Pietertje

Male · Adult · 4 years

Pietertje konijn was op avontuur gegaan buiten, maar ja, een konijntje alleen buiten is niet zo verstandig. Gelukkig waren er oplettende mensen en kon Pietertje gevangen worden. Een eigenaar meldde zich helaas niet meer. Nu is Pietertje klaar om naar een nieuw huis te gaan. Op 21 augustus is hij gecastreerd, dus over 4 weken mag hij gaan daten met de konijnenmeisjes. Tot die tijd moet hij nog even vanaf een afstandje zwaaien. Pietertje is een onwijs leuk konijntje, heel open naar mensen, houdt van een aai over zijn bol en wordt blij als hij wat lekkers voorgeschoteld krijgt. Een gezellig huishouden met veel aandacht en een leuke konijnenmeid is wat we dan ook zoeken voor Pietertje. Gecastreerd: 21 augustus 2026 Gewicht: 1.6kg Leeftijd: Jong volwassen

About Pietertje

What life with Pietertje looks like

Pietertje is a adult rabbit waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pietertje, answered.

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