💔 Mr Fox Has Waited Over 100 Days... Could You Be His Happy Ending?

For over 100 days, handsome Mr Fox has been waiting patiently for a place to call home and, most importantly, a special female bunny companion to share it with. While so many rabbits have come and gone, Fox is still hoping that his perfect match is just around the corner.

This gentle boy deserves so much more than a kennel. He deserves a cosy space to flop, explore, snack on his favourite willow treats, and finally experience the comfort of a loving home alongside a bunny friend.

Fox would make a wonderful house rabbit. He's fully litter trained, enjoys exploring at his own pace, and his confidence grows a little more every day. Watching him venture out, investigate new spaces, and discover the world around him is truly heartwarming. If you're considering an outdoor home, that's fine too, provided his accommodation is winter-ready, insulated, and weatherproof to keep him safe and snug through the colder months.

A true foodie at heart, Fox loves enrichment, tasty treats, tunnels, cardboard boxes, and plenty of opportunities to forage and play. All he's missing is a family to share it with.

After waiting so long, we'd love nothing more than to see Fox finally leave our care and hop into the next chapter of his life. Could you be the person who changes everything for him?

🏡 Indoor home preferred
🐰 Looking for a single female rabbit companion
👧 Can live with respectful children
❤️ Gentle, sweet-natured and growing in confidence every day

Please share to help Fox find the loving home and bunny friend he's been waiting for. 🐰💕

100+ Days Waiting... Surely Fox's Forever Home Is Out There? 🐇

Our handsome boy Fox has now spent over 100 days in our care, and we're determined to help him find the loving home he deserves. 💔

Sometimes male rabbits can take a little longer to find their perfect match, but we know Fox's special someone is out there waiting for him.

Fox is looking for a spacious indoor home where he can continue blossoming into the confident, curious rabbit we know and love. Every day this wonderful boy grows a little braver, exploring his surroundings, enjoying new experiences, and showing us more of his sweet personality. 🐰

A true foodie, Fox is always first in line for dinner and never says no to a tasty treat! He loves willow to nibble on and enjoys plenty of enrichment to keep his busy bunny mind occupied. Tunnels, boxes, hideaways, and foraging opportunities are all high on his list of favourite things.

Most importantly, Fox is searching for a neutered female rabbit to share life's adventures with. Rabbits are incredibly social animals, and we'd love to see him enjoying the companionship of a bunny friend of his own. ❤️

He could live with respectful children who understand that friendships take time to build, and with patience, kindness and love, we're sure Fox will reward his new family with plenty of happy bunny moments.

After more than 100 days of waiting, we think it's time for Fox to find his happily ever after. Could you be the one to give him the home he's been hoping for?
