Description
I’ve got 2 rabbits born approximately 30/04/23. We were sold them as mini lion lops but they’re more of a mini lion/mixed breed as their ears aren’t lopped and they’re losing their little manes as they get older.
We absolutely adore each of them, but with an already busy home and a new pregnancy, having two cages inside my front room is no longer an option I can consider. Rehoming these rabbits is a hard decision on us and this isn’t their fault, but we can’t give them what they need anymore and want nothing but the best for them!
- Male (Thumper) is fully grey. He is very calm and collected. He loves a cuddle.
- Female (Bambi) is brown and white. She is really anxious which has stemmed from being around so many males. She cannot be caged with other rabbits at any point, and will likely benefit from being in a child and animal free home with someone who has patience and knowledge of rabbits.
I can send Bambi with her cage but it is no longer in perfect condition which is to be expected.
I’m also happy to provide some of their usual food/hay/bedding, and can tell you the names of everything we use for them if you’d like to continue using our brands for consistency.
These rabbits are indoor rabbits, Thumper is used to children, a hyper border collie and two house cats, but as mentioned above, Bambi will likely be better without - although she has been around it since 5 weeks.

Buyer's checklist for rabbits
1
Be responsible, do your research first
Getting rabbits is a massive commitment, so make sure you have researched all of their general needs, and those specific to their breed fully and have the time and commitment necessary to care for the rabbits. You can read our detailed information guide about rabbits for potential new rabbit owners. If you are looking for a rabbit to keep your rabbit company remember that they will both need to be neutered and that a male / female pair works best. Rabbits are a long term commitment as they can live up to 10 years.
2
Rabbits need a friend and space
Rabbits should never be kept alone, they need the company of other (neutered) rabbits. They need space to stand, hop, jump and run, and safe places for hiding. The absolute minimum space required 24/7 for up to 2 average sized rabbits is area 3m x 2m x 1m high.
3
Health check & welfare
It can be difficult for the average person to check if a rabbit is healthy or not. The seller should be willing to let you take the rabbit to a vet of your choice for a health check and return the pet within 48 hours for a full refund if there are health issues. If the rabbit has already been health checked, make sure you have this documented and phone their vet. Also remember rabbits need to be neutered so that they can live with other rabbits, and vaccinated annually to protect them against myxomatosis and RVHD1 and 2. Register with a rabbit friendly veterinary Practice. We would advise that you read the following article containing rabbit care and welfare information provided by the Rabbit Welfare Association and Fund (RWAF).

Report, don’t support!
If you believe a rabbit may be subject to irresponsible breeding, do not “rescue” the rabbit by rehoming it. Walk away and report the seller to us immediately.
5
Rabbits must be 8 weeks when collected
Rabbits must be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before they can leave their mothers. Most responsible sellers will keep their rabbits longer than this before they let them go to new homes. Make sure you take some of the food with you so you can change over to your own food gradually.
