4D Sales Policy
All sales are conducted in accordance with 4D Rabbit-Trees Sales & Hold/Cancellation Policies, regardless of whether the buyer has read it or not. By inquiring about or purchasing a rabbit from 4D Rabbit-Tree, you are agreeing to comply with BOTH policies in their entirety.
General
- All sales are FINAL, there will be no exceptions. There will be no refunds or exchanges.
- As we only breed to improve our own herd and make pair ups based on what we feel we are lacking in our own or what we are looking for in a rabbit per the SOP, our rabbitry has first pick of all rabbits until they leave if a deposit is made we reserve the right to cancel at anytime and provide options to refund deposit or to place on a different rabbit of same cost upon your discretion.
- We reserve the right to refuse any sale for any reason without explanation.
- Rabbits are not allowed to leave until 8 weeks. old, sometimes I will hold them longer. I don't take deposits until 8 weeks. No rabbits will leave my possession until they are paid in full.
- I do not stud my bucks to outside does. Please do not contact us with breeding inquiries. There are too many health risks and I refuse to do so.
- I cannot stress this enough! If you buy more than one rabbit please know they need to be housed SEPARATELY! Fighting or breeding will occur. I am not responsible for any injuries, disease, pregnancy or deaths that occur.
- I do NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 to purchase rabbits. If you are under 18 you MUST have a parent or guardian contact us.
Guarantees
- Under NO circumstances will we sell a rabbit that appears to be sick or have any health issues. The rabbits are healthy to the best of our knowledge. Once the rabbit leaves my care, I unfortunately cannot make any health guarantee. We are also not responsible at any time for ANY vet or medical bills for your bunny once it leaves our rabbitry. We are not able to control what the rabbit is exposed to outside of our rabbitry or any problems that arise either directly or indirectly. There will be NO REFUNDS or replacements, this is a typical policy
- We do NOT guarantee show placings, weight, fertility, or temperament. It is the buyer’s responsibility to know what they are looking for in a show or breeding animal and to confirm that the rabbit they are purchasing is free from disqualifications or is the type they expect. What you see at the time of purchase is solely at your own risk. My opinion is just my personal opinion.
- All of our rabbits are good tempered. However temperament issues can occur or develop later at any age due to hormones or unforeseen factors. We handle our rabbits on a regular basis and breed for both type and disposition. We attempt to expose our rabbits to noise and children and I will not sell any rabbit that shows any sign of aggression prior to sale. We cannot guarantee that a rabbit will never scratch, kick or bite. These are prey animals and it is in their nature to do so.
- My husband and I both sex and double check our rabbits. Rabbit gender cannot be 100% guaranteed. We can still make mistakes. Always double check the sex of your rabbit before accepting delivery.
- I do not guarantee that any rabbit will not have any line breeding in their pedigrees. I do not knowingly breed littermates. Rabbits are designed to be linebred to a degree and any good stock will have some degree of line breeding in its history. This is different than people, dogs and cats etc. I do my best to keep the lines as separate as possible but I do follow the breed the best eat the rest somewhat regardless of relation philosophy.
Pickup & Transport
- I will consider using outside transport at this time pending their reviews. I do however reserve the right to refuse transport or use of a certain transport upon my digression. I do have a few transports I refuse to work with so Please contact us about which and who the transporter is before providing them any deposit or info for transport. I am willing to allow a personal individual to pickup rabbit as your proxy but am released from any and all liability if they fail to sex or inspect the rabbit at time of pickup and am not responsible for its condition after it has left my possession.
- If you are to pick up a rabbit we will meet outside of my home and only the rabbit chosen will be brought to the meeting location to maintain Biosecurity.
- If I am to be personally transporting a rabbit on a trip I am making the rabbit must be Paid in Full prior to departure date and I am not responsible for the rabbit in the case that it is injured during transport. Every reasonable effort will be made to ensure their safe arrival but things happen out of my control. I will work with you on a agreeable solution should the worse happen during transport. On Pickup you are responsible to again inspect rabbit and acceptance of rabbit constitutes agreement that its in acceptable condition. Transport of great distance is stressful and I am not responsible for the rabbit after it has left my care.
- You should always check your rabbit upon seeing it to check for sex, type, whatever you may be expecting. Make sure the rabbit is what you are looking for before making a final decision.
- When coming to pick up a rabbit please bring a box or a carrier. It is your responsibility to transport your rabbit home safely. No transport cages/carriers/boxes will be provided unless previously discussed.
Pedigrees & Tattoos
- If the rabbit has been fully named prior to or during sale, there will be NO changing or modifying pedigrees in any way. If you are purchasing a rabbit and want a specific name feel free to let me know. If I haven’t already used the name I am more than happy to use it as the rabbit’s formal name prior to pick up.
- All pedigrees are to retain the prefix “4D’s” / “4D Rabbit-Tree’s” / "Four-D Rabbit-Tree's" unless another prefix is already in place. If the rabbit does not have a name on the pedigree after the prefix but lists it tattoo number in the name slot you may rename the rabbit as long as the prefix “4D’s” / “4D Rabbit-Tree’s” / "Four-D Rabbit-Tree's" remains.
- All purebred rabbits that are sold will have a tattoo/ear number (except for pet quality). This is for identification purposes and is needed when showing and listed on their pedigree. If you choose to purchase a rabbit as a pet and it has a tattoo just know this is not able to be removed and no pedigree will be given. If the rabbit you purchase does not have an ear number or is not sold with a pedigree I personally don't deem it potential show or breeding worthy and it should not be bred. If the rabbit you are purchasing has not already been tattooed and you do not wish it to be tattooed Please request that at first contact I cannot remove a tattoo once it is there and a rabbit without a tattoo will not come with a pedigree unless previously agreed on in the case that it is missing ears due to mom over cleaning etc I may make an exception based on Body type
MISCELLANEOUS
- Rabbits are very sensitive to sudden dietary changes. All buyers are provided with a baggie of transition feed to mix with their own feed once the rabbit gets to its new home. We currently are finding the best feed that fits our needs so feed may change from rabbit to rabbit at times but always ask if interested in what specific feed or supplements we maybe using. We feed a Mix or rotation of Alfalfa, Orchard, Oat, Bermuda Hay. We do not feed Timothy hay due to an allergy in our household as well as a few buns that have had allergies to it in the past. We also feed horse Alfalfa Cubes.
- Dewormer. Adult Rabbits are treated Semiannually...Normally Jan and June. Rex are treated with Ivermectin/Ivomec. Dutch are treated with Safeguard due to potential reactions Dutch have with Ivermectin.
- All of our rabbits come with support, and as such buyers are encouraged to contact me with any questions or concerns about their rabbit at any point in the animal's life. I will do my best to assist with any questions or issues that may arise.
