the basingstoke site is http://freespace.virgin.net/r.g/
I have had a rummage around and found the following on this site. -
looks like no restrictions. Mind you, I would contact the pets helpline
to be certain that this fact is known at the point of entry!

Pet rabbits and rodents
>From 3 July 2004 the following will apply:
· When imported into the UK from another EU country or from Andorra,
Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland or the
Vatican there will be no rabies requirements. This means that currently
there are no requirements for these animals when entering the UK from
these countries. The EU may impose conditions on the movement of these
animals at a later date.
· Animals from these countries will be able to enter the UK on any route
at any point of entry.
· Animals in quarantine in the UK which came from any of these countries
will become eligible for early release.
· When imported into the UK from any other country, animals must be
licensed into quarantine for 6 months. The EU may revise this
requirement at a later date.
Further information
We have now issued new fact sheets on the EU Regulation and the rules
for travelling with dogs and cats. Further fact sheets on ferrets and
other species will be available shortly. We will continue to update this
website with more information as it becomes available. Please contact
the PETS Helpline
<http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/pets/contacts.htm> if you
need further information.
