Alpha Buck
I had a woman ring me up to ask about German lops, she wants to have a pair of does living together because she heard that works. I mentioned that a buck and doe would work too as long as both were neutered 'oh I don't want to spay/neuter them, thats why i want 2 girls, the operations are too expensive :shock:'. I then pointed out that 2 unspayed does might live together as babies, but when hormones kick in they could very well rip each other to shreds. I pointed out that a spay only costs £60 and would prevent them getting uterine cancer. She did conceed at that point that £60 wasn't really that expensive.
I suggested that she may perhaps want to consider going to a rescue, where she could get a ready bonded pair of girls, already spayed and vaccinated, for alot cheaper than paying for everything herself. 'but I want baby bunnies....' :roll: i did point out that some rescues have baby bunnies as they rescue does that come in pregnant. She was quite surprised by that and did say it may be worth looking into then.
Shes going to pop round in a few weeks to see the size of my rabbits and see their temprements etc, I've told her I won't have any babies ready for rehoming until at least September and she's happy to wait - so at least shes not likely to rush down to P@H.
She did say i'd given her lots to think about, at least I have 3 months to educate her before I consider rehoming any bunnies to her!!
