Lionhead rabbits at Stubbington Ark need a new home

Tinkerbell and Terence are two inseparable adult lionhead rabbits who are desperately looking for a family to give them a hutch full of hay and some loving affection.

Currently in the care of the Stubbington Ark rescue centre in Fareham, the team said that these two are rarely seen apart.

Both these bunnies are mature adults, and the rescue centre team wants this duo to be able to live out the rest of their lives in their very own garden.

Despite being inseparable, the pair are very different in character - Tinkerbell being the more confident one, will come over to see you, giving lots of sniffs to see if you have any treats.

Terence, on the other hand, is the shyer of the two, so he sometimes may keep a distance when it comes to socialising but will come to you when he is ready.

The Ark team said that children will need to be six or older and to take a slow approach while the rabbits get used to their new surrounds. The bunnies can also live around dogs and cats, but to be kept separately.

A spokesperson from the small animal department at Stubbington Ark said: "Terence and Tinkerbell are both the sweetest bunnies who are closely bonded.

“They are always together and always greet the staff in the morning ready for breakfast.

“Even though they can be nervous around people they don't know they have grown massively in confidence since coming into the Ark and are both adored by all the staff.

“Terence and Tinkerbell are both elderly and we are desperate to find their forever family so they can enjoy their retirement in a loving home."

Tinkerbell and Terence have been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and had their teeth checked.
