Nero

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Buck3 – 5 years oldArrived with us 5th September (18 days ago)Being looked after in Rode HeathLog number 1047926We realise not everyone is in a position to adopt a companion, so why not take a look at our virtual adoption scheme …..Nero. He is very sweet but nervous, he will need a patient home. You can win him round with food! He would suit a young child free home or with kids 10+. He’s looking for a wife-bun to settle down with and we’re sure he’s desperate to find a new companion after losing his wife-bun. Likes nibbling sticks, digging, tunnelling. Roaming time in the garden during day light hours. He used to spend time with his bunny companion behind the raised beds – lounging, digging, eating. Enjoys scrambling through the tube and other narrow passageways. Hides under the hutch (where it is also very cool on a warm day).HISTORY: 2023 He was abandoned. Left behind to perish. He was rescued by the RSPCA. Birmingham RSPCA branch took care of him for 6 months then he was transferred to our branch. 2024 He was adopted but he recently lost his companion and his owner isn’t in a position to take on another rabbit, so he was rehomed in August 2026. Unfortunately that home didn’t work out as bonding with another rabbit wasn’t successful. He was rather overweight on arrival so is on a diet!Indoor housing requirement is a minimum of 60 square feet of floor space 24/7.Outdoor housing requirement is a minimum 6ft shed/house or 6 x 2 x 2 hutch with a minimum of 60 sq. feet of secure covered floor space, normally a run and it has to be 3ft in height attached securely to the rabbit house, with ideally but not mandatory, the freedom to a secure garden/alternative area for stimulation; exercise, space and enrichment are most important!Please read this information on suitable accommodation : you’d be interested in sharing your home with Nero please email for an application form.

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nero, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nero?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nero on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nero if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nero 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 Nero 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 RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nero 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 (EN). 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.
