On this page are some of the guests staying at Bobtails until they can find a new family of their very own. Adopting a rabbit shouldn't be taken lightly, we can live for over 7 years and need a need lots of room to live. Then of course there's all that food to pay for and vets bills when we're feeling poorly.

Sky & Poppy - WE ARE RESERVED
Sky is a neutered blue otter mini lop born in February 2009. He really loves a stroke and is very friendly. Poppy is a beautiful neutered red and white agouti dwarf born in April 2008. Sky and Poppy make a very good looking pair of bunnies. They are looking for a home together. These two have been reserved and they are due to move into their new home later this week.

Lucy & Lilly - WE NEED A HOME
Lucy is a pink eyed white female and Lilly is a black and white English. They were both born in March 2004 and are neutered and vaccinated. They have been here quite a long time now and seem to be consistently overlooked and we can't understand why. Actually these two sparked quite a debate between the volunteers this week when we were discussing them at tea. Delia said that they are no trouble at all and that they are looking for a quiet home. Claire agreed and added that if they watched TV they would watch documentaries rather than thrillers. Pat vehemently disagreed with them both and said that she sees them as Miss Marple watchers. We won’t bore you with the rest of the discussion. But we will just say that they are a lovely, gentle and well mannered pair of girls who are looking for a home together.

Bonnie - TO BECOME A PERMANENT RESIDENT
Bonnie is a female agouti dutchie girl born in June 2003. She is quite shy and reserved. Bonnie was not neutered when she arrived with us and due to this fact and her age, we were worried about the risk of uterine cancer. We had her neutered immediately but, unfortunately, during the op, our vet found that Bonnie had uterine cancer. Our brilliant vet removed as much of the tissue as he could and we thought we had caught it in time but, tragically we hadn't - Bonnie has numerous tumours which can't be treated. We keep telling people about the importance of neutering female bunnies due to the high risk of uterine cancer and this is sadly an example of what can happen. Please please please have your female bunnies neutered, as uterine cancer IS avoidable. Bonnie is currently happy and comfortable and we will obviously monitor her closely to make sure she stays this way, but we know that her time is limited. She is living with one of our foster carers where she is being spoilt rotten. Bonnie will remain as one of our permanent residents.

Kermit - TO BECOME A PERMANENT RESIDENT ***YOU CAN BUY MY MOUSE MAT ON EBAY***
***Simply search for "Bobtails Kermit" on eBay and you'll find it! ***YOU CAN HELP FEED ME ON EBAY - Search for Bobtails Kermit and you'll find me!*** Kermit is a brown and white lop male born in April 2006. He arrived with us with the most rotten teeth we have ever seen. His molars were rotting in his gums and one had grown into his cheek. He was extremely thin and weighed just 1.3 kg (a bunny of his breed and age should weigh around 2.3 kg). Despite his ill health we were so worried about his teeth that he really needed to have a dental. During the dental several of his teeth just fell out because they were so rotten. However he bounced back and has since gained weight consistently. He is now of normal weight which is fantastic. He has since lost a few more teeth and now has very few left, so his food has to be blended. However, he is eating like a horse - so much so that we think we need to increase the cost of his "feed me for a week" on eBay!!!! As you can imagine, Kermit has a special place in our hearts because he is such a bouncy lively and nosey boy and thoroughly enjoying life, despite his history. Due to his ongoing health problems he is not available for rehoming and will become one of our permanent residents. Kermit is being sponsored this week by Karen Heseltine, Benjamin Ficken, Victoria Matthews, Emmajane Sheppard and Angela Stannett. Thank you for your support and kindness.

Indie & Plaice - WE NEED A HOME
Indie is a beautiful neutered french lop black otter born in April 2009. She is on the left of the photo. Her son, Plaice was born on 4th September 2009 and he is now neutered. He is also a french lop and has lots of growing to do and will be very large when he gets older. Indie & Plaice are a gorgeous pair of bunnies who are looking for a home together.

Hilsa & Brill - WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOME
Hmm, could this maybe be a sneak peek of a possible 2011 calendar shot??!! Whilst everybody else was shivering inside their homes, Jim braved it outside in the cold to get some shots - and we think this one is fantastic. Hilsa and Brill are French lop brothers and were born mid September 2009. They have now been neutered. They arrived with us along with their mum, Siena and sister Dory who have been rehomed together. Hilsa and Brill are looking for a home as a pair. Aren’t they adorable! They have now been successfully rehomed together.

