ginger rabbits

hi i have seen a beautiful litter of ginger coloured rabbits at pets at home, i would luv a rabbit that colour but really dont want to buy from there, is thiis a common colour or am i going to struggle, thanks
 
Yellowy orange yes they're a fairly common colour in rabbits, bright gingery red like the rabbits in my sig are not so common, there's only a few breeds that come in this colour and they are all rare, or the colour within the breed is rare, please don't buy a rabbit from pets at home, if you're that desperate for a ginger rabbit find a responsible breeder if you don't want to wait
 
Yep they are fairly common, they come in all shades of orange :)

It is unlikely you'd see a rare colour or breed in a pet shop.
 
My Tango (in my signature) is pretty orange! :wave:
He came from my local Blue Cross rescue centre. If you don't mind what breed or if he/she is a random mixture, I'm sure you'll find one waiting for a home in rescue :thumb:
 
Orangey/Gingery buns that I found after only 2 mins on Rabbit Rehome:

There will be hundreds in rescue, the above are just a few, you just have to look. Why not go to your local rescue centre and have a look round?

At 4 months old she will be getting hormonal, so you would likely have problems if you tried to bond before she is neutered. Its a lot easier and less stressful for the buns if they have both been neutered for at least 4 weeks, preferably 8, before bonding.

Some vets will neuter earlier, my girl was neutered at 15 or 16 weeks. But if your vet is rabbit-savvy and you trust him best to stick with him.
 
Like others have said proper ginger is unlikely in pets at home rabbits.

This was my beautiful bridge bun Blanche though who was proper ginger, she was a thiantra. I miss her every day :cry:
