Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
A lot of the things we are encoutering as we run the sanctuary are completely new to us as we have never done anything on this scale before. We have no idea that it would ever grow this big and there doesn't seem to be a manual on how to do it :lol::lol:
We are now having to turn rabbits away on a regular basis and really prioritise the most needy, I hate turning anything away but to lookafter the bunnies properly both physically and financially there obviously has to be a limit.
We now have a sort of "waiting list", on it are 3 bunnies that are all in need of special care, but are safe in rescue/foster places so getting all the care they need.
We have also been approached about taking a number of bunnies from private individuals, where we know that the bunnies aren't getting the care they need
So this is the dilema, which ones do we take in, bearing in mind we only have spaces when one of ours goes to the bridge unless it is a real emergency situation where temporary accomodation is necessary.
Are the ones in rescue first in line as they have been waiting longest, and although they are getting the care they need they are also blocking rescues spaces long term and therefore preventing other bunnies getting help :?
Or should we prioritise the individual bunnies because who knows what will happen to these if they aren't given a space, but is this fair as we have already promised the next available spaces to other rabbits :?
We really don't know the answer to this so any views would be appreciated
