My local Blue Cross (Cambridge) has two male Belgian Hares in at present - they are superb!!

Hercule and TinTin . .

surely someone must want them? Unlikely a suitable family will just walk in off the street as they need special homes - anyone on here wanting two Belgian Hares????

(If the links don't work search on Blue Cross adoption Cambridge and then look at rabbits).

:love: oh if only i could. the OH said the other day that in th new year we could look to get another bun as im so happy when im with them but my 2 are my max. dont want to have to scrimp on thm, i love to spoil them rotten. hope these gorgeous biys get fab homes. belgian hars are the best :love:
 
Can people spread the word about these? I suspect they could go as a pair if someone is prepared to spend the time bonding them - I can ask for more details from the Blue Cross as they are just 500metres away from me!! Whether they came in as a pair etc

The standard rehoming procedures would mean that they might end up in rather less room than they will need unless we can get a home through the rabbity network.

Anyone else got a hare already?.
 
My Boris is a black belgian hare, he is very people friendly, clever and inquisitive, I've read this is a common temperament for belgian hares :love:
 
Weren't there two belgian hares rehomed through here called Herge and Tintin a while ago? Tintin seems to be a popular name for hares anyway!

They are beautiful :love::love:

I think its the Belgian connection . . these have come from an RSPCA case (not just these ones ) to the Blue Cross and very unlikely to be the same ones . .
 
I don't think they make ook house bunnies. I had redge inside for a while there. And he hated it . He couldn't get a proper run about and his legs kept slidding all over the flooring. I would have these two in a minute. If I thought I could bond him with redge and his wife they are specail creatures they have a magical feeling about them. I am sure. He can read my thoughts

I know they're not the same ones, I just thought it was funny they had the same name. I didn't think of the Belgian connection, feel stupid now! :lol::lol:

I guess it's down to the individual rabbit, taking into account Collielovers post about her bun not liking being inside. :) Boris does love being a housebunny, he is on carpet so no sliding on the floor, he does race around very quickly a lot and binkies the most I've seen a rabbit binky! :lol: He follows me round, waits patiently for me outside the bathroom etc :lol: And loves settling down next to me on my chair, he does this for about an hour each night whilst I stroke him and he grooms me, the perfect companion :love: But like I said it depends on the rabbit, as collielovers post above about her belgian hare not liking the housebunny life. :)
 
I wonder if maybe Webble could highlight them as RR's bunnies of the week. Might be worth an ask if you haven't already :)
 
excellent idea - does it matter that they are not in a rescue of mine? I have told the Blue Cross manager I am highlighting them on forums and Facebook and he is very grateful.

No I will feature them as they are special. The Blue Cross dont actually list their buns on the RR site. Is there a reason do you know? Maybe they need a volunteer to do it for them ;)
 
We fostered a Belgian Hare for a short while, although he was more a X breed but definitely Belgian. We took him off a really nice guy who couldn't cope with him. He was living as a house rabbit on hard wood floors and had developed terrible sore hocks, lost all the fur on his rear feet and had sores on all 4 paws. IMO they do not make great house pets unless you have some big open spaces with soft flooring and/or can provide plenty of deep bedding/fluffy blankets etc in areas that bunny likes to rest up. Having a Belgian Hare in terms of foot care is like having a Rex.

On top of the foot issue (they have very narrow slender feet) they need TONS of space and are like lightning. Teshie was a nutter when he was free ranging in our garden, literally the speed of light. :shock: Gorgeous buns, very affectionate, very naughty and very fast! :D
