Availability changes often, and not every rabbit is listed on the website.

Some are shared first on our Facebook page or offered directly through Messenger.

If you’re looking for something specific, feel free to reach out — and keep an eye on upcoming litters as they arrive.

1. We do not ship our rabbits. Rabbits can be picked up in Priest River, Idaho, at a public location. BPR is often willing to meet in the following cities (and areas in between/surrounding):

   • Sandpoint, ID, Post Falls, ID, Coeur d’Alene, ID, Newport, WA, Spokane, WA, Richland/Kennewick/Pasco (Tri-Cities), WA, Ritzville, WA, at BPR’s convenience and discretion.

   • BPR works with buyers to coordinate economical and convenient pickup, whenever possible. BPR will often plan personal out-of-town errands and trips around meeting buyers along the route of travel to save on fuel and time for both parties.

2. BPR will work with buyer-arranged transport services at the buyer’s risk and expense. BPR reserves the right to refuse the use of any transport services at our discretion, in the interest of rabbit health and safety. Once the rabbit is transferred to the buyer or their transporter, all liability and responsibility transfers to the buyer/transporter.

   • If using an animal transport service, BPR may charge the Buyer for fuel and time to meet the Transporter along their route.  Fees depend on the driving distance/fuel cost for BPR to meet the Transporter and will be discussed and agreed upon with the Buyer ahead of time. Transporters typically have set routes and expect to be met along those routes for drop off and pickup.

• We feed locally milled, non-GMO, alfalfa-based pellets sourced from “Wood’s Hay & Grain” in Sandpoint, Idaho — sometimes repacked regionally under the “Kaniksu” brand. Kaniksu pellets are sold by the great people at locally-owned “Mary’s Feed Store” in Oldtown, Idaho.

• Our grower ration is an 18% protein pellet designed to support steady growth, condition, and strong development. We feed this same pellet feed to all age groups.

Yes. Because our pellets are alfalfa-based, we provide timothy hay 24/7 as a foundational part of the diet. Hay supports healthy digestion, keeps the gut active, and plays a key role in preventing issues such as GI stasis or bloat. With consistent access to quality hay, we have not experienced these problems in our kits or adults.

We believe the extra mess and waste are worth it. Rex rabbits are large animals, and hay provides both nutritional fiber and low-calorie enrichment that helps prevent boredom without overfeeding pellets or treats.

Hay is offered in metal hay feeders and kept full during morning and evening checks. We prefer three-string bales from local feed stores to ensure consistent quality, and all hay should be kept clean and dry.

‍Bear Paw Rabbitry raises Rex rabbits on a multigenerational family homestead rooted in the mountains of North Idaho. We raise purebred Rex with purpose, integrity, and a deep respect for the animal—whether destined for the show table, the rabbitry barn, or the homestead freezer.

Our goals are simple and time-honored: produce fast-growing, large, well-typed Rex rabbits for both meat and fur, while maintaining strong, healthy lines worthy of the ARBA Standard of Perfection for the breed.   ‍

We talk to our rabbits, spend time with them, and genuinely enjoy their company.

While our rabbits serve an important homestead purpose, they are also raised with love, respect, and affection — because a well-cared-for rabbit is a happy and healthy rabbit, and a happy, healthy rabbit is simply more enjoyable to raise.
