Sex: Male
Age: Born mid 2022

Size: Medium lionhead

Neuter: 11/11/22

Vacs: 31/10/2023

Reason for arrival: We were alerted that someone had found him & his sister in their garden, with no neighbours knowing about them. He and his sister went out on a trial bond late 2023 to form a trio with someone's own bun, unfortunately a week into the bond Sabrina went into stasis. She & Salem came back and despite improving Sabrina passed away. We had a blood test done on Salem just to make sure there was nothing else going on that he might be affected by but it came back clear and months later he's still great so there's no health concerns.

​

Temperament with people: Both easily come forward for food but neither want to be stroked. Salem is a bit more confident than Sabrina, she's faster to move away if I reach towards them. Generally for these two I get them to walk into a carrier if I need to take them indoors to trim nails/go vets etc as they're more skittish than average

​

Grooming needs: He has long hair so will need occasional trimming (rather than brushing) which means he can go a long time between grooms (= less stress for him)

Diet: A mix of Hay Box timothy and local meadow hay (not bagged pet shop hay), various wild plants such as plantain, wood avens, young brambles, dandelions, yarrow, apple leaves, strawberry leaves, geraniums, hazel leaves, willow etc. Also enjoy dried mixes of flowers/wild plants/herbs and fresh grass. He occasionally gets some cold pressed grain-free pellets during the winter months

 

Type of home needed: He currently lives outdoors but could live indoors. We highly recommend that indoor homes set up a UVB light for rabbits for vitamin D. He's currently single so needs a rabbit partner

 

If you're interested in adopting him head to the Care & Adoption page to read through the rabbit section, the online application is within the Adoption page
