The loss of Stitch has made me realise that disabled or old bunnies dont need to be PTS or live a life of misery. Although I am still very tender about my loss for a long time I have wanted take in fosters and rehome them.
I believe the better option (for me) will actually be to open a very small sanctuary for between 4-6 rabbits.
I intend to spend the next year composing a research folder and paying off personal debt and I hope to be ready to open the sanctuary in 2010.
I have contacted my vets for details of cost for all the common problems and PM's Hugo's There so will hopefully get some valued advice there
It may seem very silly to ask, but I want to ensure I cover all possibilities in my research folder so providing someone else hasn't mentioned the same before you please feel free to give your advice or at least what you feel I need to research.
I will not be a rescue and will not allow people who I do not know into my house so the first thing I would like to know is how does it affect house insurance?
I would also love advice on set ups both outdoor and in and if there are any part time rabbit savvy courses I could take.
Fundraising tips are always good and perhaps at what point would it be suitable to begin funsraising?
What you feel are classed as disabled or elderly buns?
Good websites to either make(DIY Guides)/buy sheds, hutches and runs
Back up funds? How much for say 4 buns?
How you would take in the buns, i.e through RSPCA, other rescue who cant cope, vets recc, RU in need or freeads etc.
I'm also self employed so although I work I also have time throughout the dat to take care of animals. I am never out of my house for more than 5 hours, unless I've got a very rare day out!!
I do go on holiday sometimes but my mum lives a minutes walk from me and she is always happy to help as she doesn't work. However if for some reason she could not do a specific week what is the best cover to hire in or take the buns to for that time?
I'll reiterate what I said above. I'm not rushing into anything, the next year is purely research as I intend to also pay off some debt.
I do however hope to find another bun in need in a few months as downstairs is soo very lonely without Stitch
Thanks in advance
