Why the Böblingen author doesn't let rabbits into the house!

In a humorous article from Böblingen, Ulrich Stolte addresses the dislike of animals in the house, in particular his resistance to the school rabbit Leo, who was once in the care of the caretaker. Although the author's daughter asks to take over the rabbit, he remains determined not to let Leo into his home. The column offers insight into the challenges that pets pose and combines these with personal experiences of the author, who advocates against keeping animals indoors. This makes readers smile and at the same time makes them think about the topic of how pets can enrich or complicate family life, as Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports.

Numerous institutions have come together on the topic of rabbit adoption and species-appropriate keeping to offer animals in need a new home. The Böblingen animal welfare team in particular gives animal-loving people the chance to adopt rabbits like Lumi, Mell or the siblings Pebbles and Raffaelo. It is important to ensure that rabbits are not kept alone, but are always lent out in pairs or to an existing group. Anyone interested can contact Böblinger Tierschutz directly and must then submit a self-disclosure, which includes, among other things, dimensions and pictures of the enclosure.

Rabbit placement and responsibility

Adopting rabbits from shelters is not only a way to help animals, but it also helps create new space for other animals in need. The Tierschutzliga emphasizes that the costs for adoption vary between 15 and 30 euros, depending on the age and characteristics of the animal. Every placement is carried out carefully: a personal examination of the new owner is usually supplemented by preliminary checks to ensure that the future living conditions meet the needs of the rabbit.

The animal welfare organizations are not only intermediaries, but also contacts for the new owners who may need support and advice after the adoption. A protection contract for species-appropriate husbandry is concluded in order to ensure long-term and responsible animal husbandry.

In summary, keeping rabbits brings both challenges and joy. The decision to take in an animal should be carefully considered to do justice to both sides - both the people and the animals.
