Kaninchen

Female · Baby · 4 months

Ida, a very shy female rabbit who does not want any contact with humans. Due to her past, she unfortunately trusts no one anymore. Just like Sakura, she came to us as a result of official custody and was only a month old when she became a mother for the first time in her life. This new responsibility brought a lot of stress and suffering: Ida carried the RHD2 virus in her and passed it on to her puppies. Four of her five babies died within the shortest time. Her only daughter, now three months old, remains and is also searching for a loving home. Anyone who wants to provide Ida with a home must really bring patience, time, and calm, which is why she is not rehomed to small children. Those interested should contact us with photos and measurements of their rabbit enclosure.

Ida, eine extrem schüchterne Kaninchendame, die keinen Kontakt zum Menschen haben möchte. Durch Ihre Vergangenheit vertraut sie leider nix und niemanden mehr. Genau wie Sakura kam sie kam als behördliche Sicherstellung zu uns und wurde nur einen Monat später zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben Mutter. Diese neue Verantwortung brachte viel Stress und Leid mit sich: Ida trug das RHD2-Virus in sich und übertrug es auf ihre Welpen. Vier ihrer fünf Babys verstarben innerhalb kürzester Zeit. Zurück blieb ihre einzige Tochter, die inzwischen drei Monate alt ist und ebenfalls auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause ist. Wer Ida ein Zuhause bieten möchte, muss wirklich Geduld, Zeit und Ruhe mitbringen, weshalb sie nicht zu kleinen Kindern vermittelt wird. Wer Interesse hat meldet sich unter mit Fotos und Maße vom Gehege.

About Kaninchen

What life with Kaninchen looks like

Kaninchen is a puppy/kitten rabbit waiting at Tierheim Elmshorn in Elmshorn.

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 Kaninchen, answered.

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