There's been a few rescue related threads today which has got me thinking.
I would very much like, at some point this year, to adopt a bunny/bunnies from a rescue centre. I love the idea of giving an abused/neglected bunny a second chance and lots of love & cuddles & affection.
Thing is, I have 4 bunnies and not sure how id cope with 6, but that's another bit for later. But I have a few nerves about rescues as I've never adopted before.
I know they all do home checks - if they don't like you and/or don't think your home is suitable for the bunny you're after, does that mean they can take your current bunnies away as you're obviously not treating them properly? If they would rehome a bunny to you, the it follows you're not a suitable bunny owner?
I've also got 4 boys so I'd love a girl bunny, but then I feel guilty as it seems that there are more boys than girls in rescues and it's not fair to deny them just because they're a boy
Again, after my experience with Dexy, I wouldn't want to adopt a poorly bunny, then I feel bad for the overlooked poorly bunnies ditto "aggressive" bunnies - I'm quite nervous of Slipper as he's temperamental and unpredictable and I wouldn't want another one like that.
I wouldn't refuse an elderly bunny though - they are probably more deserving IMO as they've lived longer with abuse/neglect and don't have as much time left to be happy in their new home.
I'd be happy to have 5 buns - but then I'd have to add one into one of my pairs and I know that can be tricky so surely three pairs would be better? Even though I don't have space for three pairs?
Am I just really selfish and too picky? I'd love to rescue a bunny so shouldn't I just be happy to have any bunny :?
Your thoughts peeps?
