Fostering?

Hi :wave:
Just wondering what fostering actually involves? x

Is it just like having your own bun, but if someone wants it they adopt it from you? x
Would the accommodation size for fostering be the same as adopting, and would the rescue let you foster if you had other pets? Eg. cat?

Don't know anything about it really, just looking for some info x
Thanks
 
It all depends on the rescue that you are fostering for, most have slightly different ways of doing things, so your best bet would be to contact your local rescues and find out how they operate.

Some things you could ask are if you are responsiable for vet bills, if you had to pay for the rabbits food/bedding. If they supplied accomidation or not, if you would have to use thier vets.

When I fostered I treated the rabbits just as my own, but sometimes rabbits would need special attention, such as nervous rabbits that needed socialising, or rabbits needing a little extra monitering for health issues, or even mums with litters, but im sure you could let the rescue know what you were or werent comfortable dealing with

Fostering is really rewarding :love:
The best thing to do would be to contact your local rescue, as many rescues work differently.
We (Walsall RSPCA) provide all accommodation, cover all vet bills but you do have to take the foster rabbits to our specified vets, and provide all food and bedding. All we ask is that the foster carer treats the bunny as their own, and gives them the level of love and attention they require whilst they are with you.
Many of our fosterers have other pets, cats, dogs etc. If you already have your own bunnies you will know the precautions you have to take to ensure the bunny remains safe from the other animals in the home.
Good luck :) x
