How clean is the rabbitry ? A clean rabbitry is a good indication of the health of the animals. Stand back and watch them for a little while. See which are the most active. Is there one that sits off by him? He may not be the one for you ask why he is like that as he may be sick or just plain shy.  Ask if you can open the cage and see which one comes up to greet you. & make sure you hold it to make sure it is quiet, Look for nice weight, bright eyes and healthy coat. The fur doesn't have to be shiny, just thick and resilient. If the fur is very dull and thin, the bunny may a parasite, or simply got "hind teat" in a large litter! Ask to see the teeth or check them yourself. They should close like people teeth, top over bottom. Rub your hands all over the body and feel for any scabs. They may be from litter mates fighting and could abscess or they may be caused by fur mites. Point any out to the owner to see what they have to say about it as they may be aware of it or may not.                                                                           Also check there feet for fur loss Make sure you tell the breeder what type of bunny you won’t example pet, show, and breeding. Check out some different breeds there are allot around now just need to find that perfect one just for you. As a very small bunny may not always be the best choice as these can be very nuverse animals due to there size a medium size bunny may be quieter & less nurverse.

Most important is to have all items needed for the new bunny to come home two. Enjoy. 

When you 1st tack bunny home                                                                                                                                         It’s important your new bunny isn’t over handled for the first week you bring him/her home.  Keep the new one in his cage handle just a little a day, this will make her feel secure, and help the little one get to know her new place. After your bun has settled into his new home they will love the interaction with you especially if on there own as they love the interaction of there owners or another bunny friend.                                                                                Its very importent to mix the food that the breeder gives you with your own then feed each day .
