Adopt Kaninchen Mogwai

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

The spotted Mogwai was 5 years old. Since 2010, he and the white Nicholas had been with us on the farm. Mogwai and Nicholas were supposed to be killed because their fur was intended to be a "decoration" for clothing. But the two were lucky. They belong to the few animals that were rescued so they could keep their fur. Mogwai lived with Nicholas in a stall with enough space. The two were rather shy around people. We accept their natural behavior as that of fleeing animals, since rabbits do not like to be constantly lifted or stroked. This would cause constant stress for the animals. Unfortunately, many rabbits live in small cages and are used as toys. Here, they can simply be rabbits and are respected and cherished as such.

Der gefleckte Mogwai war 5 Jahre alt. Seit 2010 waren er und der weiße Nikolaus bei uns auf dem Hof. Mogwai und Nikolaus sollten sterben, da ihr Fell zur „Zierde“ von Kleidungsstücken vorgesehen war. Doch die beiden hatten Glück. Sie gehören zu den wenigen Tieren, die befreit wurden, damit sie ihren Pelz selbst behalten können. Mogwai lebte mit Nikolaus in einem Stall mit ausreichend Platz. Menschen gegenüber waren die beiden ziemlich scheu. Wir akzeptieren das natürliche Verhalten als Fluchttiere, wenn Kaninchen es nicht mögen, ständig hochgehoben oder gestreichelt zu werden. Dies würde ständigen Stress für die Tiere bedeuten. Leider leben viele Kaninchen in kleinen Käfigen und werden als Spielzeuge benutzt. Hier dürfen sie einfach Kaninchen sein und werden eben als solche respektiert und geschätzt.

About Kaninchen Mogwai

What life with Kaninchen Mogwai looks like

Kaninchen Mogwai 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

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 Mogwai, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaninchen Mogwai?
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 Mogwai on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kaninchen Mogwai 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 Mogwai 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 Mogwai 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 Mogwai 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.
