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?

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 lol
