English Rabbits Available for Adoption in the UK
English rabbits are medium sized (2.5-3.5kg), they are quite slender and athletic and have very distinctive markings. English rabbits have coloured ears, a stripe down their back and spots on their hips and around each eye – although rescue rabbits might have variations on this. The spots can be many different colours and some crosses can be coloured all over rather than spotty.

Search Tips
Age:
Rescues often have babies available but there are many benefits to a slightly older rabbit. Young rabbits
may not yet be neutered and may change personality as they grow and develop. They also grow up quickly so your baby rabbit will only
be a baby a couple of months anyway. Rabbits aged over a year are fully grown, often already neutered
and you can get a better feel for the personalities. Remember rabbits can live 7-10 years so don't write off a slightly adult rabbit.
Male or Female:
If you are looking for a companion for an existing rabbit then look for a rabbit of the opposite
sex as they are most eas to introduce and least likely to fight. Don't forget your rabbits will need to be neutered before being introduced.
Single / Bonded:
Rabbits are very social and like to live with other rabbits. If you already have a
rabbit then look for a single rabbit to introduce, if this is your first rabbit then look for 'bonded' bunnies, this means two or
more rabbits that have already been paired up. Rabbits form close bonds so rescues will not split up existing pairs.
Choosing a Breed: The rabbit's breed will only tell you what a rabbit will look like, not how they will behave - indivdual rabbits have different personalities. Large rabbits will need large accommodation and breeds with long hair which will need extra grooming.
