[Adoption Conditions for Rescued Rabbits] To support a happy life for them

Our top priority is finding homes for rabbits that will be treated as "family" and live healthy lives, both physically and mentally.

1. Rearing environment: Cage-free (kept in a playpen)

I believe that a rabbit's home should not just be a place to sleep, but a room where it can move around freely.

  • Conditions: As a general rule, do not keep them in cages. Instead, provide a large space enclosed by a circle (exercise pen) panel.

  • Reason: Living in a confined space puts a great strain on a rabbit's legs, hips, and mental well-being. Imagine a human being locked in a toilet all the time. Rabbits need the freedom to move around freely.

2. Elderly people and single people: Backup system (guardian)

I don't want you to give up on the idea of living with a rabbit just because of your age or living alone.

  • Conditions: For seniors or single individuals, we require you to designate a **"backup person (guardian)"** who can responsibly take over the rabbit in the event of your death.

  • Reason: Rabbits are animals that live for more than 10 years. You never know what might happen in their long lives. The greatest act of love for your rabbit is to decide in advance on a safe haven (where to pass the baton) so that they don't get lost in case of an emergency.

3. Understanding proper animal husbandry and welfare (based on international standards and HRS)

  • Indoor-only keeping: Living together in a room where temperature and humidity can be controlled 24 hours a day.

  • Appropriate medical care: If your rabbit seems unwell, you should immediately take it to a specialist veterinarian who is knowledgeable about rabbits.

  • Proper diet: Provide plenty of high-quality hay and maintain a diet that prioritizes the rabbit's health.

4. Promise of lifelong care

  • Please promise to love your child unconditionally as a family member, no matter what, until their last day.
