I have just had a bit of a shock
What is the longest time you have had a Bun in Rescue waiting for a Forever Home ?

Saw your post on other thread. That is pretty shocking
2 years. After which I aim to bond them in the 'permanent' group which currently stands at 5 (but has been upto 8). I don't think it is fair to confine rabbits to what we would deem as 'temporary' accommodation after 2 years of waiting for a 'forever' home. I don't know why but we find it really, really difficult to rehome pairs of bunnies. I have had pairs of bunnies waiting for over a year for a loving home. Singles get snapped up really quickly. Even people that come here looking for a pair of bunnies quite often decide to pair up single buns (even though I have to bond) and overlook the already bonded long termers. It doesn't make sense at all but that is just the way it is. I have lots of pairs that are confined to 8ft hutches crying out for homes.
I had a single female in last week that has already been reserved yet I have females in from well over a year ago that are still longingly looking for some love.
Very, very sad.
