Simba

This is Simba, in his own company he is quite a laid back Lionhead rabbit, who particularly loves to loaf in his outdoor run basking in the sun. He does get a spring in his step when his human friends come by to spend some time with him, especially if they have some forage for him to snuffle for. But, most importantly he would like a neutered female rabbit to bond with. When Simba originally arrived to us, he was a bit nervous and needed a slow approach to build up his confidence and trust. After quite some time in our care, he came out of his shell and took everything in his stride with a regular routine. Even after being returned to us, Simba is still the confident chap we knew, but companionship of his own kind would aid him well, to give him what his human friends cannot. He would require at least one meeting where staff can discuss Simba and his requirements. Bonding of the rabbits can be discussed too. Simba was sadly returned to the shelter after his bond with his female companion broke down in the previous home. It is expected this occurred because the dynamic did not work living in a indoor only set-up, where there are a high volume of different smells and sounds. Additionally, the variety of areas/rooms in an indoor set up, could have created conflict over territory. Therefore, we feel Simba would be better suited to an outdoor enclosure, where there is less confusion over his space with his new bonded mate. The ability to graze on grass is desired to allow Simba to regularly use his natural behaviours. • Rabbits must have a minimum living space of 3 metres long x 2 metres wide x 1 metre high, with 24-hour access at all times.
