You are not bad you are a concientious breeder and they are hard to find.
Well done you for turning them away you were right in doing so.
I don't think rabbits are for kids whether they be giant or mini breeds.

Remember whats happening with my neighbour at the moment, this seems like it would be the same situation. Your right for not wanting to give one of your babies to a toddler who'll not be able to look after it.

thanks all you have made me feel better.

i would have no problem with it but the lady clearly stated she wanted it for her child to cuddle upto on her lap in which obviously i told her rabbits dont like being picked up (most of them) i know some people have said no no to guinea pigs but i spose as my children have guineas from a young age i auto think there a good pet for youngsters my eldest daughters nursery even had them in there for the children to pet.

my 12 yr old daughter owns our guineas and she is a fab guinea owner she feeds waters and cleans them all the time but i spose 12 is alot older than 2 lol

I think you were right to turn them away tbh, I'm expecting alitter any day now, and as I did before, I will have a lot of questions for any potential buyers that will allow me to see whether or not they are fit to/know how to look after them and knows what is required when owning a rabbit. If I find anyone that I dont think is going to be able to give them the best life then I'll turn them away, particularly if they're going to be buying it for such a young child. That wouldnt make anyone bad.

got someone coming to see them today, she has asked lots of questions about the breed and the size, she has said she has had buns for years but never a giant and asked if a wooden play house would be suitable if the garden was secure for daytime use.

now thats the type of homes i approve of, they also have a teenage daughter but the woman said its not for her daughter although she will let her think it is lol

No you definitely did the right thing in my opinion. A 3ft hutch is definitely too small for a large breed rabbit. My two Nethies have a 4ft two storey hutch each and a four foot run attached which they can use from 7am till around 10 at night.

Well done to you ;]
I'd of been like 'HOW DARE THEEEE TRY AND PUT MY BUNNEHH IN A SMALL HUTCH!!!!'
;D but i'm guessing you kept your cool.

I'd love a female giant in the future to be a house bun haha :]
a giant with my nethie would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:>
Maybe I'll take the plunge when poppets eye has recovered :] x

Even so the minimum size hutch for 2 piggies is 4ft x 2ft.
So sounds like her accomodation was only fit for a hamster
