I hope I have this in the right section?
I don't actually have a rabbit (or two!) yet so am trying to find out as much info as possible before going ahead. Just looking today I've seen loads of rabbits very cheaply or free to good homes in the classifieds but I've also been looking on some of the rabbit rescue centres. I can't look too much otherwise I fall in love with their faces!!!! :lol:
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what type of things a rescue centre would look for if I was thinking of rehoming a rabbit?
Basically we're a young family with 2 parents, 2 children and 2 cats! The rabbit(s) wouldn't be able to be house rabbits but I'm hoping to custom build an outside hutch/enclosure for him/her/them so that they have the maximum space to move around that I can give. I'm a stay at home mum so I'm around alot and would want them to really become part of the family and be handled alot.
My 2 children are very young. Would this put off rescue centres? Also, would the cats be a problem?
Also, are you expected to pay a donation or fee? Is there normally a contract to sign? And (finally!) would I have to have an annual check?
I expect different rescue places have different criteria but I just mean generally.
Thankyou!
