Little Fighter Seeks His Forever HomeThis little dwarf ram was born on March 19 and didn't have an easy start in life. He arrived with his family in very poor general condition, and unfortunately, he was the only male in his litter. The veterinary examination revealed crooked and misaligned teeth, a severe deficiency in vitamins and calcium, and as a result, an impaired gait. Moreover, the little guy was alarmingly thin.Meanwhile, he’s being lovingly nursed back to health and is already making initial progress. His teeth have been corrected by a veterinarian, and he’s receiving the necessary care to address his deficiencies. His vet is confident that with proper care and nutrition, he’ll make a full recovery.Despite his difficult beginnings, he’s a lovable little dwarf ram who now deserves the chance for a happy rabbit life.As soon as his health allows, he’d love to move into an experienced home with plenty of rabbit-savvy people. A prerequisite is species-appropriate housing with ample space and at least one compatible rabbit companion—single housing is definitely out of the question for him.If you’d like to give this little fighter the opportunity for a fresh start with patience, love, and expertise, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.Note on Rabbit Placement:Before submitting an inquiry, please carefully read our placement conditions for small animals.All our rabbits have undergone veterinary examinations and are vaccinated. As a rule, fecal tests have also been conducted.The rams are too young for a DVT (dental radiograph).

Kleiner Kämpfer sucht sein Für-immer-ZuhauseDieser kleine Zwergwidder wurde am 19.03. geboren und hatte keinen leichten Start ins Leben. Er kam mit seiner Familie in einem sehr schlechten Allgemeinzustand zu uns und war leider das einzige Männchen seines Wurfes. Bei der tierärztlichen Untersuchung wurden schiefe und fehlgestellte Zähne, ein ausgeprägter Vitamin- sowie Kalziummangel und dadurch bedingt ein schlechtes Gangbild festgestellt. Außerdem war der kleine Mann erschreckend dünn.Inzwischen wird er liebevoll aufgepäppelt und macht bereits erste Fortschritte. Seine Zähne wurden tierärztlich korrigiert und er erhält die notwendige Versorgung, um seine Mangelerscheinungen auszugleichen. Seine Tierärztin ist zuversichtlich, dass er sich mit der richtigen Pflege und Ernährung gut erholen wird.Trotz seines schwierigen Starts ist er ein liebenswerter kleiner Zwergwidder, der nun die Chance auf ein schönes Kaninchenleben verdient hat.Sobald sein Gesundheitszustand es zulässt, möchte er gerne in ein erfahrenes, kaninchenerfahrenes Zuhause ziehen. Voraussetzung ist eine artgerechte Haltung mit viel Platz und mindestens einem passenden Kaninchenpartner, denn eine Einzelhaltung kommt für ihn selbstverständlich nicht infrage.Wer diesem kleinen Kämpfer mit Geduld, Liebe und Sachverstand die Möglichkeit auf einen Neuanfang schenken möchte, darf sich gerne bei uns melden.Hinweis zur Kaninchenvermittlung:Bitte lesen Sie sich vor einer Anfrage unsere Vermittlungsbedingungen für Kleintiere aufmerksam durch.Alle unsere Kaninchen sind tierärztlich untersucht und geimpft. In der Regel wurde zudem eine Kotuntersuchung durchgeführt.Die Widder sind zu jung für ein DVT.

What life with Lio looks like

Lio is a small puppy/kitten rabbit waiting at BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof 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 Lio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lio?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lio if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof 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 Lio 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 Lio 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 BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lio 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.
