Adopt Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

If you love big ears or simply prefer larger rabbits, Ferdinand could be the perfect friend for you! Ferdinand is amazing and really caters to true rabbit enthusiasts. He is, as can be clearly seen, a mix of large rabbits. Ferdinand was discovered outdoors by some people and fortunately was secured. He arrived with us emaciated, dehydrated, and quite scruffy. Now, this big guy has been well-fed and is doing quite well. His coccidiosis treatment has just been completed, and he will soon be vaccinated against myxomatosis as well as RHD1+2. Ferdinand is very curious and a roundly funny fellow. We estimate him to be around 1 year old. Ferdinand would like to have at least one more rabbit around him in the future and needs enough space to hop and play. Therefore, his enclosure should not be smaller than at least 8 square meters. We could also envision Ferdinand living in a home where he can hop around in the garden during the day. This garden would, of course, need to be escape-proof fenced. For the night, a marten-proof enclosure should be available – since rabbits are active at dawn and dusk, this area should be appropriately large. We look forward to receiving some telling photos of the new home from interested parties via email:

Wer gerne große Ohren mag bzw. einfach größere Kaninchen liebt, der könnte in Ferdinand den perfekten Freund finden! Ferdinand ist super und lässt für echte Kaninchenkenner eigentlich keine Wünsche offen. Er ist, gut erkennbar, ein Großkaninchenmix. Ferdinand wurde draußen von Leuten entdeckt und konnte glücklicherweise gesichert werden. Abgemagert, dehydriert und recht strubbelig kam er zu uns. Mittlerweile hat der große Kerl fleißig gefuttert und sich schon ganz gut herausgemacht. Seine Kokzidienbehandlung hat er gerade hinter sich gebracht und in Kürze wird er gegen Myxomatose sowie gegen RHD1+2 geimpft. Ferdinand ist sehr neugierig und ein rundum lustiger Kerl. Wir schätzen ihn auf ca. 1 Jahr. Ferdinand möchte zukünftig mindestens ein weiteres Kaninchen um sich haben und ordentlich Platz zum Springen und Flitzen nutzen dürfen. Sein Gehege sollte deshalb nicht kleiner als mindestens 8 qm sein. Wir könnten uns Ferdinand auch durchaus in einem Zuhause vorstellen in dem er tagsüber im Garten herumhüpfen kann. Dieser Garten müsste dann natürlich ausbruchssicher umzäunt sein. Für die Nacht sollte ein mardersicheres Gehege zur Verfügung stehen – da Kaninchen dämmerungs- und nachtaktiv sind, müsste dieser Bereich entsprechend groß angelegt sein. Wir freuen uns, wenn Interessenten uns vorab ein paar aussagekräftige Bilder vom neuen Zuhause per Mail zusenden:

About Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26)

What life with Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26) looks like

Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26) is a small young adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierheim Melle in Melle.

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 Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Melle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Melle 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 Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26) 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 Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26) 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 Melle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ferdinand (Kastraquarantäne bis 11.06.26) 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.
