hiya there,
my name is becki, i'm 20 years old and have kept rabbits since i was 3. I currently have 5 bunns (3 mini lops, 1 mini rex and 1 british giant). I am a brc member and i do show and breed my lops, but hey they're my babies and pets first and foremost.
What i am asking here is that i have 3 hutches at the moment, in my garden, empty without any planns, they're outside (and all my other buns have now moved into my shed) and measure 4' X 2'. I had no idea what to do with them, till i thought about all the poor lonely bunnies spending christmas in a shelter or rescue. And decided i have the space time and abilities to take one on.
So i was wondering if anyone could give me advice on where to go, do any shelters require foster carers for a short time only, as i'd love to do that (even if i would end up keeping them in the end lol i'm too soft).
I live in the north east (cleveland area) and the only rescue i know of close to me is the RSPCA, i didn't know if any one here could point me somewhere of use.
I don't mind what breed (although i don't really have space for another giant), or temperament as i've dealt with and tamed buns with behavioral problems before (its amazing what a good cuddle can do). I'd be just willing to take the poor littl'un who'd been there the longest and give them a nice happy christmas and a rest of their life.
Just the one buck or doe or a bonded pair. I only want to fill up one hutch (as i still live with my parents they wouldn't let me go out and bring in 6 rescues .... shame like, although i did talk them into letting me keep the mice i rescued.) but if this worked out and everyone was happy then i'd do the same thing next year with the next hutch )
