Purchasing your rabbit
Many people will often buy their first rabbit from a pet shop. The majority of pet shops obtain their rabbits from commercial breeders in order to ensure a constant supply, yet, these commercial breeders usually use mass breeding programmes aimed at quantity rather than quality, which are therefore bred on the basis of profit, although some pet shops will buy from private breeders.
If you choose to buy your pet rabbit from a pet shop it’s always a good idea to check that the shop staff is competent and confident when determining the sex of rabbits, and also that female and male rabbits are kept separate to avoid purchasing a pregnant rabbit.
You should look elsewhere for your rabbit if you are not satisfied with shops, lack of knowledge, condition of the pets or overall condition of the pet shop. The heartache and additional expenses that can be caused by dealing with problems that they may present if unhealthy or pregnant.
If you come across a situation when the condition of the shop or the rabbits were in a state of high concern it is possible that this pet store is not licensed however, the majority of shops will be. However should you come across such a case a report should be made to the Animal Welfare organisation or the local authority.
