This sweet bunny has not had the best life until he was rescued by his current owner Lydia, who is near Bridgwater. She said:
“I rescued him from a pub, he was shut away in a cage in a shed, no light, no space, dirty cage, nails and inch long, skinny, clearly neglected, the owner asked me if I wanted him and I took him immediately with no real plan, I was hoping rehoming him, hoping it wouldn't be that difficult after he was better but I haven't managed to find anyone, I feel awful for him but I can't keep him anymore I only have a small garden, he just deserves better.”
Lydia has called him Eeyor, and he is a neutered 4 year old male. She said he does not appear to have any issues, and has a lovely calm temperament, currently with free roam of the house and garden. As he is not vaccinated, CottonTails will give £40 towards his vaccination, payable to the vet that will carry out the procedure. It needs to be paid in advance, and the vaccination will be arranged by the new owner to suit their location and vet preference.
If you can offer a suitable, permanent home for him where he can have the chance to bond with a neutered female, get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we will go from there.

This is a relist of this lovely pair - they have been on our books for ages now so I am hoping we will be successful this time 🤞
This pretty pair need a new home! The female (the harlequin lop x) has not been spayed so CottonTails will give £60 towards her spay, payable in advance of the op to the vet who will carry out the procedure. This will be arranged by the new owner to suit vet preference and location. She appears from the photo to be a bit overweight, so the new owner needs to be mindful of a good healthy diet for both of them.
She will benefit from her spay not only medically but behaviourally too, as she would appear to be a bit feisty on occasion - probably a result of hormonal fluctuations.
If you can offer a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by PM (not comments) and we will go from there.
Here is what owner Becky said:

Callie is the female (white and grey). She is 3 years old and quite a large girl. She has lots of sass but also very loving. She always searches you for food even if you have just fed her. She loves a range of fruits and veggies. She also loves to chuck her ball at you for you to play ball with her. She absolutely loves lounging around getting as much beauty sleep as possible (not that she thinks needs it) so a little bribery with snacks should get her moving! She has been completely healthy with regular vet checks and never needed any medication. She is very protective of Dexter (her cage mate).
Dexter is the neutered male (white with black rings around his eyes). He is 4 years old and is the more reserved out of the 2. Dexter is very quiet and often relies on Callie to check things are safe before he can move. Although his bright blue eyes and dark circles stare into your soul, please know that there probably isnt a thought rolling around in his head apart from food! He’s a very sweet boy that loves a snuggle but he isnt the smartest of boys (please dont tell him that!). He is also very much a lover of food and has never been unwell.
We live just outside of Bath in Westfield/Radstock.

This young bunny needs a new home. He is in Aberdale, in Wales, so not that local but I think it is still worth a try to find him his forever home. As he is not neutered or vaccinated, CottonTails will give £60 towards his castration and £40 towards his vaccination, payable to the vet who will carry out the procedures. The new owner will organise this to suit location and vet preference.
If you can offer him a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we will go from there.
Here is what owner Molli said:

“His name is Augustine and he is one years old. He is not neutered or vaccinated yet. He is an inside bunny and has free run of the upstairs. I live in wales CF44.”
