One thing I find quite puzzling is the cost of adopting a bun from certain Rabbit Rescues. I understand that to care for these buns until they are re-homed, must cost a great deal of money and I also understand that requesting a "donation" will hopefully stop unsuitable prospective owners. However, I just can't get my head around how Rescues can "pursuade" people to adopt a bun instead of buying one from a pet shop, when in some cases it's going to cost someone double the cost of buying a rabbit in a pet shop.
I have adopted 8 buns from several different Rabbit Rescue's. I have always donated between £25 & £30 per bun and on a couple of occasions I also donated a sack of carrots too.
It's not me that you have to convince with regards to making a donation, I just don't understand how you can pursuade a prospective new owner that they should adopt a rabbit from a rescue, when it's going to cost them double the amount of buying one from a pet store. I don't have kids, but I would imagine that they are quite expensive to raise, so I can see parents preferring to buy a rabbit rather than adopt one.
These are just my thoughts, and just something I've puzzled over for a while, they are not meant to cause offence to anyone.
