Selling Rabbits As Pets by atnerjennac24(f): 9:33am On Apr 17, 2019


When selling rabbits as pets, you have to take into account that most of your customers probably have little or no experience with caring or raising a rabbit.

Often they end up with a rabbit that everyone is interested in only to find out as the months drag on that the child grows out of the rabbit or that the interest fades away.

One of the things you can do to make the sale successful is to provide basic information and instruction to your customers about the care and feeding of their new pets. Educate them about the personality traits and natural tendencies of rabbits like chewing on furniture and cords.
Your customers will appreciate an information sheet or packet telling them what their new pet will need and enjoy in the way of diet and nutrition and care.

You should let customers know they can come to you with questions and concerns about the well being of their new pet. Let them know that acting quickly when a rabbit acts ill can save it's life. Expect to answer a lot of questions. Have on hand the phone number of a 'rabbit' vet that you can provide to your customers. Include in your info sheet common health concerns and pointers on when to seek medical advice and the local rabbit vets phone number.

Never sell them an animal that you would not buy yourself. Do not sell them before they're weaned, or when you doubt they are in good health.
Keep records. Know what your customers bought. This includes breed, gender and key dates, like date of purchase, day of birth of the rabbit.
Offer the customer options. Let them know you will accept drop offs. That you will take back an unwanted rabbit that they can't take care of or rehome at no cost to them. At least then you will have acted responsibly to both the rabbit, and the customer and can perhaps benefit from breeding the rabbit later.
