Description
This is breaking my heart to write this. This is Mongoose. Goose for short. He is a mini-lop rabbit and has been brought back in April 2023 as a 12-week-old from PetsAtHome.   We have recently bought a puppy after we lost our last dachshund pup who co-lived happily with Goose. We were hoping to have the same result again with our newest puppy, but this sadly hasn’t been the case and as a result Goose has been locked away for his safety from him for a month now and it’s just not fair on either of them.   Goose is exclusively a house rabbit and loves being around people and animals. He does go outside on the grass in the warmer weather during the day in an enclosed run and loves this. He has been on a lead and harness but prefers to decide where he goes at his own pace. He is fully toilet trained using litter trays and has free roam of the house. He is used to long car journeys.   He is definitely one of a kind and is so full of character and makes everybody who meets him laugh. Everybody has described him to be more cat like than rabbit like. He loves to follow you all around the house, circling your feet when you stop.   Goose is NOT A CUDDLY RABBIT and DOES NOT LIKE TO BE HELD/PICKED UP. So please keep this in mind if you are seriously considering taking in Goose. We would not recommend Goose at all to families with small children wanting cuddly rabbits as this is not suitable for him. We have tried to train him out of him, but he is so stubborn and unfortunately will always be this way. He is the sweetest rabbit and has never been or have shown any signs of aggression to myself or my partner. He has never bitten us. He does however love to be with you and will approach you on his own terms, unless you have food!   He loves jaw rubs will chatter his teeth when you do this. He will sit and nudge your feet and will will happily sit for hours while he gets head rubs. He will flop out right by your feet. He sort of knows his name and sometimes comes when called. He favourite toys are the big gnaw carrot and the gnaw toys from PetsAtHome.   Mongoose loves company and can see a positive shift in his behaviour when he is around animal company. He has been around dogs his whole life; however, this does not mean that your dog will take to Mongoose if you already have one. We have always monitored them and never left them alone together when we are out the house. We would ideally like for someone who already has a free-roam NEUTERED rabbit to take him in as he thrives on company and has never had a rabbit friend! He has never shown aggression to any animals. We have never tried bonding him with a rabbit but he seems like he would really get on well! He is fed twice a day with pellets and gets a bowl full of a mix of fruit and veg in the afternoon. Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries being his favourites. Unlimited hay and water throughout the day. HE IS NOT NEUTERED and to be truthful never been vaccinated. He’s never showed any signs of illnesses ever. The only reason why I have been putting off listing Goose for rehoming is my fear of him being kept in a cage or hutch outside/inside on his own for the rest of his life. I hope to anyone messaging us about him, that they are being truthful about where he will be kept. I will be asking further questions about this. This is not me being awkward and difficult but simply trying to continue the same standard of living that he is used to and deserves to have. I have added a fee to help give him go to the right people instead of him just being a ‘free rabbit’. He will come with a few bits to help him settle in = food, litter trays, hay, his favourite toys, a carrier and a harness and lead set.   We absolutely adore Goose and this will break our hearts to see him leave us. We really hope we can find the right loving home for him.   Thank you for your time, Oliwia

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).

4

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.
