Meet Hope – our gorgeous girl looking for some-bunny to call her friend.
Hope is our little fearless beautiful lionhead lady with magnificent fluffy mane and adventurous sprit to match. Full of personality, Hope is bold, brave and endlessly inquisitive. If there is something new to explore, she will be the first to investigate with twitching whiskers and curious eyes. In Hope’s previous home, she had access to supervised free range in garden and this is where she was at her happiest. She loves having freedom to roam, forage and explore the world around her. One of her favourite things to do is spend time digging in soft soil and having a larger space to zoom around in. With Hope having a luscious lion head mane, she does require regular grooming to keep her fur smooth and knot free. Hope enjoys interacting with people, especially if you have a few tasty treats to offer!
If you are interested in Hope and have a single bunny looking for a friend, please do get in touch via the website.
Companion required
This rabbit needs a companion.
A social species, rabbits need to live with other rabbits to thrive.They feel safe and happy in pairs or groups and find comfort in companionship. Rabbits can be housed in neutered same-sex or mixed sex-pairs, or groups.
Accommodation requirements
Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk, and in the wild they have plenty of space to move freely at any hour. Pet rabbits need room to hop at speed, stretch to their full height and length, and dig, forage and graze whenever they like.
A pair of small to medium-sized rabbits need 24-hour access to a floor space of at least 3m x 2m, with a height of at least 1m. This is roughly the size of two king-size mattresses placed together, and about as tall as a door handle.
The image below gives you an idea of how much space a pair of rabbits need.

Information for Rabbit adopters
Are rabbits the right pet for me?
Are rabbits the right pet for me?
Rabbits are wonderful companions, but they’re often misunderstood as low-maintenance pets. The truth is, they’re not!
Here are a few things to think about before you apply:
- Rabbits live for around 8-12 years, so adopting them is a long-term commitment.
- They need significant space – a minimum of 3m x 2m with a height of 1m, 24 hours a day.
- They need to live with at least one other rabbit.
- A pair costs around £80 a month to care for.
- They need regular vaccinations and are prone to certain health conditions that can be costly to treat.

Mixing at our centre in Godmanchester
If you’d prefer to leave it to us, our specialists will handle the introductions at our centre. Once your setup has been approved, we’ll add you to our waiting list and be in touch when we have a suitable match. On the day, you’ll need to bring your rabbit/s to us, and we’ll carry out a quick health check before getting started. You’ll be kept updated throughout the process. We may need more than one session to find the right match. We’ll ask that your rabbit is vaccinated and neutered and we’ll need to see proof of this from your vet.
If a pairing doesn’t work out, we’ll help you find another potential companion. Find out more about our mixing service.

From there, timelines can vary depending on your setup approval. If you’re using our onsite mixing service, the number of bonding sessions to find the right match will also be a factor.
It’s worth starting your application as soon as you’re ready to begin the process.
