WELLINGTON - Otis: desexed, vaccinated, male Netherland Dwarf cross, approx 3.5 years old
Meet our lovely boy! A friendly, super-social little house rabbit with a big personality, excellent house manners and a serious appreciation for fresh greens!
He’s a small chap, weighing around 1.4kg, and is a mixed breed (Netherland Dwarf cross). He’s desexed, microchipped and receives his annual vaccinations.
He’s been living indoors, is fully house-trained and reliably uses his litter tray. He loves human company, gentle strokes and head rubs, but isn’t keen on being picked up or carried. He much prefers keeping all four paws on the ground!
He sadly lost his bunny wife about a year ago. He’s been happy with human company, but we feel he’d really benefit from a bunny companion again. He’s successfully bonded with another rabbit in the past.
A little about his history: Originally from the SPCA, he suffered a hind-foot fracture as a baby. It’s healed but left him with a slightly unusual ankle, affectionately known as his flipper foot! It doesn’t slow him down – he’s still full of zoomies and binkies and gets around very happily.
His ideal home:
A rabbit-savvy home with plenty of space, enrichment, good-quality hay and daily fresh greens. Ideally indoors, although he could be transitioned to outdoor living with the right secure, weatherproof setup.
Ideally, a suitable female companion, with someone happy to take the time and care needed for successful bonding.
Absolutely no cats. He is very frightened of them. Even an outdoor home would need exceptional protection and be completely out of sight of cats.
Dogs would need careful consideration as we’re unsure how he would react.
No young children. He’s very sociable and loves attention, but a home with adults or older, rabbit-aware children would suit him best as he doesn’t enjoy being picked up.
What’s included?
We’d love to send him off with everything he needs to settle in. His food (hay and pellets), blankets, tunnels, fencing, pet carrier and other rabbit belongings will all go with him.
If you believe you can offer him a safe, loving, and stable home, please send Sally a message Sally.j.murphy@icloud.com 021606222
