Shenzi

Male

Shenzi is the unlucky one in our shelter. He's been back with us for the third time. And if that's not bad enough, he's got EC. Many rabbit owners will be familiar with this nasty disease. In Shenzi's case, it manifested as falling over and his head tilting. The falling over has since stopped, but his head remains tilted. It looks sad, but fortunately, he doesn't have any trouble with it. He would love to find a loving home with a girl by his side.

Shenzi is de pechvogel van onze opvang. Hij is inmiddels voor de derde keer bij ons terug. En alsof dat nog niet erg genoeg is, heeft hij EC gekregen. Menig konijneneigenaar zal al bekend zijn met deze rotziekte. Bij Shenzi uitte het zich in omvallen en het koppie scheef. Het omvallen is inmiddels helemaal over, maar zijn koppie is scheef blijven staan. Het ziet er sneu uit, maar gelukkig heeft hij hier zelf geen last van. Hij zou dan ook zo graag weer een eigen thuis vinden met een lief meisje aan zijn zijde.

About Shenzi

What life with Shenzi looks like

Shenzi is a small adult rabbit waiting at Stichting Opvang Konijnenparadijs in Netherlands.

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 Shenzi, answered.

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