Snickers

Mixed Breed · Male

Many of the animals that come to us are found outside with no known owner. What Snickers has experienced before coming to us, we do not know – but there is no doubt that his life has been tough. Snickers is neutered, but still has a clear, territorial behavior and guards what he perceives as his own. We believe that Snickers can develop positively if he lives with one calm female companion, and with people who have the time, patience, and desire to spend some time with him. Sometimes Snickers forgets that he needs to take care of himself and his things, as he tends to forget that he loves to be brushed and combed. Clipping his claws also goes without major problems. These moments make us convinced that there is a home where Snickers can truly thrive, and maybe he will eventually shed his territorial behavior? It is important for us to be honest: Snickers is very territorial today. He is generally clean, but can mark something if he gets new neighbors/guests at the foster home where he lives. For this reason, he should live outside in an environment where he can have his own space with minimal disturbances, and preferably with a female companion. Snickers lives outside today and thrives by sitting on his dry bed and looking out the window. Snickers should not live in a home with children. This is to ensure his well-being and safety, as well as to avoid stress or unwanted situations.

Mange av dyrene som kommer til oss, er funnet ute uten kjent eier. Hva Snickers har opplevd før han kom til oss, vet vi ikke – men det er ingen tvil om at livet hans har vært tøft. Snickers er kastrert, men har likevel en tydelig, territoriell atferd og vokter det han opplever som sitt. Vi tror Snickers kan utvikle seg positivt dersom han får bo med én rolig venninne, og hos noen som har tid, tålmodighet og lyst til å bruke litt tid på ham. Noen ganger glemmer Snickers nemlig at han må passe på seg selv og tingene sine, for han glemmer nemlig at han elsker å bli børstet og stelt. Kloklipping går også uten store problemer. Det er disse øyeblikkene som gjør oss overbevist om at det finnes et hjem der Snickers virkelig kan få det godt, og kanskje han legger fra seg den territorielle atferden etterhvert? Det er nemlig viktig for oss å være ærlige: Snickers er i dag meget territoriell. Han er stort sett renslig, men kan markere noe hvis han får nye naboer/feriegjester hos fosterhjemmet han bor i nå. Av den grunn bør han bo ute og i et miljø hvor han kan få sitt eget område uten for mye forstyrrelser, og helst med en venninne så klart. Snickers bor ute i dag og stortrives med å sitte inne på den tørre hemsen sin og titte ut av vinduet. Snickers bør ikke bo i hjem med barn. Dette er for å sikre både hans trivsel og sikkerhet, samt for å unngå stress eller uønskede situasjoner.

About Snickers

What life with Snickers looks like

Snickers is a large adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo in Oslo.

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.

Note from the shelter: Highly territorial behavior, needs outdoor housing with minimal disturbances, requires patient and experienced owner

🇳🇴Adopting from Norway

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Snickers, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Snickers?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Snickers on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Snickers if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a rabbit can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Snickers already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a rabbit comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo directly what is included and what Snickers still needs.
What happens if Snickers 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 Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Snickers 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 (NO). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