Clam - I AM RESERVED ***NEW PHOTO***
Clam is a neutered grey and white lionhead dutch cross. We also think he has a bit of neddie in him as he has a very round face. We estimate him to have been born between January 2009 and May 2009. He was found dumped at a vets along with what we think are his siblings and parents. Unfortunately for him he arrived during our 'fish name' theme month - and he drew the short straw with his name. His looks make up for the name though! He will be neutered soon. Volunteer 'Little Sarah' claims that Clam can blow his nose to order (yes, we just smiled and nodded too!). Clam has been reserved subject to a home check and we hope he will pair with Daphne, who you can see further down the page.

Cherry, Char & Chapila - WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOME
Cherry is a harlequin lionhead dutch cross born in approximately May 2008. We think she is mum to Char (the light grey and white one) and Chapila (the dark grey and white one), who are both girls who we estimate were born between January 2009 and May 2009. We also think Cherry is mum to Clam who you can see above. There is a definite family resemblance. They are all neutered. This lovely trio have now been rehomed together.

Lace - I AM RESERVED
Lace is a beautiful grey cream lop girl. She came to us via the RSCPA who removed her from an unpleasant situation. Lace has developed EC, but is responding really well to her medication. She is such a sweetie and has, unsurprisingly been reserved. We hope Lace will pair with a recently bereaved ex-Bobtailer called Bo Bo.

Kevlar & Canvas - WE NEED A HOME ***UPDATED INFO & NEW PHOTO***
Kevlar and Canvas are a pair of neutered tan male lops who arrived via the RSPCA who rescued them from an unpleasant situation. With the help of our brilliant vet, we have minimised the impact of the teeth problems that they had when they arrived and these two have now had their incisors removed. This means that they have no ongoing teeth problems and they will just need to have their food chopped. Poor Kevlar also only has one ear. But this makes him extra special, we are sure you will agree. They are very affectionate and extremely cheeky and nosey. They loved being n a run on the patio when we were open this week. They had possibly the best spot for keeping an eye on what is going on - and that is exactly what they did. In between posing and looking handsome that is. They will need to be somewhere very secure as they are secret Houdinis and will try to get out at the first opportunity. We would really love to rehome these two as house bunnies for many many reasons– they would be perfect!

Velvet & Fleece - WE NEED A HOME ***UPDATED INFO***
Velvet & Fleece are a pair of girls born in December 2009. They came to us along with their sister Cashmere, who you can see further down the page, when they were just a few weeks old after being orphaned. They arrived during our ‘materials’ theme. Some of the volunteers wanted to name these two Polyester & Rubber but Delia put her foot down and insisted on ‘nice names’ – which is quite lucky as their fur seems to have grown like their names (no, honestly). Goodness only knows what would have happened if those naughty volunteers had had their way! There was a bit of sisterly stuff going on with Velvet, Cashmere & Fleece, with Cashmere being the bossy one. So Cashmere will hopefully be going off to live with ex-Bobtailer Taffy (subject to pairing) leaving Velvet & Fleece looking for a home together. They are a pair of gorgeous and cute little monsters who have been attracting lots of attention with their antics. Spring was certainly in the air and they were bouncing off the walls on Sunday when we were open to the public. These two will certainly keep you very amused.

Flaxen - I AM RESERVED
Flaxen is a beautiful female black and white dwarf lop born in 2004. She came to us after being taken to the vet to be put to euthanased. Flaxen has some health problems that we need to resolve before she is ready for rehoming. She has weak back legs and a messy bottom. She will also be neutered soon. Flaxen has been reserved and we hope she will bond with the lovely Lincoln & Forrest - that is going to be such a cute trio!

Orion - I AM RESERVED
Orion is a pale cream/grey 2 year old female Dwarf Lop. She arrived at Bobtails as an emergency rescue as her life was in imminent danger. She is a really sweet girl who has now been neutered. She is looking for love with a neutered male. We are delighted that Orion has been reserved to live as a house bunny and we hope she will pair with the handsome Rusty. They are due to start dating this week.

Boo - I AM IN MY NEW HOME
Boo is a stunningly handsome male white mini lop with blue eyes. He was born in March / April 2009 and will be neutered soon. He is a lively boy but melts when you stroke him. Boo is looking for a home with a neutered female. Volunteer Kyle was on form this week when he excitedly inputted his views for the website - he said "Boo is bootiful and smells of summer". Boo has paired with Speckles and he has now moved in with her.

