Findus

Findus tells his story ...

“You want to know where I came from? Did I hop away or did someone abandon me? I’d say that remains my secret.”

The Aiderbich animal carers gave him the name Findus. Every animal at Gut Aiderbichl is given a name. This allows the animals to familiarise themselves with the voices and people, for example when it says: “Hello Findus. Well, are you all right?”. Building trust sometimes takes time. Findus didn’t make it difficult for us to get to know him.Upon arrival, the rabbit was given a health check and it was discovered that Findus had not been neutered. The ears, teeth and legs were fine.“Yes, so everyone around me was talking so cleverly, then I was put in a – I think they call it a box – and taken to a so-called veterinary clinic.
Then I lost the thread for a while – I don’t know, but after I got the thread back, something was different. It said I was now neutered! Never mind. No idea. I’m fine here!”

For some time now, Findus the rabbit has been happily and confidently hopping around the rabbit warren. Every now and then, Findus has a little rabbit race with his friend Karuso. Sometimes one wins, then the other.

“There are some really beautiful rabbits here. I particularly like Snowflake. She told me that she lived in a family because the children wanted a rabbit. In the beginning they spent a lot of time with her, but more and more the children lost interest in Snowflake. So she was brought to Gut Aiderbichl by the father of these children. When she tells this story, she hides her sad eyes behind her long fur hair. Even if many people don’t want to believe it – we rabbits have feelings and feel joy and sadness.”
