Set your travel radius
Use the distance filter with your postcode to see English Lop Rabbit adverts within 10, 25 or 50 miles of Essex instead of scrolling the whole country.
Budget beyond the price
On top of the £50–£150 purchase price, plan for insurance, food, vaccinations and neutering — ongoing costs in Essex are usually higher than rural areas.
