Zeytin

Male · Young · 3 years

Zeytin (Weight approx. 1.7kg, still in castration quarantine until February 13, 2026) came to us as a relinquished pet. His owner received him as a gift but showed no interest in him and even wanted to release him shortly after Christmas. He had only lived in a small cage until now and his care had already been neglected. Due to the animal welfare-unfriendly individual housing, Zeytin unfortunately has not yet had the opportunity to learn to live with fellow animals. He is a very lively fellow and is now making up for everything he did not experience in his life so far. As he belongs to the breed "Ram," special attention must always be paid to his hearing, as this breeding practice poses a significant risk for ear infections. Currently, Zeytin lives in indoor housing. If you are interested, please contact us via email () and include a few photos of your enclosure, as well as one of the vaccination card of your female rabbit.

Zeytin (Gewicht ca. 1,7kg) kam als Abgabetier zu uns. Seine Besitzerin hat ihn geschenkt bekommen, zeigte aber schnell kein Interesse mehr an ihn und wollte ihn sogar kurz nach Weihnachten aussetzen. Er lebte bisher nur in einem kleinen Käfig und seine Pflege wurde bereits sehr vernachlässigt. Durch die tierschutzwidrige Einzelhaltung hat Zeytin leider das Zusammenleben mit Artgenossen bisher nicht kennenlernen können. Er ist ein sehr munteres Kerlchen und holt nun alles nach, was er bisher in seinem Leben nicht ausleben konnte. Wenn ihm etwas nicht passt, kann er jedoch auch zubeißen, was vermutlich der Käfighaltung und Missachtung seiner Bedürfnisse in seinem alten Zuhause geschuldet ist. Aufgrund einer Hüftluxation (links) musste Zeytin operiert werden (Femurkopfresektion), was er aber super überstanden hat. Leider kann er im Alter jedoch Arthrose bekommen. Da er der Rasse "Widder" angehört, muss stets besonderes Augenmerk auf seine Gehörgänge gelegt werden, da diese Qualzucht ein starkes Risiko für Ohrenentzündungen mit sich bringt. Bisher lebt Zeytin in Innenhaltung. Bei Interesse kontaktieren Sie uns bitte per E-Mail () und fügen direkt ein paar Fotos von Ihrem Gehege, sowie eines vom Impfpass Ihres Kaninchenweibchens hinzu.

About Zeytin

What life with Zeytin looks like

Zeytin is a small young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

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: Requires special ear care due to lop breed predisposition to ear infections. Needs socialization with other rabbits as he was kept in solitary confinement.

🇩🇪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 Zeytin, answered.

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