Rabbits advice & buying guides
Space and diet
The RSPCA recommends at least 3m x 2m x 1m of combined hutch and run space for a pair, available 24 hours a day. The bulk of their diet should be good-quality hay, with fresh greens and only a small measured amount of pellets.
Vaccinations and neutering
Pet rabbits need annual vaccinations against myxomatosis, RVHD1 and RVHD2. Neutering prevents unwanted litters, reduces spraying and makes bonding easier. Ask the seller what vet care has already been done.
How much do baby rabbits cost in the UK?
Baby Rabbits typically sell for £30–£150 in the UK. Price depends on the breed or variety, health testing and registration paperwork, the seller's location and the time of year. An advert priced well below the band for its breed is one of the most common signs of an unlicensed seller or a scam.

Rabbits for sale: common questions
How much do rabbits cost in the UK?+
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.
What age can a baby rabbit leave its mother?+
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.
Should rabbits be kept in pairs?+
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.
How much space does a pet rabbit need?+
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.
What do rabbits eat?+
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.
What vaccinations do rabbits need in the UK?+
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.
How long do rabbits live?+
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.
Are rabbits good pets for children?+
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.
How do I avoid scams when buying a rabbit online?+
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.
