Are you sure your rabbits have any monetary value, are they vaccinated? Many of those sites are known to be frequented by those looking for bait for training illegal fighting dogs and suchlike. It would be safer to ask an animal rescue to add your rabbits to their waiting list or use your veterinarians notice board, and consider getting your adult rabbits neutered ASAP. Have you had all the rabbits sexed and separate the males from the females? I understand the next generation become fertile very quickly. You may find the RSPCA guidance on rabbits.

i didn't say we wanted money for them, we just need to find new homes, freecycle don't allow animals, and the local R.S.P.C.A. is over run

any potental owners will need to prove they know about the care of rabbits

all our rabbits live in individual hutchs, she must have been pregnant when we bought her

You used the word 'sell' before you edited the OP! :huh: I did not suggest handing the rabbits to the RSPCA but going on their waiting lists. Many pets can be re-homed straight from one to another, the rescue will do a homecheck and a check a few months later. If you wish to take risks with the babies that is your call, many have been conned before you. Why not hand the babies back to the person you bought their mother from? Presumably you believe they take good care of their rabbits.

How about the local vets.

Who did you get her from? If a pet store then take them back, with your receipt and tell them that she was pg when you got her and you do not want the kits.

I bought a rat a few yeas back - came home from work the next day and there were 14.....!!!!!!!!!

Eat them; breed them; eat them etc., etc.

Depends on the breed! Whilst a New Zealand White would be ideal, you wouldn't get much meat on a Netherland Dwarf
