Pauli moved from the allotment garden to the rabbit hutch at Gut Aiderbichl
The three-year-old Pauli is a beautiful white dwarf rabbit with black ears and black-rimmed little eyes.
Pauli lived with his friend for some time with his owners in the allotment garden. Life was like paradise until one day Pauli's friend passed away and the owners wanted to stop keeping rabbits. A Aiderbichler became aware of Pauli, who was offered on Ebay.
Keeping rabbits alone - the partner has died
No rabbit should have to live alone because its partner has died. Apart from the fact that keeping rabbits alone violates animal welfare laws, being alone leads to great loneliness, which often manifests itself in behavioral disorders and diseases.
Pauli naturally said goodbye to his dead friend. Surely he sniffed his friend, licked him and only after some time noticed that he no longer reacts to his caresses.
Some rabbits stop eating out of grief, withdraw and seem uninterested in their surroundings. Many animals become quieter after losing their friend, move less, gain weight and some die after a while. Pauli should be lucky ...
With Pauli and all the other rabbits in the rabbit house of Iffeldorf no boredom arises
The acclimation phase has gone well and Pauli has now found his "fixed place" among the many rabbits. He cuddles with his fellow rabbits in the fresh hay and nibbles lettuce leaves, carrots, and everything that makes up the healthy diet of a rabbit. Boredom does not arise at all, because our rabbits have a lot to "talk" with each other. They are as curious as humans, but also angry, tense, anxious, stressed, sad or just happy. They communicate via sounds and also warn each other of enemies: by tapping their hind legs.
Pauli and all his new friends love to relax and just doze off. These are the moments that mean they don't want to be disturbed. They lie down on their sides and stretch all fours from their bodies with pleasure. This means "I feel comfortable and safe".
A little more patience and all the rabbits can go out into the rabbit enclosure. Here Pauli can compete with the others in digging, hiding, running around or just dozing in the sun.
Let's wish our Pauli a happy, healthy life among all his fellow cats - if you are looking for him: he has black ears and very dark eyes.
All life, all sentient beings are fundamentally the same, sentient beings.
