OUR ADOPTION POLICY

Rabbits will only be re-homed in pairs or to live with another neutered and vaccinated rabbit (unless there are exceptional circumstances based on the health and wellbeing of the individual rabbit).

​

Accommodation and exercise areas must meet RWAF and RSPCA standards.

​

Rabbits must have suitable enrichment, eg, toys, tunnels and hideouts and these must be replaced regularly.

​

We expect the rabbit to have fresh clean water from a clean bowl or bottle and to be fed a suitable diet.

​

Anyone adopting a rabbit from the rescue is required to sign an agreement that they will meet the rabbits welfare needs and make sure that the rabbit has a happy and healthy life by providing suitable housing, diet, water, companionship, socialisation and exercise.

​

All rabbits are vaccinated before rehoming and it is a requirement that these vaccinations are continued by the owner. 

​

If at any time the adopter is unable to keep the rabbit (or guinea pig) then they must be returned to Acorn Rescue and not passed on.

​

Acorn Rabbit Rescue reserves the right to reclaim the rabbit should there be any breach of the agreed conditions.

​

Home Checks are carried out before and after adoption.

​
