Probably been asked before, but I am just curious (nosey)... how far would a bunny run be prepared to go and does it depend on the bunny? I know some get stressed so this could lead to GI stasis.... also same thing with piggies? Thanks

I've taken a bunny from Brighton to Preston in a day, no problems at all. 300 miles odd.

We took our old Amile from Nottinghamshire to here with no ill effects. She was in a very fragile state too because of the life we were taking her from. But any illnesses she had were from that, the journey didnt phase her at all

The longest rehoming run I can remember was Arbroath in Scotland to somewhere in Devon...for Mia a dalmation rex.

Snoopy came from Kayj all the way down to Surrey in one day. He was fine and happily munching parsley in the car.
We took two carriers full of 8-week old babies from Northampton to Surrey (they came from Nottingham that day),and they were all fine.
When we took 4 bunnies from Surrey up towards Birmingham, one of them got quite stressed and was rolling her eyes and behaving strangely. She calmed down in her new home, though.
Some bunnies don't travel well, but they are the minority, I think.

The only problem you may have is some rescues will not home to a long distance..I think Hopper Haven only rehome locally:? and most RSPCA centres again only home locally..

I adopted off Hopper Heaven, and I also take in for the RSPCA and I will rehome theirs any distance.

Ahh well my mistake then,, I thought HH only adopted within a certain radius:?
and my RSPCA will not home outside the area..
but looks like you'll have most of the uk to choose from Petticoat

Fantastic!!! As soon as he is recovered from his 'procedure' we will be looking I really fancy another lionhead next or a chocolate dutch, but she will be rescue, so whatever comes along really
