Fred

Male · Adult · 6 years

Our dwarf rabbit Fred is 6.5 years old, vaccinated and neutered. His partner recently passed away. He is now looking for a new home with a female rabbit or a small group. Fred is currently not tame as he is allowed to be a rabbit with us. This means he lives in a large enclosure with plenty of exercise and sleeps at night in a marten-proof hut that houses his stable. With a little time and patience, he can be easily stroked. He eats grass and hay every day, as well as vegetables, lettuce, a few pea flakes and occasionally a small piece of fruit. He misses his partner very much, which is why we would like to place him in his new home as soon as possible, if at all possible. If interested, please contact Sarah Obermann, phone number .

Unser Zwergkaninchen Fred ist 6,5 Jahre alt, geimpft und kastriert. Seine Partnerin ist kürzlich verstorben. Nun sucht er ein neues Zuhause mit einer Kaninchendame oder einer kleinen Gruppe. Fred ist aktuell nicht handzahm, da er bei uns Kaninchen sein darf. Bedeutet, er lebt in einem großen Gehege mit viel Auslauf und schläft nachts in einer Mardersicheren Hütte, die seinen Stall beherbergt. Mit etwas Zeit und Geduld im Gepäck lässt er sich allerdings schnell streicheln. Er frisst neben Gras und Heu jeden Tag Gemüse, Salat, ein paar Erbsenflocken und ab und zu auch mal ein kleines Stückchen Obst. Seine Partnerin vermisst er sehr, weshalb wir ihn am Liebsten zeitnah im neuen Zuhause unterbringen möchten, insofern das irgendwie möglich ist. Bei Interesse gern anfragen bei Sarah Obermann, Telefonnummer .

About Fred

What life with Fred looks like

Fred is a large adult rabbit waiting at Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel 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 Fred, answered.

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