Going on a rabbitry visit can and should be a very fun experience for the whole family. Usually, one would go to a rabbitry when looking to purchase a rabbit, although some breeders may allow visitors for other purposes (such as educational to a 4-H group). Whatever your reason to see a rabbitry, it is a good idea to keep the following things in mind:
Breeders love sharing their hobby and will probably talk your ear off about rabbits :) Obviously, most of the above would be more appropriate to explain to younger children, as adults know these things. I rarely have any problems with people who come to my rabbitry, but there are those interesting few which is why I've decided to make this little list of things to keep in mind. If you are concerned with your children getting so excited and "going wild" if they see a ton of rabbits, and you are just looking to buy a pet or something, it may be a good idea to ask if the breeder can choose a few rabbits and bring them into a different area for your children to see. Not all breeders allow people to come to their rabbitry. If this is their policy, don't feel offended. |
