Fräulein Silbermann

Female · Adult · 7 years

Miss Silverman came to our shelter with six other rabbits. A total of twelve rabbits were abandoned. Since our capacity is currently fully utilized, we could pass on six of the animals to friendly animal welfare associations. We are very grateful for this support. All the rabbits in the group tested positive for Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi). A positive test does not necessarily mean that an animal is sick or will ever develop symptoms. Nevertheless, future owners should be informed about this finding and deal with the disease.Since the does may have been pregnant when they were taken in, we are taking a precautionary 31-day waiting period before they can move to a new home. However, interested parties are welcome to contact us now.Miss Silverman is currently living with Miss Falkenstein at our shelter. It has become clear that she is a confident and assertive doe who likes to take the lead in socialization. Therefore, we wish for her a socially secure and rather quieter companion animal that will not be disturbed by her confident nature.Health-wise, Miss Silverman has a special feature: Due to an infection with Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi) probably already in the womb, she is almost completely blind. However, this does not restrict her in everyday life. She orients herself excellently in her environment, sets fixed routes and moves safely and actively through her enclosure. Therefore, a clearly designed home is important, where major changes to the furniture are avoided as much as possible so that she can continue to orientate herself safely.Miss Silverman shows every day how well rabbits with visual impairment can cope.

Fräulein Silbermann kam gemeinsam mit sechs weiteren Kaninchen zu uns ins Tierheim. Insgesamt wurden zwölf Kaninchen ausgesetzt. Da unsere Kapazitäten derzeit vollständig ausgeschöpft sind, konnten wir sechs der Tiere an befreundete Tierschutzvereine weitervermitteln. Für diese Unterstützung sind wir sehr dankbar.Alle Kaninchen der Gruppe wurden positiv auf Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi) getestet. Ein positiver Test bedeutet nicht zwangsläufig, dass ein Tier erkrankt oder jemals Symptome entwickelt. Dennoch sollten zukünftige Halter über diesen Befund informiert sein und sich mit dem Krankheitsbild auseinandersetzen.Fräulein Silbermann lebt derzeit gemeinsam mit Fräulein Falkenstein bei uns. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass sie eine selbstbewusste und durchsetzungsfähige Häsin ist, die in der Vergesellschaftung gerne die Führung übernimmt. Für sie wünschen wir uns daher ein sozial sicheres, und eher ruhigeres Partnertier, das sich von ihrer selbstbewussten Art nicht aus der Ruhe bringen lässt.Gesundheitlich bringt Fräulein Silbermann eine Besonderheit mit: Aufgrund einer vermutlich bereits im Mutterleib erfolgten Infektion mit Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi) ist sie nahezu vollständig erblindet. Im Alltag schränkt sie das jedoch kaum ein. Sie orientiert sich hervorragend in ihrer Umgebung, legt sich feste Laufwege an und bewegt sich sicher und aktiv durch ihr Gehege. Wichtig ist daher ein übersichtlich gestaltetes Zuhause, in dem größere Veränderungen der Einrichtung möglichst vermieden werden, damit sie sich weiterhin sicher orientieren kann.Fräulein Silbermann zeigt jeden Tag, wie gut Kaninchen mit einer Sehbeeinträchtigung zurechtkommen können.

About Fräulein Silbermann

What life with Fräulein Silbermann looks like

Fräulein Silbermann is a adult rabbit waiting at BMT Tierheim Arche Noah Stuhr in Germany.

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 Fräulein Silbermann, answered.

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