So excited to have my first foster! (Pictures added)

Wise Old Thumper
I have only been keeping rabbits for around nine months and am totally and utterly hooked! I have two of my own, a spayed female called Millie, who I got from a free to a good home ad, and a neutered male called Floppy. They were in a trio with a wee girl called Mittens but unfortunately she had to be put down due to not thriving regardless of lots of treatment.

When I got Millie I also got a fair sized rabbit hutch with an attached run. I also have a large separate run which lives in the front garden and I have an enclosed back garden which my rabbits have free access to during the day. When I had bonded all the rabbits I had a spare hutch and, as I'm sure many people will understand, felt it needed filled! I got in touch with a local rescue organisation and they were looking for foster homes.

On Thursday, Simba, a golden brown lionhead rabbit, came to stay. I will have him till his vaccs are up-to-date and he's been neutered. I've nursed both of mine through their neuters and hope this experience will help to make sure his operation and recovery go smoothly. After that he will hopefully go on to be adopted. I have 3 children who are all excited about having him an helping him to be socialised ready to be adopted.

I just love the feeling that I am helping out and making life better for this bunny and hopefully many more in the future.

Aww congratulations :D I'm sure you'll be a brill bunny foster mummy! You'll have to post pictures of the cutie when he arrives! Hope all goes well with his neuter, etc!
 
Fostering is great, well done you.
It can be a good idea to take pics of them & start an album.
Then if you are feeling a bit down when a bun finds a home or goes back to the rescue you can look at your album & think wow - I helped save all these rabbit lives.
Hope things go really well :)
 
Aww - i bet it's such a nice feeling! I wish we had the space to do such a good thing. xx

He is so cute and really comfortable being held. My own two are desperate to meet this newcomer and keep going over to the hutch, trying to get in.
 
Oh Simba, you are a very handsome little fella. Love the way you have your fur at such a jaunty angle over your face. :lol:

Have a lovely time with your foster Mum.
