Potato

Unknown · Baby

Potato was seized by the veterinary office along with other rabbits because their living conditions in their former home were not good. The still young giant rabbit definitely needs to grow into its ears. How big it will be in the end is still unclear at this point, but we expect an end weight of about 6 kilos or more. She is quite accessible to humans, but also shows quite clearly when something doesn't suit her. In her new home, a large enclosure or rabbit room and a nice, ideally similarly sized companion should already be waiting for her. Many hiding and activity options should of course also be available.

DE·Show original

Potato wurde mit weiteren Kaninchen vom Veterinäramt beschlagnahmt, da ihre Haltung im ehemaligen Zuhause nicht so gut war. Das noch junge Riesenkaninchen muss definitiv noch in ihre Ohren rein wachsen. Wie groß sie am Ende wird, ist zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt noch unklar, aber wir gehen von einem Endgewicht von etwa 6 Kilo oder mehr aus. Sie ist dem Menschen gegenüber recht zugänglich, zeigt aber auch recht deutlich wenn ihr etwas nicht passt. In ihrem neuen Zuhause sollte bereits ein großes Gehege oder Kaninchenzimmer und ein netter bestenfalls ähnlich großer Artgenosse auf sie warten. Viele Versteck- und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten sollten selbstverständlich auch vorhanden sein.

About Potato

What life with Potato looks like

Potato is a large puppy/kitten rabbit waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

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 Potato, answered.

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