Q. How old are the bunnies when you sell them?

before we place them.
Q. How long do rabbits live?
A. Rabbits live 8-12 years.
Q. Does he/she need a friend?
A. Rabbits do not need another rabbit as a companion. They actually prefer other animals or people as companions due to their territorial nature.
Q. What should I feed my rabbit?
A. You should feed your rabbit 1/4 cup of grain once a day or 1/8 cup of grain twice a day, unlimited hay plus unlimited water, green leefy veggies and a very small amount of fruit only as a treat.
Q. Can they live outside?
A. Yes, rabbits can live outside. Our rabbits are raised and live outside. Rabbits handle the cold much better than the heat.
Q. What size cage should a rabbit live in?
A. Rabbits should live in a cage no smaller than 30x30x18 inch cages and there is no maximum size for a rabbit's hutch. Providing enrichment space to run and play is strongly suggested.
Q. What is an ESA rabbit and what do they qualify for?
A. An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) rabbit is a companion rabbit prescribed by a licensed mental health professional to provide comfort, affection, and therapeutic support to an individual with a qualifying mental or emotional disability.
Unlike service animals, ESA rabbits do not require specialized training to perform tasks. Instead, their gentle presence naturally helps alleviate symptoms of conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or chronic stress.
What ESA Rabbits Qualify For
Under United States federal law, an ESA rabbit qualifies for specific legal protections, exclusively regarding housing:
Exemption from "No-Pet" Policies: Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), landlords and housing providers must make reasonable accommodations to allow you to live with your ESA rabbit, even in buildings that strictly ban pets. This protection applies to rental homes, apartments, condos, and most college dormitories.
Waiver of Pet Fees and Deposits: Landlords cannot charge you pet rent, upfront pet deposits, or extra pet fees for your ESA rabbit. Federal law classifies them as assistance animals rather than standard pets.
Exemption from Structural Rules: Your rabbit is exempt from standard building restrictions regarding animal size, weight, or specific breed bans.
What ESA Rabbits Do NOT Qualify For
It is equally important to understand the legal boundaries and limitations of ESA status:
No Public Access Rights: Unlike a service dog, an ESA rabbit does not have the legal right to enter public places that prohibit animals, such as restaurants, grocery stores, malls, or public buses.
No Guaranteed Air Travel Protections: The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) was updated to only require airlines to accommodate trained service dogs. Airlines are no longer federally mandated to allow ESAs in the cabin for free, meaning your rabbit will be subject to standard airline pet policies and fees.
How to Qualify a Rabbit as an ESA
To legally establish your rabbit as an ESA, you must obtain a formal ESA Letter.
Licensed Professional: The letter must be written and signed by a licensed mental health professional (such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, or licensed clinical social worker) who is actively registered in your state.
Documented Need: The letter must formally state that you have a diagnosed mental health condition and that the rabbit's presence provides necessary therapeutic relief for your symptoms.
Avoid Registry Scams: There is no official or legally recognized federal database or registry for ESAs. Paying for online certificates, badges, or registry numbers holds no legal weight and will not protect your housing rights.
