What to Expect as a Foster
Q: Can my current bunny share space with my foster bunny?
A: Unless you are trying to do a foster to adopt- we do not recommend putting bunnies that you do not intend to bond in a shared space. This is for the safety of every bunny, as well as minimizing their stress levels. Bunnies do not enjoy play dates like dogs typically do.
Q: What space is needed to house the bunnies?
A: A minimum space of 30”x30”x24” is required for a 5-6 lb. adult bunny, including a litterbox, food bowl, water bowl or bottle, and toys.
Q: How long do bunnies stay with a foster?
A: Bunnies can stay in foster care anywhere from a few days to a few months, depending on the situation.
Q: Is there a minimum age requirement to foster?
A: While we recommend households with children over 8 years old, it ultimately depends on the level of care the parents are willing to provide. Bunnies require delicate care, and even fostering requires attention to detail. We recommend reading “House Rabbit Primer” by Lucille Moore for more information as it is our favorite book for educating on rabbit care needed.
Q: What if we need to go out of town while fostering the bunnies?
A: If you need to go out of town or if fostering is no longer feasible, you can always return the bunnies to us. We appreciate the time and care you provide during fostering, understanding that it is meant to be temporary.
A Foster Success Story
Muffin and Sugar were found abandoned outside in the summer heat. When they first arrived, they were terrified of humans.
Through patience and love, they learned to trust. Muffin in particular, blossomed into a playful and affectionate bunny with a big personality.
Their foster family fell in love- and gave them their forever home. This is what fostering makes possible.
