Bunny Waiting List

We completely understand this concern, especially with how common scams have become. We always encourage families to take their time, ask questions, and make sure they feel comfortable before moving forward.

One of the best ways to get to know us is through our website and social media. We regularly share updates, photos, and videos of our bunnies, and you’ll also find reviews and feedback from many of our past families.

We’re always happy to communicate with you directly and answer any questions you have. If you’d like extra reassurance, we can also FaceTime or video chat with you when it’s time to choose your bunny so you can see them in real time.

At the end of the day, we want you to feel comfortable and confident, not rushed or unsure.

No, you absolutely do not have to join the waiting list to get a bunny from us at Country Bumpkin Bunnies.

Joining our waiting list gives you the best opportunity to see available bunnies before they are offered to the public, and it’s the best option if you’re looking for something specific in terms of color, gender, or overall look.

That being said, we almost always have bunnies that are not selected by the waiting list that do get posted on our website, so it is definitely still possible to get a bunny without being on the list.

We do recommend following us on social media, as we often announce when new bunnies are posted so you can check the website right away.

That’s totally fine, and honestly a lot of our families plan ahead.

If you’re thinking about getting a bunny within the next year, we do recommend going ahead and joining the waiting list. Even if you’re a few months out, getting on the list early gives you a much better spot, and there’s a good chance you could be near the top by the time you’re actually ready. That means you’ll have first choice when the time comes.

If you’re further out, like a year or more away, it’s usually better to wait a bit before joining. Our waiting list deposit is only good for one year, and we want to make sure you have plenty of time to use your spot when you’re ready.

No, the $53 waiting list deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable unless a health concern arises.

We ask that you make sure you’re fully ready for a bunny and that everyone in your household or your landlord is on board before placing your deposit.

The price of an English Angora bunny can vary depending on factors like color, markings, and overall quality.

At Country Bumpkin Bunnies, our bunnies typically range from $375 to $900.

Pricing can vary based on things like sex, color pattern, and rarity. For example, some colors or markings are more difficult to produce, and females are often priced slightly higher than males.

Yes, absolutely. While we commonly use PayPal and Venmo, we can also accept Apple Pay, Cash App, or Zelle if that works better for you.

If you have a preference, just let us know and we’ll be happy to help you with whichever option is easiest for you.

Yes, you’re welcome to reserve more than one bunny. Each bunny requires its own deposit, and each deposit holds a separate place on the waiting list.

For example, if you place two deposits, you will have two positions in line and two opportunities to choose from the Bumpkin Bunny Pick List.

You can use those positions however you’d like. You may choose two bunnies at the same time, or select one and wait to use your second spot later within your one-year deposit period.

Our waiting list can vary throughout the year. Sometimes it’s short, and other times it may look longer, but it often moves much faster than it appears.

Many families on the list have very specific preferences for gender, color, or timing. For example, some may join months in advance and choose to wait for a certain time of year, while others may pass when it’s their turn.

Because of this, even if the list looks long, it does not necessarily mean you will have a long wait. In many cases, families are able to choose from the very next litter or shortly after joining.

Joining the waiting list gives you the opportunity to choose before bunnies are made available to the public, putting you in the best position to get the bunny you’re looking for.

You’re welcome to share your preferences for gender, color, coat pattern, or any other traits when you apply. We’ll keep those in mind when it’s your turn to choose.

For example, you might be looking for something specific like a BEW buck (blue-eyed white male) or a certain color or pattern.

While we can’t guarantee your exact preferences will be available right away, we do keep them in mind when planning pairings and working toward specific outcomes whenever possible.

If your preferred traits are not produced at all during your one-year deposit period, we’re happy to extend your deposit for one additional year to give you more time to find the right match. This situation is extremely rare, as we have consistently been able to match families with their preferences within that timeframe, often much sooner.

However, if a bunny matching your original preferences is offered and you choose to pass, your deposit will still expire on the original one-year date. We are not able to extend deposits due to changes in preference or choosing to wait after your preferences have been met.

English Angora rabbits are often called the “puppy dog” of rabbits because of their sweet, friendly personalities. They tend to be much more social and less skittish than many other breeds.

As far as choosing based on personality, it can be a little tricky at a young age. We see the bunnies while they are still with their siblings and their mom, and once they go to a new home, their environment completely changes. Because of that, their personalities can change too.

For example, a bunny that seems very outgoing and playful here may become more calm in a new home, and a quieter bunny may open up and become more social over time.

That being said, we do spend a lot of time with our bunnies, and if we ever notice any concerning or undesirable personality traits, those bunnies are not offered for selection.

Overall, our bunnies are known for having wonderful, gentle personalities, and most families are very happy with how their bunny settles in and bonds with them.

Bunnies can look quite different from how they’ll look as adults.

The best way to get an idea is by visiting Our Herd page, where you can see our adult rabbits. These are our breeding bunnies, so they give you a really good idea of what your bunny may look like when fully grown.

You can also visit our Color page, which shows a variety of different colors and patterns to help you better understand what to expect as your bunny matures.

We’re always happy to help guide you as well, and can give you a better idea of what your bunny may look like based on their current stage.

Once you choose your bunny from our waiting list, no additional payment is required to reserve it if your bunny is under 8 weeks old. Your waiting list deposit is applied toward your bunny and secures them until they are ready to go home at 8 weeks, at which point the remaining balance is due.

After choosing your bunny, here are your next steps:

• 🚗 Plan transportation
  Decide how your bunny will get home. Visit our Transport Page to review your options.
• 🏡 Prepare your home
  Start getting everything ready before your bunny arrives. Visit our Preparing for Your Bunny page for a full checklist of supplies and setup.
• 📋 Review the first 7 days
  Learn what to do (and what to avoid) during the transition period. Visit our 7 Day Guidelines page to help your bunny settle in successfully.

Your deposit will expire after one year. If you haven’t chosen a bunny by then, your name will be removed from the list and the deposit forfeited. Please make sure you are ready and wanting a bunny within a year of placing a deposit.

In rare cases where a bunny becomes ill or has a medical issue, we will inform you immediately. You’ll be offered the choice to:

• transfer your deposit to another bunny
  or

• wait for another litter
