Blue

Female · Young · 1 year

Blue requires an appropriate indoor environment due to a chronic sniffle, although her condition is now well treated. She needs fellow animals and can therefore either move in with another rabbit or join existing fellow animals. Since she is not neutered, any existing males must also be neutered. We wish for our rabbits a varied, well-structured living environment with people who enjoy keeping and feeding rabbits in an appropriate manner. For rabbits, it is important to base their diet on hay, vegetables, herbs, and grass to ensure they live a healthy long life and reach their natural lifespan of 8-10 years. Rabbits are not cuddly toys; rather, one should enjoy observing them in an appropriately designed environment.

Blue benötigt aufgrund eines chronischen Schnupfens eine artgerechte Innenhaltung, ansonsten ist ihre Erkrankung inzwischen gut behandelt. Sie benötigt Artgenossen und kann daher entweder mit einem anderen Kaninchen zusammen ausziehen oder zu bereits vorhandenen Artgenossen umziehen. Da sie nicht kastriert ist, müssten vorhandenen Männchen unbedingt kastriert sein. Wir wünschen uns für unsere Kaninchen ein abwechslungsreiches, gut strukturiertes Gehege bei Menschen, die Freude daran haben Kaninchen artgerecht zu halten und zu füttern. Bei Kaninchen sollte auf Heu, Gemüse, Kräuter und Gräser als Nahrungsgrundlage zurückgegriffen werden, damit sie gesund alt werden können und ihre natürliche Lebenserwartung von 8-10 Jahren erreichen. Kaninchen sind keine Kuscheltiere, man sollte vielmehr Freude an der Beobachtung in einem artgerecht gestalteten Umfeld haben.

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Witten in Witten.

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 Blue, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blue?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Witten handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Blue on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Blue if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Witten 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Blue 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 Blue 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 Tierheim Witten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Blue 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 (DE). 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.
