Timothy

Male · Young · 1 year

Background: Meet Timothy, a single male rabbit who is looking for a new home with a suitable companion. Timothy came to Raystede as he wasn't able to bond with other rabbits in the home. He is a sweet and inquisitive boy who loves to follow you around! Home wanted: Timothy will require an indoor or outdoor home, measuring at least 60ft². Children: Could live with older teens/adult only home. Recommend limited handling. Other animals: Requires a companion - would be best suited to a spayed female. Must be kept separate from other pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs etc) in the home. Additional needs: He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Timothy has early stages of dental disease which may be managed through a strict, hay based diet and plenty of grass. He will require an adopter with experience of rabbit dental issues and who knows the signs to look out for for any re occurrence. Please ask the smalls team for more information. Adopters will need to keep yearly vaccinations up to date. Enclosure must be minimum of 60ft² for a bonded pair. Any additional rabbits would need an extra 30ft². If you are interested in adopting Timothy as a companion for your rabbit, please complete an online application form.

About Timothy

What life with Timothy looks like

Timothy is a young adult rabbit waiting at Raystede Centre in Ringmer.

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 Timothy, answered.

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