Baby Rabbits typically sell for £30–£150 in the UK. Price depends on breed, species or variety, health testing and registration paperwork, the seller's location and the time of year. Anything priced well below the range below is worth questioning — it is a common sign of an unlicensed seller or a scam advert.

Have the accommodation ready first. UK welfare guidance is at least 3m x 2m x 1m of permanently connected space, sheltered from wind and rain, with a hide, a raised platform and safe things to chew. A traditional small hutch alone no longer meets accepted standards.
Rabbits kept alone are chronically stressed. Buying an already-bonded neutered pair from a rescue or breeder saves the slow, sometimes difficult process of bonding two strangers later, and costs less than neutering two rabbits separately.
Look for clean ears with no crust, a dry nose, a clean rear with no matting, straight front teeth and a bright, alert manner. Ask whether myxomatosis and RVHD vaccinations have been started, and see both parents where the litter was bred at home.
Baby rabbits usually sell for £30–£150. Crossbred bunnies are cheapest; Netherland Dwarf, Lionhead, Mini Lop and pedigree show rabbits sit at the top of the range. The hutch or shed, run, and neutering will cost far more than the rabbit itself.
Eight weeks at the very earliest. Rabbits weaned earlier are at high risk of fatal digestive problems, so a seller offering six-week-old babies should be avoided.
Yes. Rabbits are highly social and should never live alone. The best pairing is a neutered male with a neutered female. Bonding two rabbits takes time and should be done gradually on neutral ground.
UK welfare guidance is a minimum of 3m x 2m x 1m of permanently connected space so rabbits can hop, stand upright on their back legs and stretch out fully. A small hutch on its own is not enough and no longer meets accepted welfare standards.
Around 85% of the diet should be good-quality hay or fresh grass, available at all times, with a handful of leafy greens daily and only a small measured portion of pellets. Muesli-style mixes cause selective feeding and dental disease and are best avoided.
Rabbits need annual vaccination against myxomatosis and both strains of rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RVHD1 and RVHD2), including house rabbits. Ask whether the breeder has started the course before you collect.
Eight to twelve years with good care, which is longer than many first-time owners expect. They are a long-term commitment closer to a cat than to a small caged pet.
Rabbits are prey animals and most dislike being picked up, so they suit calm, patient families rather than young children who want a cuddly pet. They are best enjoyed at floor level, and an adult should always be responsible for their care.
View the animal in person at the seller's own home before any money changes hands, keep all messages inside PetTrader so there is a record, and never pay by bank transfer, gift card or crypto to someone you have not met. Every PetTrader seller completes a photo-ID and live selfie check, and verified accounts carry a badge, and you can report an advert from the listing page.
Selling rather than buying? Identity-verified private sellers get their first advert free, and the first 200 businesses and breeders get 12 months free.
