Name: Thor
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
Breed: Lop rabbit
Ref number: 8
Personality:
Thor is an energetic and sociable boy, who loves running through his tunnels and gnawing his way through a cardboard forage box! He adores his human friends for company, so much that he has been known to give staff & volunteers gentle licks on your hand.
Behaviour:
Thor can be a little reserved around handling at times, but this has improved whilst he’s been in our care. At the centre we have tried multiple attempts to bond Thor with a female rabbit, but unfortunately every time it has resulted in negative behaviours of fighting, particularly initiated by Thor where injuries were sustained. We have had our onsite behaviourist work closely with him, and it has been agreed that it is in Thor’s best interest to rehome him as a single rabbit. Thor also arrived to us as a stray, so there is potential that he previously had bad experiences with other rabbits. From our observations, we know he would thrive with the companionship of his new owners, as he is such a people-bunny! He would require at least one meeting where staff can discuss Thor and his requirements.
Housing:
Due to Thor’s special requirements of needing a single bunny home, we feel he would benefit most from an indoor set up where he can be close to his new human family. But, the option to provide him secure and supervised time outdoors on the grass is desired.
• Rabbits must have a minimum living space of 3 metres long x 2 metres wide x 1 metre high, with 24-hour access at all times.
• Indoor Housing:
• Indoor rabbits must live in a rabbit-proofed environment.
• All electrical wires and cables must be fully protected or hidden.
• Any toxic or unsafe plants must be removed or kept completely out of reach.
• Flooring should be non-slip and comfortable, with safe areas for digging, hiding, and resting.
• Any outdoor accommodation must be fully predator-proof (sheds, aviaries, rabbit runs)
• Wire mesh must be a minimum of 16-gauge thickness.
Sheds must have secure/opening windows to allow for natural light and ventilation.
Children/pets:
Thor can live around other animals, but to be kept separately. He can also live with children of primary school age (5-11 years) and up. Younger children should be supervised when interacting/handling rabbits.
Vet history:
Thor has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated. He has also had a full teeth check and has no current health issues.

We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the rabbits.

Due to the high number of applications we receive daily, regrettably we will only be able to contact the successful applicant.
