Please ask us about any policies that are unclear or that you are concerned about. You may be asked to sign a copy of these policies. The purchase of one of our rabbits implies consent to these policies, regardless of whether a form is signed.
- Rabbits purchased from Hoppin’ Hollow Rabbitry must always be offered back to Hoppin’ Hollow before they are re-sold. None of our animals may EVER be surrendered to a shelter or rescue - we will always take them back without charge.
- We will not hold rabbits for more than 24 hours without a 50% deposit. Deposits are NONREFUNDABLE . We take Venmo, CashApp, and cash. The full cost of the rabbit must be paid before they leave our care.
- We may offer discounts or lease agreements for 4H children. Minors must have an adult present at pickup.
- It is your responsibility to bring a suitable carrier to pick up your new rabbit.
- We may decide to offer a replacement rabbit or refund if a rabbit dies or becomes ill within the first 24 hours, *at our discretion.* We will not cover any vet fees. We cannot guarantee health after a rabbit leaves our care.
- Please be ready to tell us about your rabbit-related goals so we can help find the rabbit that best fits your needs.
- Our rabbits are bred for good temperament and socialized daily. We will always be open about each rabbit’s temperament to the best of our knowledge; however, rabbits are prey animals that may kick or bite when frightened. If you choose to handle a rabbit, you are doing so at your own risk.
- We cannot guarantee temperament, show potential, breeding potential, or adult weight. We will disclose information about each rabbit’s show and breeding history, their parents’ histories, and our opinions about them. You are also welcome to ask for feedback from other breeders based on information and photos we send you.
- No rabbits will leave our care before 8 weeks, and many will stay longer so we can see how they grow out.
- We might be able to meet outside of Las Cruces for a fee. If we have to leave the Las Cruces area to meet you, your rabbit must be paid for in full 24 hours prior to our departure from Las Cruces. If you fail to meet at the designated pickup spot within 30 minutes of the agreed time, the rabbit will be up for sale again and you will not receive a refund.
- If we sell you a rabbit as the wrong s*x or with a split p***s, malocclusion, or entropion, let us know before they turn 16 weeks old or within 15 days of receipt, whichever is later. After we confirm the issue to our satisfaction and the rabbit has been returned to us alive and in good health, you may select either a new rabbit of the same original value or a refund. We will not issue refunds or offer replacements for rabbits you decide to keep.
- Rabbits leave us with tattoos in the left ear. Never modify or add to the tattoo in the left ear.
- Rabbits from Hoppin’ Hollow Rabbitry may only be registered under the name and tattoo number on their pedigree. Never change any Hoppin’ Hollow Rabbitry pedigree information *except* YOUR RABBIT’S weight, registration number, legs, grand champion number, and notes. At your request, we will provide an updated pedigree if your rabbit’s ancestors become registered, earn new legs, or become grand champions.
- Hoppin’ Hollow Rabbitry retains the sole right to change the official name of rabbits from our rabbitry. Never change pedigree names of any Hoppin’ Hollow’s rabbit. Please request an updated pedigree if you would like to change your rabbit’s name on the pedigree. We reserve the right to overrule name changes for any reason.
- Our outdoor rabbits have misters in the summer. Our summer coats get hard water on them and do not look nice. If you buy a rabbit from us in the summer, expect their coat to look rough.
- We always have first pick on any of our rabbits unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. Our first priorities are our breeding goals and producing rabbits for our family’s consumption.
- Please give us credit if you share our pictures.
- We are monitoring the RHVD2 and new world screwworm situations and may create new policies as needed. Many of our primary herd rabbits are vaccinated for RHDV2, but most of the rabbits we sell are not.
- We do not allow visits onto our property.
