Kaninchen Felix

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

On May 25, 2020, the beautiful Felix (born in 2015) moved into our area. Felix was taken in from a lady who repeatedly rescues rabbits from poor husbandry. Unfortunately, it is common for rabbits to be purchased as "toys" for children. They often live in an overly small cage, are fed unhealthy commercial feed, and become listless when their interest wanes. When Felix was taken in by the rabbit protection, he was much too fat. At the Tierlebenshof, we exclusively feed hay, fresh food, and in the summer, of course, plenty of clover, vetch, and other herbs. Very rarely do we give a small, grain-free treat. Felix is a very calm and friendly rabbit. He enjoys his fresh food (he prefers dill and fresh salad) and especially looks forward to clover in the summer.

Am 25. Mai 2020 zog der wunderschöne Felix (geboren 2015) auf dem Tierlebenshof ein. Felix haben wir von einer Dame übernommen, die immer wieder Kaninchen aus schlechter Haltung rettet. Leider ist es so, dass Kaninchen häufig als „Kinderspielzeug“ angeschafft werden. Sie müssen in einem viel zu kleinen Käfig leben, bekommen ungesundes Fertigfutter und vegetieren, wenn das Interesse nachgelassen hat, vor sich hin. Felix war bei Übernahme durch den Kaninchenschutz viel zu dick. Auf dem Tierlebenshof füttern wir ausschließlich Heu, Frischfutter und im Sommer natürlich ganz viel Löwenzahn, Spitzwegerich und weitere Kräuter. Ganz selten gibt es ein kleines, getreidefreies Leckerli. Felix ist ein sehr ruhiges und freundliches Kaninchen. Er genießt sein Frischfutter (Dill und frischen Salat isst er am liebsten) und freut sich im Sommer besonders über Löwenzahn.

About Kaninchen Felix

What life with Kaninchen Felix looks like

Kaninchen Felix is a small adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierlebenshof Hunsrück-Mosel e.V. in Irmenach.

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 Kaninchen Felix, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaninchen Felix?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierlebenshof Hunsrück-Mosel e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kaninchen Felix on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kaninchen Felix 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 Tierlebenshof Hunsrück-Mosel e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Kaninchen Felix 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 Tierlebenshof Hunsrück-Mosel e.V. directly what is included and what Kaninchen Felix still needs.
What happens if Kaninchen Felix 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 Tierlebenshof Hunsrück-Mosel e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kaninchen Felix 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.
