Kaninchen Joé

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Mama Nunschuk and daughter Nono moved into Irmenach on May 4, 2014, and Papa Joé followed on May 8, 2014. Together with Beauty, Nikolaus, and Mogwai, they moved into the large newly built "Villa Hase" with an extensive, fenced-off run. The family father Joé appears sensible and composed. He is the calm one in the small family (Nono, Nunschuk, Joé). While the women of the family are more curious, Joé has a somewhat serious demeanor. The pretty Nunschuk is forward and seeks the company of Mogwai and Nikolaus, who are happy to oblige. Nono, with her youthful temperament, is the most curious and outgoing of all. Additionally, she is very voracious. Nono will squeeze herself through to get to the food and pick out the "best" pieces. That all the bunnies of the "Rabbit Gang" are neutered is hopefully obvious! On December 12, 2017, we had to say a heavy-hearted goodbye to Joé. He was found dead in the stable for unknown reasons. A respiratory infection a few months earlier had been well tolerated, and he was completely healthy. He had eaten well and enjoyed the time with the other bunnies. On the evening of December 11, 2017, he did not come, as usual, to the food. Lethargically, he nibbled on a parsley stem. I decided to take him to the vet the next morning. When I came to feed them at around 6:30 AM, Joé was already dead. Joé was about 4 1/2 years old, so still relatively young. Even the veterinarians could not explain his death. We hope very much that Joé is now hopping around on the evergreen meadows in the Rainbow Land with many other bunnies.

Mama Nunschuk und Töchterchen Nono zogen am 04. Mai 2014 in Irmenach ein, Papa Joé folgte am 08. Mai 2014. Gemeinsam mit Beauty, Nikolaus und Mogwai zogen sie in die große neu errichtete „Villa Hase“ mit ausgedehntem, abgesichtertem Freilauf. Der Familienvater Joé wirkt vernünftig und besonnen. Er ist in der kleinen Familie (Nono, Nunschuk, Joé) der ruhende Pol. Während die Frauen der Familie eher neugierig sind, hat Joé irgendwie ein etwas ernsthafteres Wesen. Die hübsche Nunschuk ist vorwitzig und sucht die Nähe von Mogwai und Nikolaus, die das auch gerne zulassen. Nono mit ihrem jugendlichen Temperament ist die Neugierigste und Zutraulichste von Allen. Zudem ist sie sehr verfressen. Nono quetscht sich notfalls zwischen den Anderen durch, um ans Futter zu kommen und sich die “besten” Stückchen raus zu suchen. Dass alle Böckchen der „Kaninchen-Gang“ kastriert sind, versteht sich hoffentlich von selbst! Am Morgen des 12.12.2017 mussten wir uns schweren Herzens von Joé verabschieden. Er lag aus unerklärlichen Gründen tot im Stall. Eine Atemwegsinfektion vor einigen Monaten hat er gut überstanden und er war wieder vollkommen gesund. Er hat gut gegessen und die Zeit mit den anderen Kaninchen genossen. Am Abend des 11.12.2017 kam er nicht, wie es üblich ist, gleich zum Futter gelaufen. Lustlos knabberte er an einem Petersilienstengel. Ich beschloss, gleich am nächsten Morgen mit ihm zum Tierarzt zu fahren. Als ich zur Morgenfütterung gegen 6.30 Uhr in den Stall kam, war Joé tot. Joè war ca. 4 1/2 Jahre alt, also noch relativ jung. Auch die Tierärzte konnten sich den Tod nicht erklären. Wir hoffen sehr, dass Joé nun im Regenbogenland auf immergrünen Wiesen mit vielen anderen Kaninchen herumhoppelt.

What life with Kaninchen Joé looks like

Kaninchen Joé is a small young 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 Kaninchen Joé, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaninchen Joé?

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 Joé on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kaninchen Joé 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 Joé 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 Joé still needs.

What happens if Kaninchen Joé 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 Joé 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.
