What Do You Do When You Mis-*** a Sold Rabbit - Sold a Doe, Turned Out to be a Buck!

[Rabbits by Accident]

I sold two 'sisters' I just heard from the customer that she just had babies! (not happy!) LOL

So, in talking to her, I offered to take both parents back (no refund) and raise the babies for her and she can pick one of the babies and start over LOL

Doesn't matter to me really, I have the room and either sell them or eat them (can't let her know LOL)

What do you do in this situation?

I've only sold one I wasn't 100% sure on and they never contacted back so I haven't had this situation

I do nothing. SCF happens frequently with rabbits. I rarely sell pairs and when I do I advise that sometimes the SCF comes along, and to be alert and keep checking genders, AND to be alert to dominance issues. I have a whole spiel that I do about paired rabbits.

Okay, I'll bite. What is SCF? When I googled it this is what came up LOL

"Rabbit recombinant monoclonal SCF antibody [EP665Y]"

and I don't think that is what you are referencing

EDIT .... *** CHANGE FAIRY I GET IT LOL

Sometimes when a 'doe' turns into a buck it can be due to a split *****. This makes bucks look like does with a 'taco' which is in fact the split. If you have any that you're not sure about, the only way to make certain is to keep them until puberty, 12-14 weeks, when the ***** changes shape at the tip and becomes more pointed, and the testicles start to drop.

Some breeds are more prone to split ***** than others, as it can get into lines because the defect is also carried by the doe (but of course not visible). Mode of inheritance is not known but it could be a simple recessive, made more complicated by a doe not being able to express it.

I would ask her if she wants to give the buck back in exchange for a doe, if you have a doe available. Or if she's ok with you getting both back and then she picking two does from that litter then I would do that.
