Rabbits

Meet Sharon

Sharon

Female

5 years

Sharon is a lively and sociable rabbit, neutered, aged 5 years, who is looking for a new home and rabbit companion. 

Sharon loves a cuddle and loves to play. She doesn’t always go for toys designed for chewing, and instead mostly plays by running jumping on top of things and digging (or maybe chewing things that weren’t designed for chewing!). Sharon loves to cuddle as well, and will come up and nuzzle up to you to let you know she wants pets. 

Like many rabbits, Sharon is very food motivated. She loves to nibble on herbs, and her favourite is basil. If there is a banana in the room Sharon will do her best to get a bite of it. She’ll run away with her favourite treats to make sure you don’t steal them from her. She isn’t fussy and gets excited about any rabbit-safe treats.

Sharon is a healthy and active rabbit, and has had no major health issues. She had her molars trimmed at the vet’s because she was chewing more on one side of her mouth than the other, but this hasn’t been a recurring issue. She also experienced sore hocks several years ago, which also was resolved after changing the space and adding more cushioned places to rest.

She needs a new rabbit companion, and will make a lovely friend for a rabbit and their person!

Key basic requirements

If you want to apply to adopt rabbits, please ensure you have the following:

To consider you as a rabbit adopter we require you to meet these welfare standards as a minimum. We are happy to advise on set-ups, diet, enrichment and just about anything else before you dive into buying new things for you rabbits. 

Please remember that pet shops and generally poorly informed and put profit before animal welfare so accept their guidance with cation. Often, their cages marketed as ‘extra large’ are below even the basic minimum welfare requirements. 

Even if you have kept rabbits before, please take a read through our rabbit care information page linked below as welfare standards improve often.
