Male · Young · 1 year

MaleApprox 18 months oldArrived with us 25th February (207 days ago)Being looked after in Rode HeathLog number 1721660We realise not everyone is in a position to adopt a companion, so why not take a look at our virtual adoption scheme …..Various animals, around 15, rabbits, dogs large and small breeds, a lizard, a quail loose in kid’s bedroom. All caged, high in faeces, rubbish, filthy blankets so the animals couldn’t move. Social services removed the children as they too were living in a disgusting environment. Ben is one of a trio of rabbits kept in one cage, unneutered, so they would fight, a really awful existence.Ben cautious in new situations and is looking for a quiet female with a calming presence. He likes to throw his toys around for entertainment! Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. June update: Ben has had a dental today, with just a couple of spurs on his bottom teeth.Indoor housing requirement is a minimum of 60 square feet of floor space 24/7.Outdoor housing requirement is a minimum 6ft shed/house or 6 x 2 x 2 hutch with a minimum of 60 sq. feet of secure covered floor space, normally a run and it has to be 3ft in height attached securely to the rabbit house, with ideally but not mandatory, the freedom to a secure garden/alternative area for stimulation; exercise, space and enrichment are most important!Please read this information on suitable accommodation : you’d be interested in sharing your home with Ben please email for an application form.

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a large young adult rabbit waiting at RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton in United Kingdom.

Rabbits are social animals — most shelters recommend adopting them in bonded pairs rather than alone. They need fresh hay daily, several hours of out-of-cage time, and rabbit-safe spaces to explore. They live eight to twelve years, longer than many people expect.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ben, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ben?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ben on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ben if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ben already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most rabbits on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ben isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ben and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
