Bunny & Hoppel

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Bunny and Hoppel came into our care at the end of June. Since they have known and loved each other since birth, we only place them together. Bunny and Hoppel are looking for a suitable home with a large enclosure and daily outdoor time. The minimum requirements for enclosure sizes can be found here. Outdoor housing is ideal for Bunny and Hoppel. It is important to note that Bunny and Hoppel cannot dig their way out and that protection from predators is guaranteed. Shade areas must also be provided. Various hiding places such as sleeping burrows and structural elements for entertainment are essential. As rabbits are not cuddly but observational animals, they prefer to spend time with their own kind rather than with humans. This breed originates from a breeding program. The breeding-related morphological and/or physiological changes can lead to behavioral disorders and are associated with physical suffering and pain for the animals. According to § 11b Animal Welfare Act, breeding such animals is prohibited. Lop rabbits suffer from the consequences of their bent ear canal: they are prone to hearing problems, limited communication with other rabbits, and have a significantly increased risk of ear and dental diseases. Regular veterinary ear and dental examinations, long-term medication therapy, and even ear canal surgery may be necessary. When animals suffer due to their anatomy, it is a breeding program. As advocates for animals, we reject such breeding programs. Pet owners who support such breeding programs act irresponsibly.

Bunny und Hoppel kamen Ende Juni in unsere Obhut. Da die beiden sich von Geburt an kennen und gernhaben, vermitteln wir sie nur gemeinsam. Bunny und Hoppel suchen ein artgemäßes Zuhause mit einer großen Unterbringung und täglichem Freilauf. Die Mindestanforderungen bezüglich der Maße der Unterbringungen finden Sie hier. Die reine Außenhaltung ist genau das Richtige für Bunny und Hoppel. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass Bunny und Hoppel nicht durch ausbuddeln entweichen können und dass Schutz vor Fressfeinden gewährleistet ist. Auch auf Schattenplätze muss geachtet werden. Verschiedene Rückzugsmöglichkeiten wie Schlafhöhlen sowie Strukturelemente zur Unterhaltung dürfen nicht fehlen. Da es sich bei Kaninchen nicht um Kuschel-, sondern Beobachtungstiere handelt, verbringen sie lieber Zeit mit ihren Artgenossen als mit uns Menschen. Diese Tierrasse entstammt einer Qualzucht. Die züchtungsbedingten morphologischen und/oder physiologischen Veränderungen können zu Verhaltensstörungen führen und sind mit körperlichen Leiden und Schmerzen für die Tiere verbunden. Laut § 11b Tierschutzgesetz ist die Zucht solcher Tiere verboten.Widderkaninchen leiden an den Folgen ihres abgeknickten Ohrkanals: Sie neigen zu Hörproblemen, eingeschränkter Kommunikation mit Artgenossen und haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für Ohr- und Zahnerkrankungen. Regelmäßige, tierärztliche Ohr- und Zahnuntersuchungen, eine medikamentöse Dauertherapie bis hin zu Operationen der Gehörgänge können nötig sein. Wenn Tiere anatomisch bedingt leiden, handelt es sich um eine Qualzucht. Als Anwält*innen der Tiere lehnen wir diese ab. Tierhalter*innen, die solche Zuchten unterstützen, handeln unverantwortlich.

About Bunny & Hoppel

What life with Bunny & Hoppel looks like

Bunny & Hoppel is a large young adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bunny & Hoppel, answered.

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