“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. Eligible rabbit owners seeking support with neutering and vaccinating their rabbits can find our more on Bristol A.R.C.’s website here: Outreach Clinics “

This neutered brother/sister pair are in Bridgwater, Somerset, and they need a new home. Their owner is willing to travel a reasonable distance to take them to the right home. As they have long fur, an experienced home will be best as they will need regularly grooming and trimming to keep their fur in check. If the new owner would like to bring them to me initially I can give them a thorough groom to get them started, but this will need to be maintained very regularly so you would need to be confident in handling rabbits.
They need vaccinating, so CottonTails will give £50 towards each vaccination, payable to the vet who will carry out the procedure. This must be paid in advance, and would be arranged by the new owner to take into consideration vet preference and location.
If you can offer them a suitable, permanent home where they will have lots of room to run around safely, get in touch by DM (not comments please) and we will go from there. Their owner Sara has said:
“Ashleigh and Olaf are brother and sister, born 4th June 2021 so they will be 5 years old this year. Both have been neutered and last had injections 2023.
They live outside in half a converted shed and are allowed to free roam during the day and go to bed at night. Due to their long fur they do need regularly grooming and clipping especially around Olaf’s bottom, he doesn’t seem to mind this and is ok with the clippers but you need someone to cradle him while you do it. They don’t like being caught but once you cuddle them in they are fine. They will happily hop up if you are in the garden especially with a treat!
I live in Somerset but would be happy to deliver just to have them rehome with someone who has more time for them. They live in a shed so I don’t have any equipment that can go with them.”

Update: he is now reserved but I will post any updates here if anything changes.
Sylvester needs a new home. He is 19 months old and is in Southampton. In addition to the attached films, you will find photos of him further down this Facebook page in a separate entry. As he is currently a house bunny, he can't be put outside until Spring. He is not neutered, so CottonTails will give £80 towards his castration, payable to the vet who will carry out the procedure. This must be paid in advance of the operation, and will be organised by the new owner to take into account their vet preference and location. If you can offer a suitable, permanent home, get in touch by DM (not comments, please), and we will go from there. His owner Kirsty said:
"This little man is Sylvester, he’s a mini lop, and his birthday is the 17th of May 2024. I’ve had Sylvester from when he was just 10 weeks old.
Sylvester is a very loved rabbit, but sadly, due to certain circumstances, I’ve had to make this tough decision to rehome him. This has not been easy for me. Sylvester is an indoor rabbit. He has a cage inside the home where he has his litter tray and hay, but this is always left open for him to come and go as he pleases 🙂 Sylvester doesn’t really chew anything, but it's still best to bunny-proof things just in case.
When the weather is warm, Sylvester loves spending time in the garden. He has a run for this, and he really enjoys his time outside, munching on the grass.
Sylvester eats (Timothy hay) pets at home brand, and he seems to enjoy this. He also eats Burgess Excel nuggets once a day, just two tablespoons in the morning.
Sylvester continuously eats hay throughout the day. But he also has a small amount of greens, his favourites are herbs coriander, mint, and dill. He also occasionally likes a small piece of banana and a strawberry, but I always give him fresh hay as his main diet.
Sylvester is very out there. He is not shy at all, loves a brush, loves nose scratches and is very friendly. He is used to dogs and runs around with them inside the home 🙂
I’d love Sylvester to go to someone who will love him like I do, as he really is a lovely rabbit and deserves the best. If you feel you could give him the home he deserves, please do get in contact with the rescue. Thank you."
