Hopefully I should be getting a new rescue bun within the next few weeks :D
The rescue don't vaccinate, I would get the bunny vaccinated straight away but wondering how long would you suggest to keep him/her away from my own buns ?
The new bun will hopefully be bonded with my twosome outside.
 
How long do the rescue quarantine from on arrival?

I would suggest a minimum of one week.
 
I can't quarantine new bunnies, so I ask the rescue organisation to vaccinate and then keep the bunny for another 2 weeks. That doesn't obviously cover you for all diseases, but it will at least more or less guarantee that your new bunny doesn't carry myxi or VHD.

Can you ask the rescue to vaccinate the bun before you pick it up? If you pay for the vacs it could at least be done for VHD..then you could pick it up a week later and would only need to wait another week before mxyi'ing it????
 
I try to keep the new arrivals away from the longer stay ones or my own for a minimum of 2 weeks as you can never tell what shows up e.g my british giant
 
Thanks for the replys, I'll get bun vaccinated and leave him away from my own for 2 weeks...
I could ask the rescue to vaccinate if I pay but theres things I cant go into on this forum, it wouldn't be possible for the person to vaccinate and I couldn't leave the bun there for 2 weeks without me worrying myself to death(wish I could explain more to you but I can't on this forum)
