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. “

We are quiet on the rehoming front currently, but I know I will soon be inundated with rehome requests once the weather really turns wintery. In the meantime, I have been spending a bit of time trying to improve the mobile version of the CottonTails website (www.cottontails-rescue.org.uk) I want it to be a really useful user-friendly resource centre where owners and potential owners can look up topics with ease and (hopefully) find the answers to their questions.
Here is where you step in! I am looking for a few willing volunteers to go on their phones, iPads etc and have a look at the website, and get back to me with constructive views of what works well and what could be improved. The desktop version generally works well, although the link between the Facebook page and website regarding animals available has been very unreliable due to a fault at the FB end, so this is something we are aware of and are actively trying to find a solution. This applies to the mobile version too.
Your constructive ideas and thoughts would be very much appreciated, and also if you can think of any new related topics, let’s have those ideas too.
No organisation can stand still in today’s world, and CottonTails is no exception. Together we can make this a great information resource that we can all be proud of 😊
