Mango and Apricot are a neutered male/female bonded pair in Salisbury, and they need a new home. Details below. If you can offer them a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by PM (not comments) and we can go from there. Their owner Kegan said:

“Mango and Apricot are a bonded pair and need rehoming together. Mango is 2/3 and Apricot is about a year old. They’re both neutered. They’ve lived indoors and outdoors, and are happy with either as long as they have plenty of space and interaction. Mango is incredibly friendly and enjoys head rubs, but Apricot needs more time to settle as she is quite anxious around people. They’re both socialised with cats. Reluctant rehoming due to ill health meaning I do not have the finances and energy to keep them.”

Update: Lola is soon to go out on trial as a friend for a lonely neutered male, with enough time to slowly introduce them over a couple of weeks. I will keep this listing “live” until I have confirmation that the bonding has been successful, or will place an appropriate update as required. My thanks to everyone that responded 😊

Lola is a 4 year old neutered female and she needs a new home due to her owner moving abroad. She is up to date with her vaccination, not needing g a booster until December. Ideally it would be good if she can be adopted as a friend for a neutered male, if possible. If you can offer her a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by PM (not comments) and we can go from there.
Her owner Samuel said:

“This is Lola. She is a neutered 4 year old lop female bunny, with a lot of personality. She currently lives both indoors and outdoors, and especially loves running around the garden. She loves coriander and banana. My husband and I are moving abroad at the end of the year, and our one wish is that Lola is rehomed into a loving family, where she can run around outside and have a male companion. Therefore, we are looking to re-home her this summer, to make sure that we have time to ensure that she goes to the correct family and is bonded with a companion. Please note that Lola has previously lived with a female, and we would not recommend this again! She's a lovely little rabbit. Gets on brilliantly with male company with the rabbits we have had in the past. She doesn't like being picked up by humans, but enjoys being stroked and climbing on people.”

Juju and Muji are 3 years old, siblings, and need a new home. They are in Frome. The male is the lionhead, and he is neutered. The female is not spayed, so CottonTails will give £60 towards the neutering costs, payable to the vet who will carry out the procedure. The new owner will arrange this to suit their location and vet preference, and the grant needs to be claimed before the operation. We can also give £40 per bunny to help towards vaccination costs if they are due their boosters.
Both are apparently gentle but they don’t like being picked up very much (very normal for most rabbits).

So lovely and quite near me. No space sadly. Someone will be very lucky.
