So I get people emailing me through my website.

I make my website as clear as I can for folks and I am often told how friendly and helpful it is.

So.. why do I get these WEBFORM responses?

We are interested in buying a recently weaned mini rex as a pet. Please call to let us know availability. Thanks.


You were just ON my website.
ERGO.. you should know that I don't have any. I haven't even bred my mini rex for a good while. I only have ONE senior doe. And my buck is still a baby.

I just find it confounding at times...and I really shouldn't complain or be bothered. But tonight for some reason it's like WHAT???

Ignore me, I'll be fine in the morning....

I hear ya! I CLEARLY state on my website that I do NOT breed for pets and don't make pet sales, yet I've had 3 contacts this week for them. Arg. It's always those who wouldn't make good pet owners too...saying "I need a friend for my guinea pig" or "my son would like a bunny for his birthday", ect ect.

Okay, I'm done ranting too. ;)

so this morning I actually called the lady and we chatted rabbits for a while. sounds like the ideal pet rabbit person. I gave her links to a number of local breeders and she'll follow up with them.

I got an e-mail once asking if I had any Mini Rex for sale... Yeah. In my back pocket. :lol: I get a lot of people from the ARBA website asking for Dwarfs, which if they took the time to look at my website instead of just copy and pasting the e-mail they would see I don't breed Dwarfs anymore. It's laziness, and those are the people who just e-mail several people in a cookie cutter, copy and paste e-mail.

It's so annoying. To contact me you either look at the Nestbox or the For Sale page. I put out a lot of information about my rabbits so I won't get stupid e-mails. What I have available is what I have available.

Oh my goodness. That is like my number 1 pet peeve!!! I have it stated everywhere that I only breed ND and HL and of what colors...and I still get outrageous emails asking if I have this breed in this color. It´s like, why bother coming to my website if you´re not going to read. On my contact page it has a small list of things to remember. Including that you must include certain information for me to reply. I still get one liners with no name and no subjects. Or asking for availability when it clearly states that everything I ever have available is on my sales page. I recently got an email asking for an orange, harlequin, and red. Like....how are you going to just assume I raise those colors because you want them. Gah!!

Hey, look at you! You chatterbox you. Now you can request a new title! PM the Admin to do so

It's incredibly stupid! So far I've only had one person contact me asking to come TO our place and see what we have available, even though we have nothing available, and it's stated right on the For Sale page "Sorry, we have nothing available"

I get these e-mails all the time and half of them actually start with I was "just" on your website and I was wondering if you had any -insert breed I have never had, and never will have here-

It absolutely drives me batty, if you were just ON my website you would know what I have and what I don't have.
