Hi, we are looking to re-home our two year old male Flemish Giant Rabbit Hex. Unfortunately we don't have space for both him and his brother at our current home.
He is neutered. Hex is a sweetheart, although can be quite shy before he gets comfortable around you. He enjoys wicker toys and the like that he can chew on, and is quite the fan of cauliflower and cabbage.
If you so wish you can also take the wooden kennel (also pictured), that he currently uses as a shelter as he currently lives outside in the yard.
If you would like to know more info please don't hesitate to send me a message.

If you are struggling emotionally/mentally or know someone that is have you thought about giving counselling a go? I am a qualified counsellor. I work with both children and adults (specialising in working with children).
I use play and creative therapy when working with children encouraging them to make choices about how their sessions go to build their sense of autonomy and boost their self-esteem.
When working with adults I use a wide range of counselling techniques that meet the needs of individual clients. My sessions are client led, it is my role to work alongside you helping you process thoughts, feelings and emotions as well as supporting you to find solutions to your worries.

I am located in Rangiora but can also offer online sessions if that is more convenient for you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me jane@roomtoreflect.co.nz
