Hello from Newbie

Pleased to have discovered this forum this evening.

I have kept pet rabbits for most of my life, but sadly lost my last french lop about 18 months ago - I have now decided that rather than to go a breeder I will offer a home to animal(s?) in need - have an assortment of animals on my smallholding and in winter months rabbits would be kept in my hay barn/tack room, and in good weather there is plenty of outdoor space for 4 legged friend to roam safely. I could offer a home to 1 - 3 rabbits provided they are bonded, or rabbit with a guinea pig. I feel passionately about rabbits needing freedom to roam so would ensure any rabbit was not kept caged in a cramped environment.

My preference is to home a giant rabbit - our 4 rescue cats are were very good with our french lop, but I am not sure if they would be so good with a smaller bun. However if there is a small bun desperately in need of a home I could accommodate it safely in an enclosed run where it would be safe should the cats pay it too much attention.

Having in the past owned a vicious rabbit, I must stipulate that any rabbit I have must be good tempered due to grandchild visiting.

I am located on the Devon/Somerset border but prepared to travel a reasonable distance for the right animal

I am a hobby breeder/exhibitor of poultry and ducks and in the past been involved in rescueing hens due for slaughter - if you think I may be able to offer a suitable home to your bunny you can get an idea of the home I can offer on www.brbpoultry.co.uk (I have no intention of breeding from any rescued rabbit)
 
:wave: Hope you find a suitable bunny to love, hope you enjoy the forum, lots of pictures are compulsory when you adopt one :lol: Just joking best of luck :wave:
 
Welcome :wave:

Rabbits really shouldn't be housed with guinea pigs. Rabbits have been known to kick a guinea pig and kill it. It's not just that but they both require such a differn't diet too. It would be impossible to see who gets what.

Two spayed does and a neutered buck would be ideal :D A local rescue will probably have loads in

Errrr.... No.... it is standard practice to post piccies!!! that's because we all demand them! :lol::lol::lol:
 
Thanks for the advice re the rabbit/guinea pig pairing - as I had kept together when I was a child I had not realised there could be a problem, also my neighbour keeps 2 rabbits and pigs together - ho hum, I do love guineas though so may have to think about where I could accommodate guinea pigs separately!
 
Awww I think there is rescue guineau's available aswell, maybe a separate sectioned off run with their own hutch would do it, I am sure the rescue could advise. It's great your rescuing some :D
