📝 About the Animals

The animals listed in this auction are high-quality stock that we have used or would be proud to use in our own breeding program. They are offered either because they have outproduced themselves or as part of a reduction effort to better align with our updated goals.

These decisions have not been made lightly, and we hope you’ll appreciate the opportunity to add one of these carefully selected rabbits to your rabbitry.

💰 Auction Format & Bidding Rules

  • Each animal has a set reserve price. If the final bid does not meet the reserve, the animal will not be sold. However, the highest bidder may be offered the rabbit at the reserve price post-auction.
  • Bidding increments are set at $25.
  • All bids are in USD. Non-USD bids will be deleted.
  • Racehorse-style bidding (anti-sniping) is enabled. If a bid is placed within the final 5 minutes of closing, that lot will automatically extend by 5 minutes until no new bids are placed.
    • Bids on one animal do not extend time for other lots.
  • Proxy bidding is active. Your bid will automatically increase up to your max amount in $25 increments.
  • Auction lots will be marked “EXPIRED” once closed.
  • All bidding must occur on lotsahops.com — bids placed on Facebook or other platforms will not be honored.