Yogi & Babies - AVAILABLE SOON
WE ARE CURRENTLY LIVING WITH OUR FOSTER PARENTS. PLEASE RING IN ADVANCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET US. Yogi arrived at Bobtails heavily pregnant after giving birth to a litter recently. She gave birth to 7 babies the day after she arrived. She is currently weaning her babies so will not be available for a while. Yogi is a white and brown mini lop with blue eyes. She was born in March / April 2009. Yogi will be neutered as soon as she has finished bringing up her babies. Unfortunately Yogi did not set a good example to her babies when we took this photo (as you can see, they were all lined up nicely which she was rebelling!). It must have been a blip as she is a great mum really and doing a fantastic job with this little lot. Yogi will be looking for a home with one of her babies and the others will be re-homed in pairs. They will all be ready for rehoming soon.

Ronnie - I AM IN MY NEW HOME
Ronnie is a male brown and white dwarf lop born in August 2009. He will be neutered soon. Ronnie is very friendly and lively and loves attention and a piece of the action. He seems to have some growing into his ears to do as you can see in this photo. He is looking for a home with a neutered female. Ronnie has now been reserved and he has paired with Yasmine and they are now living happily together.

Toffee - I NEED A HOME ***UPDATED INFO & NEW PHOTO***
Toffee is a black male born in March 2009. He has just been neutered. Toffee is VERY lively and entertaining. He decided that because the sunshine had arrived he should take a dip in his water bowl when he was out in his run this Sunday - the silly sausage. We know it was sunny but blooming cold! As well as being a performer, Toffee is also a cuddler. We have no idea what the white thing is by Toffee's face in the photo but it has sparked ‘white thing gate’ at the rescue. Volunteer Lorraine is the prime suspect because she managed to get tippex on her face this week and she was also spotted smooching with Toffee today. However, quick to her defence was volunteer Will who said that that 'white thing is a piece of hay' - we don't know where he as been living but we have never seen white hay, unless that is some sort of special cut!), but the jury is still out. Toffee is looking for a home with a neutered female.

Lillian & Dancer - WE ARE RESERVED
Lillian & Dancer are a neutered pair of dwarf lop girls born in March 2007. Lillian is black and white and Dancer is grey and white. Our pairs of rabbits have been the subject of lots of discussion this week, none more so than this pair. Volunteer Little Sarah said that they she saw them trying to jump from their enclosed run back to their hutch even when the door was closed. Bless them, apparently they just kept trying and trying. They have now been moved to a different hutch where they love to watch what is going on. Lillian & Dancer have been reserved subject to a home check.

Quasar - I AM RESERVED
Quasar is a beautiful white bunny with tortie ears and strip down his back. He arrived at Bobtails as an RSPCA cruelty case. He was born in June 08. He has just been neutered and is looking for a home with a neutered female bunny. He has now been reserved subject to a home check and we hope he will pair with Bambi.

Nebula - I NEED A HOME ***UPDATED INFO & NEW PHOTO***
***YOU CAN HELP FEED ME ON EBAY - Search for Bobtails Nebula and you'll find me!*** Nebula is a tan dwarf lop who arrived at the rescue after being dumped on our doorstep in a cardboard box. It was just lucky that we were at home and went outside before the fox found her - that would have been an easy meal for him. Nebula is estimated to be 2-3 years old. She was un-neutered when she arrived and was very very frightened. She was showing her fear in the only way she could - by being aggressive. She has now been neutered and is like a different bunny. She is very inquisitive and will rush to see you when you open her hutch door. She loves to have her nose and ears stroked and melts in your arms when you cuddle her - a truly amazing thing to be part of when you bear in mind how far she has come. It is wonderful to see this girl developing her confidence and going from strength to strength each week. Nebula went out in a run on the patio for the first time this week and she just loved it. Nebula was having such a wonderful time that volunteer Sarah got into the run with her and started rubbing noses with Nebula. We couldn't get a photo of that as Sarah's big bum covered the whole picture, so we just got a photo of Nebula chilling out. Nebula is looking for a home with a neutered male.

Saturn - I AM IN MY NEW HOME
Saturn is a gorgeous neutered pink eyed white bunny who arrived with us as a stray. We will post more information about Saturn soon. Saturn has paired with Ebby and they have now moved in together.

Polydor - I AM IN MY NEW HOME
Polydor is a very pretty castor rex neutered female. She was born in January 2005 and came to us as a much loved bunny whose owner was too ill to look after her. She is looking for a home with a neutered male. Polydor has bonded with Trigger & Treacle and gone off to live with them and volunteer Xavier. Polydor is now called Truffle.

Marge - I AM RESERVED
Marge is a very sweet white and tan female bunny. She arrived as a stray and she will be neutered soon. Marge is a very placid girl and does love a cuddle. Volunteer Sarah could barely get away after Marge's photo shoot. She put Marge back into her hutch and Marge just kept snuggling up to her and chattering her teeth. Marge is very popular her with the volunteers and there is something special about her. We are delighted that Marge has been reserved subject to a home check and we hope she will pair with the very pampered house bunny Poo.

