We have a beautiful rabbit available for adoption to a very good home only. He’s called Bo-Bo and is a pretty colour, white with grey and mottled markings. Bo-Bo has been vaccinated and neutered, he is a friendly chap and likes to be sociable and make friends. Rabbits need a lot of space for exercise, keeping them in a hutch all the time is not acceptable and is unkind.
They need room to run and play, letting them out in the garden is fine so long as it is safe. A large pen is good and if it has benches and hutches to jump on and off that is even better. Rabbits love to get up high and are good jumpers. They need the exercise and lots of play items such as tunnels. A space to dig is good if you can manage to provide it – just watch they don’t tunnel out though!
Rabbits are intelligent and gentle, they need regular companionship in order to stay tame. Taking Bo-Bo a nice dish of treats is a good way to gain his approval.
It’s important to provide clean water, a stone water dish is best and change the water at least once a day, twice is better. The drinkers to hang on the pen are dangerous because the water soon goes stale in them, it becomes discoloured and algae appear. It’s difficult to keep them clean. If a rabbit drinks this discoloured water he will become ill and may die.
If you’d like to come and meet Bo-Bo please get in touch.
