“We are very pleased to be joining forces with Bristol Animal Rescue Centre (Bristol A.R.C.) to improve rabbit welfare in Bristol and the surrounding area. We will be providing funding to Bristol A.R.C. to cover the cost of neutering rabbits through Bristol A.R.C.’s outreach services.

This bonded pair of free roaming house bunnies are in Bristol, and they need a new home. They are in their twilight years but still have lots of living to do! If you can offer a suitable permanent free roam house bunny home, get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we will go from there. Here is what their owner has said:
“The male is called Floyd, he is a sable fox aged 8 years and is a Netherlands dwarf. The female is called Jasper, aged 7. Both are neutered and vaccinated - all up to date They are free roaming indoor rabbits.
I am happy to travel and drop off as long as they go to a loving home. They will come with new litter trays and bowls.” 😃

Update: amazingly she has found a new home already!

Bella needs a new home! She is in Devizes and is almost 3 years old. As she is not neutered or vaccinated, CottonTails will pay £60 towards her spay and £40 towards her vaccination, 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.
She is actively nesting so will definitely benefit from reduced hormones!
Once she has recovered from her spay, it would be good to give her a chance to bond with a neutered male, as she has been successfully bonded to a neutered male bunny friend before.
If you can offer a suitable, permanent home for Bella, get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we will go from there.
Owner Leanne said:
“Bella will be 3 on November 21st this year. She is not neutered as the male was neutered.
She runs free in my house and garden, and MUST NOT be caged!!! She would be SO depressed 😔 she likes wires unfortunately, not massively cuddly, but loves being outside doing her own thing. She just has 2 litter trays for night time when she's in the house, she has a soft bunny house bed, but she's not bothered by it, she sleeps under my dinning table on the carpet- she's a simple girl.
I'm just in Devizes.”
