New Kit
i tried to rehome 3 male dwarf dutch rabbits on this website without success, have also tried advertising them locally they are now 7 months old and along with the other 3 all have to have seperate cages because they fight or try to mate.they were born by accident - male cage wasnt shut properly while female was out and we didnt realise until it was too late.
i know from reading the forums it is not easy finding new homes but is there anything else i can do to rehome them, anywhere else i can advertise them.

i dont just want to take them to a rescue centre because you never know whats going to happen to them and i'd rather know theyve gone to good homes.

can anyone give me any advice ?

please dont think bad of me for trying to rehome them its just becoming increasingly difficult to look after all the animals we have and its not easy on the finances either.

A good rescue centre will find them an excellent home. However, many good rescues have waiting lists and will also want you to pay for them to take them on - as many good rescues will vaccinate and neuter the rabbits before they go to their new homes.
 
i also have this problem - i rescued 3 rabbits at the begining of May and have still not found them homes.
I did visit a rescue but felt that it was unsuitable
 
Most rescues will find suitable homes for your buns and they certainly wouldn't have them pts if that was along the lines you were thinking. I rescue and yes I do ask for a contribution off the owner as before the bun goes to its new home they are vet checked and if not already vaccinated then they are, same as neuturing or this is stipulated at time of adoption.
 
If you handed your rabbits into this rescue (and probably most) you could rest assured that they would only go to the best possible homes.
We check that any prospective homes have the best accomodation and know the right way to care for rabbits. All rabbits leave here neutered and inoculated.
How many private homings can offer this? We are also able to turn away people who don't offer good enough homes much easier than a private seller.
You may not know the homes they go to but you can be sure they will be good homes.
 
Ditto to all said here really - you'll find most rescues excellent and here the prospective new owner will get sound advice on care and diet and general welfare for the bunnies.

You could also try maybe your local Veterinary Centres - praps do a card or little bunny poster but please check out their future home carefully there are lots of not so nice folks out there too.

Hoping the bunster find loving homes soon.
 
if i do feel the need to take them to/contact a rescue could anybody tell me if there are any locally - halstead/colchester area of essex

thanks j

Yep, I think we can officially say your a really bad influence :lol:
 
rehome

I'm repeating what others say when most of the rescues on here are excellent..but please dont hand them to an RSPCA branch until you're fully familiar with their policy..my local branch does put to sleep healthy animals even though they would not advertise this. :(
most of the rescues on here have loads of recommendations from other rabbit loving forum users! :D If you're local ones are full they may be able to be transported to a further afield one with space.l
