Karin und Kermit

Mixed Breed · Male

Note: All will only be rehomed in an appropriate manner. This means that both Karin (far left) and Kermit (far right) were born in 2020 and came to us because their owner wanted to stop caring for them. Both came from (quality) breeding. Both are middle-aged so-called rams. Typically, both were not really fit: they were overweight, had a so-called Otitis media (middle ear infection), and a retrograde elongation (which nowadays almost all rabbits have). Additionally, Karin showed behavioral abnormalities (excessive aggression), which always makes us pay attention. The vet check confirmed our suspicions (ears, teeth, uterus) and so we started a comprehensive renewal for the two of them. Karin is now fully rehomed, Kermit will be rehomed from mid-July. Since the surgery, Karin has become much more relaxed and enjoys her life. Kermit and she need one dose of pain medication per day because the retrograde elongation cannot be reversed. But they manage well and can at least eat normally. Kermit is less approachable but that will improve. This is mainly because we currently bother him three times a day, and he simply doesn’t like that. Both are typically quieter in behavior but still enjoy the grass. The ideal home: Karin und Kermit were together their whole lives but don’t have to stay together. They get along great, but Karin benefits from a larger group, while it strongly depends on Kermit’s fellow animals. Sovereign but unobtrusive, young ones or quiet company would work well. Kermit is one of the animals for which we also envision a pair housing. An outdoor home would be a dream. The two don’t need much mental stimulation. People are nice, but the two also do their own thing – independently of us. Karin und Kermit are simply a nice, pleasant, unobtrusive company.

Hinweis: Alle werden nur in artgerechte Haltung vermittelt. Das bedeutet bei diesen beiden Karin (ganz links) und Kermit (ganz rechts) wurden 2020 geboren und kamen zu uns, weil ihre Halterin mit der Haltung aufhören wollte. Beide stammen aus der (Qual-)Zucht. Beide sind mittelalte sog. Widder. Typisch Widder waren beide nicht wirklich fit: Sie waren übergewichtig, hatten eine sog. Otitis media (Mittelohrentzündung) und eine retrograde Elongation (wobei das inzwischen fast alle Kaninchen haben). Zusätzlich dazu zeigte Karin Verhaltensauffälligkeiten (übersteigerte Aggressivität), was uns immer gleich hellhörig werden lässt. Der Tierarztcheck bestätigte unsere Vermutungen (Ohren, Zähne, Gebärmutter) und so starteten wir eine Rundumerneuerung der beiden. Karin ist ab sofort, Kermit ab Mitte Juli vermittlungsbereit. Seit der OP ist Karin sehr viel entspannter und genießt ihr Leben. 1x/ Tag benötigen Kermit und sie ein Schmerzmittel, da die retrograde Elongation nicht mehr rückgängig gemacht werden kann. Aber damit kommen sie wunderbar klar und können wenigstens normal fressen. Kermit ist weniger zugänglich aber das gibt sich wieder. Das liegt v.a. daran, dass wir ihn aktuell 3x/Tag nerven müssen und das mag er einfach nicht. Beide sind widdertypisch eher ruhig im Verhalten aber genießen die Wiese trotzdem. Das ideale Zuhause: Karin und Kermit waren ihr gesamtes Leben zusammen aber müssen nicht zusammen bleiben. Sie verstehen sich super aber Karin profitiert von einer größeren Gruppe, während es bei Kermit stark auf den Artgenossen ankommt. Souverän aber unaufdringlich, Jungtiere oder ruhige Gesellschaft würde gut klappen. Kermit ist eines der Tiere, für das wir uns aber auch eine Paarhaltung vorstellen können. Außenhaltung wäre ein Traum. Viel Beschäftigung brauchen die beiden nicht. Menschen sind nett aber die beiden machen auch ihr eigenes Ding – unabhängig von uns. Karin und Kermit sind einfach eine nette, angenehme, unauffällige Gesellschaft.

About Karin und Kermit

What life with Karin und Kermit looks like

Karin und Kermit is an adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierheim Landkreis Freising in Germany.

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 Karin und Kermit, answered.

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