Well, I have a dilema.
I have been given a two tier hutch by a friend and a folding run. Initially I was just going to take it to a rescue, but after doing a bit of DIY on it and looking at it in the garden I really want to keep it for fostering. I don't want any more rabbits of my own so I thought fostering would ne a nice idea, I'd love to have the chance to look after a mother and babies but I don't think deliberate breeding is a good idea for me, I'd feel a bit selfish.
The thing is Ive got a bit more time on my hands right now but will busy up a bit more come september, when I start my animal care and managemet degree (Im 23 with my own home so theirs no parents or risk of me moving and getting rid)
So right now Id have plenty of time to put effort into finding good homes for foster rabbit/s.
What do people think? Should I get rid of the hutch asap to stop my temptation or help a rabbit needing a home?
And if fostering is a good idea who could I foster for? I would pay for all the 'running' costs but couldnt afford to pay for a spay/neuter.
Do you think this is a good or bad idea???? Help!
