Placement Policy
Placement Requirements
All rabbits are placed as indoor companion animals only.
Pet placements require execution of the Companion Rabbit Placement & Spay/Neuter Agreement.
Rabbits are placed based on overall fit, not order of inquiry.
Pricing
Placement fees reflect age and spay/neuter status and are consistent regardless of color or markings.
Unaltered junior rabbits (2–5 months) - $350
Neutered bucks (4 years and under) - $600
Spayed does (4 years and under) - $650
Neutered bucks, ages 5–6 years — $250
Spayed does, ages 5–7 years — $250
We may occasionally place older altered rabbits as companion candidates for compatible homes, especially for families seeking a rabbit friend for a bereaved bonded rabbit. Rabbits beyond our usual placement age remain here as permanent residents.
Thank you for supporting responsible rabbit care and helping us ensure that every rabbit receives the quality care they deserve.
Reservation & Payment
A rabbit may be reserved with a $50 non-refundable deposit, which is applied toward the total placement fee.
Deposits may be sent via Venmo or PayPal.
The remaining balance is due in cash at the time of pickup.
Age at Placement
Rabbits are not placed before eight (8) weeks of age.
No exceptions are made to this policy.
Temperament & Development
Temperament descriptions are based on observation while the rabbit is in our care. Environmental changes, hormones, and maturation may affect behavior over time. Temperament cannot be guaranteed after placement.
Sex Determination
While every effort is made to accurately determine sex, rabbits may occasionally be mis-sexed. Sex is not guaranteed.
Health Guarantee
Because environment, diet, handling, stress, exposure, and veterinary decisions are outside our control after pickup, Hot Cross Buns Holland Lops cannot be responsible for illness, injury, or health conditions that arise after the rabbit leaves our care.
Refunds & Returns
No refunds are offered.
If a rabbit cannot remain with the Purchaser, the rabbit must be returned to Hot Cross Buns Holland Lops in accordance with the Placement Agreement.
Returning a rabbit does not entitle the Purchaser to a refund or replacement.
Pickup & Transport
Rabbits are not shipped.
The Purchaser must be present at pickup.
All paperwork is completed at the time of pickup.
Multiple Rabbit Placements
Two rabbits of opposite sex will not be placed together unless one rabbit is already spayed or neutered.
Bonding is never guaranteed and should always be done slowly, safely, and with supervision.
What Goes Home With Each Rabbit
At pickup, each rabbit is provided with:
Birth record
Care information
Transitional pellet food
Transitional hay
Small comfort items
Final Note
By proceeding with a placement inquiry, the Purchaser acknowledges that they have reviewed and understand this Placement Policy and the Companion Rabbit Placement & Spay/Neuter Agreement.
