Eberhard

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Eberhard was surrendered to us because the owner had to end their rabbit keeping due to a move. A few months earlier, he had lost his girlfriend and had been living alone in a free-range apartment since the beginning of the year. He enjoys human contact and likes to lie on the sofa with his caregivers. Eberhard is housebroken and can ideally move back into indoor keeping. It is too cold for him to go outside now, so he will have to wait until next spring for a move outside. However, since he occasionally likes to dig, this form of keeping would also be conceivable for him. Otherwise, he is sociable and likes to explore. He is currently on a diet because he has gained significantly too much weight over the last few months, which he urgently needs to lose. Then please send us an email with information about your current rabbit keeping with corresponding photos. Is there no enclosure yet and are you planning to start rabbit keeping? We are also happy to provide advice and tips and answer your questions. We would be happy to arrange an appointment and show you our rabbits, as well as possible enclosure options and furnishing variants.

Eberhard wurde bei uns abgegeben, weil man die Kaninchenhaltung aufgrund eines Umzuges beenden musste. Einige Monate zuvor hatte er seine Freundin verloren und lebte seit Anfang des Jahres alleine in freier Wohnungshaltung. Er genießt den Menschenkontakt und lag gerne mit seinen Bezugspersonen auf dem Sofa. Eberhard ist stubenrein und kann ideal wieder in Innenhaltung ziehen. Für Außenhaltung ist es ihm jetzt zu kalt, sodass er mit einem Umzug nach draußen bis nächstes Frühjahr warten muss. Da er aber hin und wieder gerne buddelt, wäre auch diese Haltungsform gut vorstellbar für ihn. Ansonsten ist er kontaktfreudig und gerne auf Entdeckungstour. Zurzeit ist er auf Diät, denn er hat in den letzten Monaten deutlich zu viel an Gewicht zugelegt, was er dringend wieder abnehmen muss. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen über deine aktuelle Kaninchenhaltung mit entsprechenden Fotos. Es ist noch kein Gehege vorhanden und du planst mit der Kaninchenhaltung anzufangen? Auch hierfür stehen wir gerne mit Rat und Tipps zur Verfügung und beantworten deine Fragen. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Kaninchen, sowie mögliche Gehegeoptionen und Einrichtungsvarianten.

About Eberhard

What life with Eberhard looks like

Eberhard is a small adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Eberhard, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Eberhard?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eberhard on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Eberhard if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a rabbit can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Eberhard already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a rabbit comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. directly what is included and what Eberhard still needs.
What happens if Eberhard 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 Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eberhard 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.
