Best way to rehome rabbits?

[Rooners]

Can I use Gumtree or similar? I'm not on FB, and am wary of letting anything go to a home I don't know.

We have one little bun who is on her own since her sister and mum were taken by a fox last year. I feel so sorry for her as she looks very bored on her own and I don't think it's natural - I've tried introducing her to other rabbits but it didn't work.

Is there anything I can do? She is about 4 years old now and very, very sweet tempered. I just don't know how to get her the loving, interesting home she deserves and I haven't time for a lot of rabbit based activity as I have lots of children and can barely cope already.

Any thoughts or ideas appreciated. (She is very well hayed up, with very thick blanket and insulated cover on her hutch, so hopefully she isn't too cold)

Definitely don't use gumtree or something on line. You would be much better off looking up a rabbit rescue in your area and giving her to them . They will find her a good home.

I wouldn't use Gumtree tbh. You don't really know where the buns are going and what might happen to them.

Try forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/forum.php - but good luck. Rabbits are one of the most abandoned/rehomed pets in the uk, and rescues are often full and run waiting lists. I'm not judging - we had to rehome our bun a couple of years ago and it was hard going to find a good home.

Thankyou, good points and thanks for stopping me advertising her. I'll try and look up a local rescue and ask them for some advice.

We have two other buns who are huge males and they get on brilliantly but she is all on her own. (needless to say they just tried to savage her when we tried introducing them - though initially they all cuddled up together, it was later that they started to go for her, so we removed them)

Have you gone through proper bonding procedures with the males and the lone female? Ie neutral territory, a car journey, lots of space and hides?
If so and it's really not working then I second looking up local rescues/breeders who might know someone looking for a pet bun.
