The Peterborough Telegraph is running regular spotlights on pets that need new homes to support the work of animal charities in the Peterborough area.
The Peterborough and District Branch of the RSPCA do so much to rescue, nurture and subsequently rehome all kinds of pets in the area. They have continued to operate throughout lockdown and within a small radius are still permitted to rehome these animals.
Below are a selection of those that have been rescued and are in need of their forever home.
To find more details on each rabbit and to search for more rescue animals, visit www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/rehomeapet/process.
The RSPCA are funded entirely by public donations and receive no government money and therefore rely on the generosity of the public. Anyone wishing to support their work do so via www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/donate
Below are a selection of those that have been rescued and are in need of their forever home.

Fenix arrived at the centre after living in a multi animal household. He is very a sweet boy who are looking to go to their forever with a neutered female rabbit. Fenix is such a sweet boy but are a little shy around people. They will need someone who is willing to help him come out of his shell. He loves his veggies so it may be an easy way to bribe him. Fenix is not keen at being picked up however he will tolerate it when needed. This is the same case when being handled. We believe that would make a great addition to a home once he has grown in confidence. Fenix is neutered which means that he is ready to begin bonding with a female straight away!

Hopscotch was born here at the centre along with his two other siblings. He is now looking for a home with his new female friend Athena. They are a very bonded pair and love snuggling up to each other. Hopscotch is a very sweet and curious boy. He is always interested in what you are up to. He especially gets very curious when he knows breakfast is coming! He doesn't mind having a gentle stroke on the head and has no issues with being picked up and handled. He favourite thing to do is to sit on top of his cardboard box watching the world go by. We are looking for Hopscotch to go to a home with a female rabbit with a nice large run so he can binky to his hearts content. He would make a wonderful addition to a family.

Jane came into the centre along with another group of rabbits after being found abandoned. Now that she has recieved some TLC she is looking for her forever home. Jane is a very shy girl which is why we are look for her to go to a home with children at secondary school age upwards. If she feels particularly worried she can show threatening behaviour by grunting. She is still getting used to being around people so will need some help adapting in her new home. To help make Jane feel secure she enjoys hiding in tunnels . She isn't too fond of being handled but will tolerate it when needed.