Bart - I AM RESERVED ***YOU CAN HELP FEED ME ON EBAY***
***Search for Bobtails Bart and you'll find me!*** Bart is a grey male lop born in November 2009. Unsurprisingly he arrived during our.... drumroll.... The Simpson name theme month. He was bred deliberately by his previous owner then unwanted. Bart is very cute. He will be neutered soon and is looking for a home with a neutered female. Bart has been reserved subject to a home check. Bart is being sponsored this week by Joanne Barnes, Carol Fenton Balch and Saraleigh Thornton. Thank you for your support.

Pip - I AM RESERVED
Pip is a neutered female black and chocolate brown lop born in September 2009. She came to us because her previous owner had too many rabbits and couldn't cope. Pip is looking for a home with a neutered male. Pip has been reserved subject to a home check and we hope she will pair with Max.

Honey & Link - WE NEED A HOME ***NEW PHOTO*** YOU CAN HELP FEED US ON EBAY***
***Search for Bobtails Honey & Link and you'll find us!*** Honey is a neutered female brown dwarf lop and Link is a neutered male sooty fawn dwarf lop. Both were born on 19th April 2004. They look quite similar, but Honey has slightly longer fur. They are a lovely pair of friendly buns who love a head rub. We have found that these two have a special juggling skill. It is amazing how they can throw the food from their bowl and it lands in one place – they have obviously been perfecting this skill for years - it’s their USP. It really is quite impressive, because for weeks many of us have thought that somebody has put their food in a very specific place a way away from their bowl. In actual fact they have not – Honey & Link have tossed it there. This lovely pair are looking for a home together. Honey & Link are being sponsored this week by Angela Griffiths. Thank you for your support and kindness.

Bruno & Bunty - WE NEED A HOME ***NEW PHOTO***

Maude - I NEED A HOME
Maude is a four and a half year old girl who has not yet been neutered. She is a tan and white cross who has some dutch markings with some harlequin - so a bit of all sorts really. Poor Maude had a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in the past leaving her with chronic arthritis. This is under control with intermittent pain relief and Maude is a happy bunny who is enjoying life. She is very sweet. We are looking to rehome Maude as a house bunny with a neutered male, as she needs to be kept in the warm. She needs accommodation without ramps or steps, or a stena stairlift.

Cashmere - I AM RESERVED
Cashmere was born in December 2009. She came to us along with her sister Velvet & Fleece, who you can see further up the page, when they were just a few weeks old after being orphaned. Cashmere has been reserved subject to pairing to live with ex-Bobtailer Taffy. They are due to start dating this week.

Charlie - I AM RESERVED
Charlie is a white lionhead born in March 2009. He is active, inquisitive and has ants in his pants. He would not stay still for his photo because everything else was far too interesting. He was reserved by a lionhead freak as soon as he arrived.

Harley - I AM RESERVED
Harley is a handsome male tan and white dwarf lop aged 2 years. He was left in a garden after his owner moved and so was handed into us. He is very nervous at the moment but we are sure that with some time and patience he will settle down nicely. Handsome Harley has been reserved and we hope he will pair with ex-Bobtailer Scurvy (yes, sorry that was one of our names).

Homer - I NEED A HOME ***UPDATED INFO***
***YOU CAN HELP FEED ME ON EBAY - Search for Bobtails Homer and you'll find me!*** Homer is a gorgeous black and white dutch who arrived as a stray.

His nails have now been clipped and he is settling in well. Homer has been checked by our vet who said that he has lovely teeth that even Simon Cowell would be proud of. Homer has started his course of vaccinations. Homer is being sponsored this week by Victoria Matthews and Joanne Barnes. Thank you for your support and kindness.

Little Tristan - I NEED A HOME ***NEW ARRIVAL***
***YOU CAN HELP FEED ME ON EBAY - Search for Bobtails Little Tristan and you'll find me!*** This handsome white and brown lionhead arrived with us after being dumped outside a veterinary surgery. We think he is about a year old. He was neutered 25th Feb and has had his Myxi vaccination. He is a very shy bun but will happily exchange nose rubs for food. He is a typical man - eats, sleeps, drinks and does his own thing. He is litter trained so would make ideal house bun. He is looking for a home with a neutered female.

Daphne - I AM RESERVED ***NEW ARRIVAL***
Daphne is a beautiful Himalayan female born around April 2009. She is very cuddly and apparently likes to lick your face She has been reserved subject to a home check and we hope she will pair with Clam, who you can see further up the page.
