Bugsy

Male · Adult · 3 years

Support and Health Do I have any medical conditions? None Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? Yes Can I live with cats? Yes Can I live with small pets? Yes Additional information As with all small pets, rabbits will need to be housed securely away from any other pets in the home. All of our single rabbits are waiting to mix with owned pets. Please only apply for them if you already have a rabbit who is in search of a new friend. If you currently do not have any rabbits in your care and would like to rehome, please check the pairs/groups we have available. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Rabbits do enjoy the companionship of humans and can become very affectionate and enjoy taking tasty fresh forage from your hands. Rabbits do not enjoy being handled and they can find loud noises and sudden movement scary, so they are often suited to families with slightly older children. Bugsy wont take too long to settle into his new home, and he will be showing you his wonderful personality from the get go! What type of environment would suit me? Rabbits need lots of space to keep them fit, healthy and happy, the ideal outdoor accommodation for a pair should consist of either a shed/wendy house or a 1.8m (6ft) single level hutch, attached to a 3m long by 2m wide by 1m high run. Alternatively, the ideal indoor accommodation for a pair should consist of a large room that the rabbits can have 24hr access to, plus daily access to other areas in the home, as well as a secure run to use outdoors in the garden in the warmer months. It’s important they are able to hop, stretch up and jump on to things to express their natural behaviours. Extra padded flooring is a must for Bugsy and his hocks, he will need a home that can provide him with this. Discover the perfect care tips for rabbits in our About Bugsy Bugsy is a beautiful boy full of curiosity, just waiting to meet his perfect bunny friend. Bugsy loves a head rub in the morning and is a happy little helper when it comes to cleaning his unit. He is a confident boy, who really does enjoy spending time with anyone who dares look at his beautiful face! He is going to make a really lovely companion for his new family. Being a rex rabbit, Bugsy has had trauma to his hocks from his previous living conditions, but since being with us and having access to lots of soft flooring they have healed really nicely. A family that can provide Bugsy with not only love, but giving him extra soft and padded flooring, which can be achieved from giving vet bed along with a thick layer of hay all over the floor, will give him a very happy life that he really does deserve. If you are able to offer this wonderful little boy a home, please do get in contact via the website. Things to note Is your rabbit looking for a companion? As well as rehoming bonded pairs we help to find companions for single rabbits. We offer an onsite mixing service and can support with mixes taking place in the home. To find out more about our mixing service We do have other single rabbits but as the demand for mixing can be high, sometimes these pets are matched with customers already on the waiting list. If you are looking for a companion for your rabbit, please complete the registration form and we will be happy to discuss the next steps with you.

About Bugsy

What life with Bugsy looks like

Bugsy is a large adult rabbit waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity 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.

Note from the shelter: Must be housed with another rabbit - requires companion rabbit for mixing

🇬🇧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 Bugsy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bugsy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Woodgreen Pets Charity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bugsy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bugsy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Woodgreen Pets Charity 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 Bugsy 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 Bugsy 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 Woodgreen Pets Charity early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bugsy 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.
