My rabbit is getting spayed next month, and I'd like to bond her with another rabbit sometime this year. I'm seriously considering adopting an already fixed rabbit, but I've also been looking at rabbitries in my area. I found a Teddywidder rabbitry fairly close to me, and I would love to get one because I've been interested in that breed for ages now. However, the breeder is charging $500 for her Teddywidders. That seems a little steep of a price to me, but I also know that they're a pretty rare breed, so could that be why she's charging so much? Can someone tell me the usual price range of a Teddywidder?
$500 for a Teddywidder?

I think it's an imported breed from Germany. Plus it being a rare breed here. And if these are show quality rabbits. All these points are going to contribute to the higher cost.
If you aren't a breeder and don't intend to show, and if you're only wanting a pet, I would recommend looking at reputable rescues or shelters. Getting an adult rabbit that's already fixed, will usually save a lot of hassle and money. Plus if they allow bunny dates, this will provide a greater chance of finding a compatible match to bond your current bun with.

I'm more than likely going to adopt! There's a great bunny adoption program pretty close to me that I look at frequently. Plus, I don't know if I have it in me to keep and care for two rabbits separately for months on end, get the new rabbit fixed, and have it MAYBE work out between the two, especially in my small apartment. I just love the Teddywidder breed, and that's probably the only breed I'd seek out if I weren't to adopt. I just wanted to make sure $500 wasn't an overcharge. I don't typically have $500 to spare regardless lolI think it's an imported breed from Germany. Plus it being a rare breed here. And if these are show quality rabbits.

Where are you located? My teddywidder just had babies yesterday. They are full breed American teddywidders with great genes. Both my male and female cane with pedigrees so these Lil buns will too. I got them from a breeder who also sells them for $500 depending on the color! This is my first litter and I will be selling them.

The maintenance is a lot. They are insanely cute and look like stuffed animals. I somehow ended up finding my teddywidders with good genes and pedigrees. I have spoke to some and read it's hard to find two good qualify teddywidder bunnies to mate and end up with a good batch of buns. Both mine came from great litters. I'm not sure how I'm going to rehome them though. I also don't want to breed them again. My female is mean to me while pregnant and won't let me groom her right now.I'd never heard of the breed so I googled it. They look adorable!!!

Do you have a blower? I know people that have angora's will often use pet blowers to maintain the rabbits coat, as brushing can damage it.
If this was a one time 'accidental' litter, you could list the kits under the 'rescue me' subforum, but only for a reasonable rehoming fee (eg less than $100). If this isn't going to be a one time thing and you're getting into breeding/showing, there may be a local ARBA group, or 4H if you're a youth, that you could contact.

First time I've heard of them, too. I guess I'm not surprised -- there are teddy breeds for hamsters & guinea pigs.
These look like they take a ton of work, though!

Interesting!
I personally would've gone with Fuzzy Angorahead (or Lion Lopgora?), but since the Germans developed it, I suppose they get to name it.
Is this breed pronounced Teddywidder, or does it retain its Germanic pronunciation of Teddyviddah?
