Being a rescue I find you help a lot more rabbits. As in a year you take in more bunnies than a sanctuary. I also think rescue's spend less on vet fee's in average. As Sanctuary's take on ill bunnies. I'm not rich and can't afford a billion bunnies otherwise I would have them all :lol:
I'm doing both- it's just someone mentioned that it would be a good idea to choose one or the other.
Thanks for sharing your views x
Personally I don't see why you can't do both. Just have your sanctuary buns kept separate, and keep a numbered limit.
Thanks I like that idea. I love helping sick buns get better.
Since becoming a sanctuary I don't take on any healthy rabbits...although I have taken a few in who would otherwise have been PTS simply because they had dental problems.
I also have some rabbits who came in poorly, but have recovered to full health...and babies who I have handreared and decided to keep.
If you are thinking of doing sanctuary work rather than rescue, I'd advise you to build up numbers slowly...stuff like medicating multiple rabbits, or finely chopping/grating lots of veg takes more time than you'd imagine.
here's a stupid question from a very emotional person - how do sanctuary people stay sane and not spend all day crying? with so many ill bunnies, I am imagining you have to deal with more being pts than just rescues. I think that would crack me up, you must have to be emotionally very strong.
