Kaninchen Luna

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

The ca. 2012-born twin goat-hare zipped up with Emily and Kleo to the Animal Life Farm on August 14, 2014. The rabbits were rescued from the association "Hopeful Hands for Animals e.V." from poor husbandry in too small cages. Luna was very curious and friendly and, surprisingly for a flighty animal, enjoyed being stroked. Fresh food seemed unknown to Luna. She would sniff at her food critically but wouldn't eat it. With time, however, she particularly loved tomatoes, cucumbers, bananas, and dandelions. Luna passed away in the morning of December 31, 2017. A few weeks before, she had recovered well from a serious eye operation where her right eye was removed. She had eaten, was lively, and fit. During the morning feeding on December 31, she lay on her side and fell into a kind of coma. I laid Luna on a blanket and stayed with her. After a short time, she peacefully fell asleep forever. Her faithful companion Willi sat by her the entire time. We wish with all our hearts that Luna, wherever she may be now, is well and enjoys her new life to the fullest.

Die ca. 2012 geborene Widder-Häsin zog am 14.08.2014 zusammen mit Emily und Kleo auf den Tierlebenshof. Die Kaninchen wurden vom Verein „Hoffnungsvolle Hände für Tiere e.V.“ aus schlechter Haltung in viel zu kleinen Käfigen gerettet. Luna war sehr neugierig und zutraulich und ließ sich – eigentlich für ein Fluchttier untypisch – gerne kraulen. Frischfutter schien Luna nicht zu kennen. Kritisch beschnupperte sie ihr Futter, wollte es aber nicht essen. Mit der Weile aber liebte sie besonders Tomaten, Gurken, Bananen und Löwenzahn. Luna verstarb am Morgen des 31.12.2017. Ein paar Wochen vorher hatte sie sich von einer schweren Augenoperation, bei der ihr das rechte Auge entfernt wurde, gut erholt. Sie hat gegessen, war munter und fit. Bei der Morgenfütterung am 31.12. legte sie sich auf die Seite und fiel in eine Art Koma. Ich legte Luna auf eine Decke und blieb bei ihr. Nach kurzer Zeit schlief sie friedlich für immer ein. Ihr treuer Gefährte Willi saß die ganze Zeit neben ihr. Wir wünschen uns so sehr, dass es Luna, wo immer sie auch jetzt sein mag, gut geht und sie ihr anderes Leben in vollen Zügen genießt.

About Kaninchen Luna

What life with Kaninchen Luna looks like

Kaninchen Luna is a small senior 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

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 Luna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaninchen Luna?
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 Luna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kaninchen Luna if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierlebenshof Hunsrück-Mosel e.V. 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 Luna 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 Luna 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 Luna 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.
