This bonded pair are in Bradford on Avon and they need a new home. Both will be neutered and up to date with their vaccinations before action (one is already neutered). If you can offer a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by PM (not comments please) and we will go from there. Their owner Catherine said:
“Alfie and Biscuit are a bonded couple. Both two and a half years old. They are a gorgeous pair and have been used to being free range house rabbits - with indoor cage at night and when we are out. They are litter trained. Alfie’s very brave and affectionate Biscuit needs to feel secure but once she does is very affectionate and relaxed too. They are an active inquisitive pair and need enrichment - stuff to do/explore/munch. As per most rabbits they love to explore in the morning and evening during the day they chill together. They’ve been able to make use of our garden in the summer again with lots of running about space and I’d love for them to have a home where they’ll be able to explore and be their inquisitive selves. We are only passing them on as our situation has changed we aren’t in as much as we were and they need more freedom and attention than we can now give. Both are neutered and Alfie is vaxxed and Biscuit will be by the time she’s rehomed. Happy to answer any questions anyone might have or discuss.”

This pair of females are in Chippenham, and they need a new home. As neither female is neutered, CottonTails will pay £60 towards each spay, payable to the vet that will carry out the procedures. This will be arranged by the new owner to suit their location and vet preference.
CottonTails will also pay £40 towards the vaccinations if they are now due, again payable to the vet that will carry out the injections. The grants need to arranged and claimed before the vet appointments take place.
If you can offer a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by PM (not comments please) and we will go from there.
Their owner Rebecca said:

“They are called Mocha and Latte. Both girls, not neutered, about 3 years old. I adopted them 18 months ago but they were rescued bunnies about 1-2 years and not much was known. They have not been vaccinated this year. No known issues.
Friendly and been handled regularly with children
Happy for them to go with hutch but it has some damage. They can also have hutch cover if they would like. They have some toys too. They are welcome to their run too.”

They are beauties, hope they find a caring permanent home soon xx

This lovely house rabbit pair need a new home, but an experienced owner will be needed as they will need regular grooming/clipping to keep their long fur in check. Although the boys are in their twilight years, they still have a lot of life yet to live and it will be great to find them a good new home. Here is what owner Kezandra said:
“Our rabbits are Columbus (left) and Winston (right) 6 and 5 years old, they are Lionhead breed and they are fully vaccinated and neutered and in very good health. We are in Swindon.”
