Zeus

Male · Young · 3 years

Zeus was rescued through classified ads. He was unneutered and kept alone, probably as a toy for children. The over 3kg rabbit gentleman was initially very skittish, but now he enjoys being petted and is more relaxed. We have neutered him and he can move out from the beginning of October. He needs a lot of space to run and a loving rabbit companion.

Zeus wurde über Kleinanzeigen gerettet. Er war unkastriert und wurde einzeln gehalten, vermutlich als Spielzeug für die Kinder. Der über 3kg schwere Kaninchenherr war anfangs sehr schreckhaft, mittlerweile lässt er sich aber gerne streicheln und ist entspannter. Wir haben ihn kastriert und er darf ab Anfang Oktober ausziehen. Er braucht viel Platz zum rennen und eine liebevolle Kaninchenpartnerin.

About Zeus

What life with Zeus looks like

Zeus is a small young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

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 Zeus, answered.

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