Holly needs a new home! Her owner Joanne has written a detailed piece about her below, so all I need to add is to get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we can go from there. Here is what Joanne said:
“Holly is a beautiful three-year-old female lop-eared rabbit who is looking for a new loving home. She is neutered and up to date with her vaccinations and health checks. She has no health issues but could do with losing a few pounds. We are located to the south of Salisbury but would be happy to transport Holly to her new home. Holly has recently lost her rabbit companion and, sadly, has become lonely. We would therefore love to find her a home where she can enjoy companionship and the attention she deserves. Holly is currently an outdoor rabbit, and ideally we would like to find her a home where she could be bonded with a suitable male rabbit. Alternatively, we would consider a home where she could become a house rabbit, with an owner who has the time, patience and commitment to help her make the transition indoors. We believe Holly may originally have been a house rabbit before we rescued her 2 years ago. She has a lovely, relaxed temperament and is very comfortable around children and our family dog. Above all, we want to find Holly a safe, happy and loving home where she won’t be lonely and can enjoy the companionship and care she deserves. If you think you could offer Holly the right home, please get in touch.” ...
This pair of rabbits need a new home. If you can offer a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we will go from there. Owner Lauren said: “We are located in Stockmoor area Bridgwater and North Petherton. They have some tunnels and toys that can go with them if they find a successful home. Violet (female) • black domestic mix lion head who is neutered and up to date with vaccination and vet health checks and no health issues. • RSPCA rescue around 5-6 years old now rescued in 2021 • amazing personality, adventurous and loves to eat all food and can hand feed her. But does not like being picked up. • independent girl but loves her companion Alba
Alba (male) • netherland dwarf • RSPCA rescue around 3-4 years old now • personality of an old man and likes to be left alone to do his own thing. He doesn’t like being approached during feeding or cleaning time and will run away, however once picked up he quite enjoys the cuddles. • enjoys laying in the sunshine and eating Timothy hay • up to date with vaccinations, health checks etc. no health issues. • would rather chill inside sunbathing alone than join Violet running around the garden!” ...
This pair of neutered sisters are needing a new home - they are in Limply Stoke, Bath. Their owner Eloise has provided full details about them, so do have a read. If you can offer a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we will go from there. Eloise said: ”Their names are Beano (black with small white dot on nose) and Boosh (all black). Both female (litter sisters), born June 2021 and both neutered in Nov 2021 Neutered in Nov 2021. Their annual jabs are due in Sept so I’m taking them for those next week. Apart from that, all vacs are up to date. Generally speaking in good health. Neither of them are on any meds. Boosh is losing a bit of hair from her back - we’ve had this treated and checked by the vet and they’ve examined under a microscope but couldn’t see any mites. It started last winter when there was a prolonged period of rain (so they didn’t really leave their hutch) and has improved over the summer months when they’ve been outside and had more space. Our theory is that either Boosh is doing it to herself or Beano is doing it to her - either way, I wonder if it’s a sign that they are possibly bored or underoccupied? (Admin edit - probably due to the sister mounting her) They are kept outside in a hutch with an attached run and tunnels. They have been inside for short periods (eg following being neutered and when weather has been very cold) so they are used to it. They have quite different personalities but get on well. Beano has always seemed a bit hormonal to me - she definitely gets quite antsy in the Spring, and when she was younger she would always be the one to dig. I always felt she wanted a more exciting life and found her sister a bit frustrating and dull at times? She often tries to mount Boosh - much more so when they were younger, but she still does it from time to time, especially if she’s excited or there’s interesting food around. I would say she is the dominant sister. Boosh is definitely more chilled out and placid, and is happy as long as there’s plenty of food. They are both friendly and interested in what’s going on but have become nervous around humans due to lack of regular interaction. They are happy to be hand fed or stroked but no longer keen on being picked up. We have a double storey hutch but it’s now 5 years old and not in the best condition especially after a house move. We also have an Omlet rabbit run and some lengths of tunnel/tube that connects to the hutch. I would be happy for all of this to go with them. “ ...
