Toffee and Treacle
Toffee and Treacle are a pair of 4 1/2 year old Abyssinian sisters. Toffee is the one on the left of the picture and Treacle is the one on the right. They came into care as the previous owners had brought a new dog who was harassing them in their hutch.
Toffee is the shy sister and Treacle is the more bold and nosey sister. Can you offer a home to these girls in their twilight years after they have been coldly cast out of a family they served as loyal pets to for so long?

Olly is a black male lop, approx 4 months old. Olly is a feisty bunny, full of life, hopping higher then I’ve ever seen. He loves space to run and jump, using all his toys as high jumps!
He explores everything and gets up to all sorts of silly things. However once he’s in my arms its a completely different story he becomes as soft as anything loving the fuss and attention. Olly will make a wonderful companion for any bunny with energy to play!
Related Listing Info:Mistletoe
Mistletoe is a 4 month old female lop, she is a beautiful silver grey colour, and is a perfect little lady. She is a gentle bunny quite happy to snooze in the sun, or get wet in the rain. She has made dashes round the run, stuffs her tummy with grass, and whatever other tasty treats that are available.
Other than that she is quite relaxed, and happy to let life, and whatever else thats happening just get on with it. Mistletoe won’t take any grief, and can give out as good as she gets. She thinks she’s queen of the world, and won’t let anyone tell her.
Related Listing Info:Romeo and Valentine
Romeo and Valentine are two white males aged 5 months old. They are neutered and are real sweeties. Although they have been living together for a short time, they are okay to be rehomed separately with females, or they could go together as a pair.

They are very gentle and easy to handle. Can you offer these special boys a new start in life?

Rusty and Whizzer are both 11 months old and are with us due to the child becoming bored of them. Unfortunately Whizzer has brain damage hence the need for a very special home. We think he was either born with this problem or it is the result of him being dropped. He only really shows strange behaviour if he is stressed.
(Whizzer, pictured above)
He will run round and round in circles seemingly in a panic. Also, if you pick him up and then place him down normally he will end up on his chin as from that position his legs don’t work till he’s back up on his feet again. We won’t have him put down, as with a stress free life he does have a good quality of life.

We need to rehome him with his brother and fairly local to Walsall as the stress of a long journey could cause him some damage. If you feel you can offer them a special home please get in touch.

Buttons is a very handsome small ginger/dark grey buck. He’s a very friendly little boy looking for a new home.
Sandy
Sandy is a 1 year old buck rabbit who originally came to the Mayhew as a 2 month old kit. He was bonded with a non-Mayhew rabbit that has since died and sadly Sandy is looking for a new forever home and partner. Since he has grown he has become the most handsome young man.
With his light coloured fur and a small patch of black around the right hand side of his neck, resembling a lion’s mane, he has striking good looks that everyone comments on.
Sandy has always been shy and gentle. He loves being around people and other rabbits and is very inquisitive but will keep his distance preferring to watch, letting them make the first move. Once he has given his trust, he lets you know, giving little nudges of appreciation and by being around and about you generally. He loves to be stroked on the nose and tickled behind the ears.
The trick is to let him get used to you gradually before making a sudden approach. Kind words and encouragement go a long way with him. Sandy dislikes noise and sudden movements and for this reason he will be better homed in a quiet environment preferably with adults or older children only. He is easily handled providing you are confident with him and he feels secure and with the right TLC he soon learns here is nothing to fear.
Sandy has been a house rabbit but could equally be an outdoor pet. He will be bonded with another, perhaps more confident, Mayhew rabbit and will, therefore, be homed as one of a pair. Alternatively, if the right partner cannot be found he could be bonded with a non-Mayhew rabbit looking for a partner.
Related Listing Info:Gus
Gus is a lop eared male, he is a chunky but truly charming chap who simply loves people and being around them. As soon as someone walks by he runs up and down excitedly trying to catch their attention. If this fails to work then he picks up the nearest object in his mouth such as a toy or piece of paper and frantically rushes around whilst looking as cute as he possibly can.
This usually does the trick and the lucky person is then treated to the full Gus repertoire. This includes standing on his hind legs with his front paws on the person’s leg, nudging the person and following them when they try to leave. Gus is a fearless rabbit who doesn’t always know what’s good for him and who has the capacity to get into all sorts of scrapes through his curiosity in exploring and meeting other rabbits and animals.
Luckily his trust in people sees him through as he nearly always comes back to them when he is called. His new carers will need to keep an eye on his antics and be careful that he does not get underfoot.
Gus is confident and lively rabbit who is used to older children and to being handled. He would make an excellent indoor or outdoor rabbit but above all he will need constant company plus a stimulating environment to satisfy his love of life. Gus will either be paired with another Mayhew rabbit or could bonded with a pet rabbit looking for a companion.
