| Before Reserving a Rabbit! An Angora rabbit is a
commitment that has the potential to last for up to ten
years. Carefully consider whether you can
commit to the rabbit for it's whole life span.
Also you must have a strong interest in working with the
fiber, or this kind of rabbit is not for you. They
require more care, attention, and skill than the average
pet.
That said, they are wonderful, charming animals that
make great pets for spinners and fiber artists.
The extra effort required is rewarded tenfold.
Reservations and Waiting Lists
I will
usually put a litter up for reservation by two weeks of
age. The first people
to get back to me (people who have been waiting
longest will be given a three day grace period within
which to respond in order to retain their place in line) will then be first on the waiting list for that
litter. They will be first to choose (when the kits are
old enough) from the available
rabbits in the litter. Once you contact me, your
place in line will be retained for two weeks during which time I must
receive a $50 deposit and a signed copy of Harvest
Moon Sales Policy Agreement. 100% of the
deposit will go towards purchase of the Angora.
After receipt of deposit, I will post on my website
Reserved for ___ pending
deposit under your reserved bunny.
If I don't receive the deposit within the two weeks,
then your spot is given to the next person on
the waiting list. When I receive the deposit, a rabbit will
then be on hold in your name.
Reserved for ___.
The deposit is required to show serious
intention. The deposit per
rabbit is NON-refundable after the pick up date.
It is the purchasers responsibility to arrange timely
transport. If you don't arrange to pick up
the rabbit within two weeks of the rabbit being ready
and reserved, I will start charging for feed and care
out of the deposit or
put the rabbit back up available for sale. I do
reserve the right to decide not to sell a reserved animal. In this
instance, the deposit is fully refundable or
transferrable to another comparable rabbit. Hybrid and Purebred kits
will usually be ready to go to their new homes between
eight and twelve weeks.
I will sometimes want to reserve the litter or a couple
of kits a little longer
to decide on my pick. I name the kits in
purebred litters, but leave the naming of most hybrids up to
his/her new family.
Angora Care-Air Shipping Standard procedure
for obtaining any animal is that ultimately,
transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser.
I may be willing to ship rabbits weather permitting, but
I live a two hours drive away from the nearest major
airport. Air-Shipping will include my travel
expense to the airport and back. If there are any extra costs incurred
(e.g. airline fees for shipping, carriers, carryon
of pets, or extra gas expenses, etc.), the purchaser is
responsible for a non refundable pre-payment which I
will use the to make the shipping arrangements. It
costs over $175 to pay airline fees. It costs me about $50 in gas to
drive to Portland, plus four hours of time.
Vet certificates of health cost between $45 and $60
depending on the number of rabbits certified. Then
the crate has to be purchased as well. The
purchaser can work out the details with me through
e-mail or the phone. If I am not contacted
before getting on the road,
no-shows forfeit their
chosen rabbit, and transportation expenses/deposits.
If there is a
significant delay between release date, and actual
pick-up of a reserved rabbit, a room and board fee may apply ($2.50/week).
I will not charge room and board for rabbits under three
months old.
Transport- Finding,
arranging, and paying for transport of the animal within
a reasonable amount of time is the purchaser's
responsibility. At time if deposit, make
arrangements with me on an individual basis to pick up
your rabbit from Cottage Grove or Eugene Oregon.
I travel to both towns regularly. On occasion, I
travel up to the Portland area and can meet the new
owner at a prearranged time and destination.
Meeting along a major highway works well. Some fees
($.30/mile) will apply to offset my traveling expenses
if I drive out of my way. I am sometimes
making trips anyway (sometimes out of state), but this
is not to be counted on. Otherwise, I have had good luck shipping
bunnies with show people driving up and down the I-5
corridor. They generally charge
the purchaser $20-$25 for transport. Beats driving
or air shipping. I require a 50% deposit that
clears the bank before I send the rabbit off. Then
after I receive the rest of the payment, I will then
send off the pedigree. I do not charge
holding fees for rabbits under three months old.
Once over three months, the males and females need to be
separated, and the males sometimes individually.
If the rabbit is not picked up within two weeks of the
pickup date, the rest of the deposit starts paying for
food and lodging ($2.50/week per rabbit).
It is in your best interest to be sure that you
are able and willing to pick up the rabbit in a timely
manner. Unless other arrangements
are made, two weeks after the pickup date, the rabbit
goes up for sale again.
Guarantee If you are ever in
doubt, please ask questions. Every rabbits
is guaranteed to be in good health when leaving my
care. If a health problem becomes apparent
within one week, I will replace the animal if it's
illness/death was not caused by accident or negligence.
Negligence includes, but is not limited to:
improper feeding, hygiene, or housing, unprotected
exposure to cold or heat, dehydration, exposure to
harassment by other animals or children, allowing animal
to roam house (cord or carpet chewing) or yard (rabbits
don't even have to be attacked by a predator, they have
been known to die just from fright) without direct adult
supervision, etc. If you have a concern about one
of my rabbits, please contact me as soon as possible.
I will gladly be available to help you find the answer
to any questions or concerns you may have regarding angora
care.
*I will
take any rabbit back into my care at any time (no problem).
I would be happy to care for it while searching for it's
new home.*
I have read and
understand the above, and wish to see what
is...
