Bertha
About
Age: Estimated 5-7 years
Breed: Mix
Gender: Female
Size: Medium
Bertha is a very gentle girl and we want her to enjoy the peaceful life that she deserves. Bertha was rescued by a member of our team having been passed around and living in a tiny 3ft box hutch with no space or enrichment. Sadly this left her quite reclusive and with no muscle and she was really miserable. Fast forward 3 years - and she has just returned to us after being an end of life foster companion for a very unwell senior rabbit. During her time in her foster home, she came out of shell and provided a lot of love to her companion, accompanying him to the vets regularly and looking after him. She has grown in confidence and is now looking for her final home and new companion/s.
Bertha is quiet and confident, she isn't an anxious bun or nervous however she does like to take things at her own pace and takes time settling into new places. She doesn't like exploring much and prefers to stay close to her 'hub' area with her things around her. She is very chilled and likes to snooze most of her days away. She has learned to play with toys and she now enjoys throwing her little hay baskets around and loves any toy so long as it's stuffed with hay.
If there is one thing this girl loves, it's hay. She prefers hay over anything, even treats! She is such a darling and loves you just sitting with her until she feels safe to come for head rubs. Hand feeding her helps build that bond with her and she will get excited about feeding times and this is when she snuggles down with you for strokes and affection.
Bertha really needs new bun friend/s as she thrives with other rabbit company. She is an excellent companion for a bunny who enjoys cuddling or one who needs help eating more hay. She is caring, nurturing and not confrontational at all. If you are looking for a team player who will get along with anyone or a great peaceful addition to a group, Bertha is the girl for you! She is very easy to bond and doesn't like any trouble, she is loving, patient and gentle with other rabbits. She would make a great bun for a trio/group or another senior or special needs bun who needs a considerate bun friend.

Home Criteria
Bertha would be best in a home with someone who is happy for her to do her own thing with another bun/s and take the time to build a relationship over time with her. She is absolutely fine with dogs and cats however is not comfortable in 'human busy homes' so ideally one person or a couple would be best for her to live with. She does enjoy being in the house but would need a little area that's hers where she can retreat to and plod around. A shed type home outside would also be ok but she would need lots of bun friends and it will take her longer to build a bond with you if she is outdoors. If you would rather her be a 'rabbits rabbit' then an enclosed outdoor home would also work for her.
Special Requirements
She doesn't have any special criteria and doesn't have any health conditions.
