Diamond

admin

Name: Diamond
Breed: Medium-sized mixed breed
Sex: Female (neutered)
Age: Approx DOB April 2023
Status: Available for adoption from 06/12

Diamond came into our care as her previous humans couldn’t provide a safe living environment for her. She has now been spayed, fully vaccinated (incluing yuravac) and microchipped.

Diamond is a lovely rabbit, who is friendly and nosey once she’s settled into her surroundings. She is an incredibly neat toileter – everything goes in one spot in her litter tray, and she’s a good hay eater too!

Diamond needs a home with at least one other neutered and vaccinated rabbit. She will be ready for bonding from 6th December.

Minimum housing requirements: Permanent 24/7 access to an enclosure at least 3x2m. This must be bunny-proofed and predator proof.

Adoption fee: Minimum donation of £80

Please read our rabbit adoption policy and rabbit advice pages prior to applying to adopt.

Apply to Adopt

Companionship
Rabbits are highly social animals, so we do not adopt out rabbits to live alone. We can assist with bonding for rabbits being adopted from us to join an existing rabbit, and support and advice after taking your rabbits home will always be available, with full rescue back-up provided should any bonds fail.
Rabbits adopted from us will be neutered and fully vaccinated against Myxomatosis, RHD1 and RHD2. If you are adopting a rabbit as a companion for an existing rabbit, they must also be neutered and fully vaccinated against Myxomatosis, RHD1 and RHD2.

Housing
An average sized pair of rabbits will need permanent 24/7 access to a minimum of 3x2m of space. Space for indoor bunnies must be rabbit-proofed, and outdoor enclosures must be predator-proofed. Please visit our housing pages for more advice and examples of suitable housing: https://www.tinypawsmcr.org.uk/advice/rabbits/

Diet
The majority of a rabbit’s diet must be hay/grass (85%), to promote digestive and dental health, so a supply of good quality hay or grass should always be available. For indoor bunnies, we highly recommend growing grass in trays or picking grass to feed. 10% of a rabbits diet should be made up of fresh leafy greens/fresh wild forage (ideally the latter!). A list of safe fresh foods is available via the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund. Muesli style dried food should never be fed, and most healthy adult rabbits don’t require pellets providing they eat plenty of hay and are fed a variety of safe greens/forage. If pellets are fed, only a very small amount should be provided.

Please read our advice pages for more info on diet: https://www.tinypawsmcr.org.uk/advice/rabbits/

Adoption Fees
Our adoption fee for a single rabbit is £80, and for a bonded pair £120, to help cover the costs of caring for the animals at Tiny Paws MCR. This does not cover neutering & vaccination costs (in the region of £200-250 per rabbit), so if you are able to donate more we would really appreciate it.
Adopters must be age 18+.

We can provide up to 7 days of initial bonding for adopters adopting a rabbit/rabbits to join their existing rabbit(s). We use the 24/7 neutral space method, which we find to be the safest and least stressful. We make no guarantees about any bond and are led by the individual rabbits’ behaviour indicating whether each pairing/grouping is a good match. Adopters will need to be prepared to continue the bonding process on return home after the 7 days, following our advice and guidance. 

There is currently no set charge for bonding, however we suggest a minimum donation of £10 per day per rabbit to cover the costs of caring for your rabbit(s) during their stay. Bonding is incredibly time consuming and resource-heavy (tonnes of hay and forage used!).
