Hi everyone...as the title says, what is the difference ? The young couple who are renting our old place called and asked if I had bunnies to sell. Her husband is going into basic training soon, and she needs some pets as she'll be alone until he's done and stationed somewhere. I offered Em. with a re-homing fee, and she said she wanted two buns of the same gender, so they could keep each other company while she's at work.
So I said she could have Em. and Tigger with a small re-homing fee of 30.$ for the pair. She was a little surprised that it was so much....but it's partly to cover Em's spay and that she would need to have Tigger spayed as well. She finally agreed, but wondered whynotjust say "sell" - - -instead of re-home. I think she thought re-homing meant "free". Gaahhh !!!!!!!!
A re-homing fee is neccessary to ensure the pet isn't easily dumped somewhere ; so it's not the same as selling.
What do you all think ? It seems like selling is more about profit, but re-homing shows you care. Just my .02
I rarely go to the PetSmart by us because their ferret cage is so bad ; but back when I was trying to look for a bun for my son, the store clerk said they make very little profit from rabbit sales as most of the stock is from H.S. and needs neutering/worming , ect. But that's a topic for a new post....sorry for being so long-winded.
