How soon should i get in touch with a rescue if i've seen a pair i like? For those who don't know, I get married 2 weeks today and we promised ourselves we would get buns after the honeymoon. We are not completely set up yet, but will be purchasing a 6' happy hutch/run combo. we would like to get the buns before xmas so i was wondering how long the whole adoption process takes?

I rang up for my girls about a week before we got to see them. We had ordered all the hay, feed, hutch etc and we left it at that. I thought they wouldn't be there for the next week, but I phoned up when we were fully ready and they were still available, and we went and viewed them the next day. And we collected them 4 days later. Quite quick process.

it seems to happen really quick... i went to see a rescue on the 13th, reserved a bun, had my house check on the tuesday.... had she been ready i could have probably had her home by now but shes not ready till wednesday (post spay) and the rescue is busy with other bondings from tomorrow... Alvin is booked in to meet his new wife on Saturday so two and a bit weeks here they better get on the waiting is killing me....

I'm currently fostering a gorgeous bonded pair for Honeybunny. She rehomes nationally if you're interested - a 'bunny run' could hopefully be arranged. You can see them at http://www.rabbitrehome.org.uk/moreinfo.asp?RabID=9219
Can send you more photos/details if you like - just PM me! They really are a lovely pair and would really love to see them go to a loving, permanent home.

alternatively if you have seen a pair you really like, let the rescue know your situation and they may keep hold of them for you, good luck finding them, i have a gorgoeus pair of foster girls, but am in southampton so a bit far from you! xx Jess
