Maja und Peppi

Male

Maja und Peppi were purchased as toys for the children. Unfortunately, both lived in a much too small stable in the children's room. At night, they would cause chaos in the stable, so the children couldn't sleep properly. As we always say, inform first and then acquire animals. Rabbits have an enormous need for movement, which cannot be confined to a cage. While some rabbits accept their fate, Maja und Peppi fortunately made a fuss. Now, both have the chance for a better home. Both are uncomplicated and relatively house-trained.

DE·Show original

Maja und Peppi wurden als Spielzeug für Kinder angeschafft. Leider lebten beide in einem viel zu engen Stall im Kinderzimmer. Nachts wurde dann im Stall randaliert, so das die Kinder nicht richtig schlafen konnten. Wie sagen wir immer so schön, erst informieren und dann Tiere anschaffen. Kaninchen haben einen enormen Bewegungsdrang, die kann man nicht in einem Käfig halten. Einige Kaninchen ergeben sich ihrem Schicksal, aber Maja und Peppi haben zum Glück Randale gemacht. Jetzt haben beide die Chance auf ein besseres Zuhause. Beide sind unkompliziert und recht stubenrein. Na, wer mag sich verlieben ♡

About Maja und Peppi

What life with Maja und Peppi looks like

Maja und Peppi is a adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Maja und Peppi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maja und Peppi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Herne-Wanne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maja und Peppi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maja und Peppi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Herne-Wanne 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 Maja und Peppi 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 Maja und Peppi 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 Herne-Wanne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maja und Peppi 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.
