Advice please re Baby Rabbit

Wise Old Thumper
6 weeks ago someone local was advertising Mum, Dad and 3 x 3 week old rabbits. I decided in the end to go as no-one else had taken them on. On arrival they said they were keeping Dad and one of the babies was reserved. I told them they were too young to leave Mum and they said they didn't realise that so I brought Mum and babies home. The person I got them off now wants to know if the reserved baby is ready to leave so I pointed out that Mum is still feeding them and they also want to know will I take Dad as he is very difficult to look after with 3 children.

Anyway, I am reluctant to just let a baby go, we haven't sexed him/her yet and I don't know where he will be going. The home these came from wasn't into hay so I doubt her friend is much wiser. Should I insist on a home check or say I don't want to part with the baby as she (?) can stay with Mum. I think there is 2 girls and a boy but not sure. My instincts say not to let her go but have they a right to her as they reserved her?
 
I dont think they have a right to her as you now "own" then as opposed the person they reserved her with.

Point out that a home check would be required before the baby could be separated from its mother.

That may put them off unless they are really serious about have a rabbit.

Hope it goes well whatever you decide x
 
Not sure what your rights are. Perhaps you could print off some info. from RAWF?

It would be good to do a home check too. Good luck and well done for taking on this little family.
