Have you looked on locations nearest to you other than kent?I am sure if you found a bunny suitable elsewhere then someone could help you,or try the RSPCA in your area

It seems lie there is a bit of a shortage of girls at the moent. I was searching earlier and it seems like mainly boys. It does rotate though so there will be girls again soon. Try contacting your local rescues to see what they have. What's displayed online is usually just a portion of what's actually available.

Where abouts in Kent are you?
Hi :wave:
It's probably worth ringing a few rescues direct as they don't always list all the buns they have and some don't list them at all.
There is a list of rescues on this link if it's any use only a few have rabbits to view online

Unless there are two Bobtails, then sadly it's not in Sevenoaks. Bobtails www.bobtailsrescue.org.uk is in Ewell near Kingston Surrey.

I have two girls for re-home, one is on rehome now, Ollie and the other, Pumkin is in for spay on Thurs and will go on next weekend. Sadly too far away for Princesscarley though.

Despite not being near you, Bobtails is really worth trying. It would be easy enough to get to from Rainham. Mostly M25.
Delia and Jim have a very large throughput of lovely bunnies and so there would almost certainly be someone there for your bun. Delia does all of the bonding on site so you could express an interest in a few wifeybuns and then take your fella over there (if he travels okay) and she would do the rest for you over a period of days. You could then return when Delia is happy with the bond.
Check out the website. Problem is you'll want to take them all home!

Briar Patch resuce is in Essex but not too far from you, It's at junction 29 of the M25. They have some lovely ladies in and will take care of bonding for you.

If you have already had your bun in the carrier and out in the car with no obvious signs of stress, like overbreathing, then you'll probably find your bun will be fine.

Guess you have to just try it
I find a bit of vetbed, or towel in the carrier helps the bun stop slipping around. Why not take him on a small journey say 10 mins or so and see how he copes. My buns get a bit scared at first but settle down fine

i dont think bunnies like the uncertainty of travelling but do actually travel very well, i find Alvin travels better long distance than the 10 mins up to the vets.... after a while on the motorway i think they get soothed much like how it makes me want to sleep and manage to relax city driving is too stop and start even the dog hates that part of being in a car...

Do you think I should go alone first and check the place out or take him along? (obviously I will call them first)

Yeah Eve will want you to go and see the buns first, then arrange a homecheck, nothing to worry about, someone (maybe me!) will come to yours to see where your bunny lives and have a chat about stuff, then arrange a date for him to go for bonding, he will probably have to stay at the rescue overnight to make sure they are properly bonded
