I DONT TRANSPORT RABBITS TO H/V AIMLESSLY, I ALWAYS INVITE THEM BACK AFTER A HOME CHECK AS BEEN APROVED to bring their bunny for bonding, i do the bonding here i dont adopt rabbits out to be single which is what can happen with leaving the bonding in the hands of the adoptor

i totally agree
BUT if they are not sure then its VERY RUDE to pretend they are after i have already spent aprrox 1.5 hours on going over everything, to then turn round still requesting a h/v which is approved :shock: then not to bother an even worse not say they are not bothering anymore! :twisted: :twisted:

sorry but :lol: :lol: :lol: as if....?! :wink:
You know what...I think I should get one of you rescues to come out and homecheck me :?
I'm sure most of you could find something wrong with my enclosure, especially as its piled with hutches while we refit the shed :? :roll:
Would be useful to now what I could improve :?
Something else I have noticed is Eve has very strong opinions (which isn't always a bad thing :wink: ) Sometimes even her posts scare me a bit and I'm not easily scared
I just guess wasted homechecks are going to be something that needs to be taken into consideration when you run a rescue, especially when you have as many as Eve does :?

What is the process the potential adopters go through? You do the home visit, then I assume you get in touch to tell them whether it's a yay or a nay? What happens next, do you arrange a time there and then on the phone for them to come over, or do you leave it for them to get in touch.
Have these people specifically said they don't want to go through with it (and if so, what reason was given), or have they just failed to contact you to set things up?
One consideration is that if you won't let people reserve buns before a homecheck, has it been the case that the particular rabbit(s) of interest is no longer available? I wouldn't be very happy as a potential adopter to have a homecheck without knowing if at the end of it I'd be able to adopt the bun that I wanted.

In fairness to Eve, she's an absolute pussycat in the flesh :lol: :lol: Plus if people have already visited before the homecheck, they know what to expect and you'd have thought they would just back off at that point if that was the problem :?
Maybe us Essex types are just fickle :lol:

Is that Lucy from RSPCA Wallsall? That's who I went to see to get Treacle!!
Yeah, Eve, you really scared me each time I met you :lol: :lol: :lol: :?
You should charge them for petrol to do the home check!!!!
I think you've probably just had a bad run of luck. Can you get one or two other people to share the home checking with you so you aren't having so much of your time wasted?

I think the problem is things like this go with the territory when you run a rescue...you have to learn to put up with them....sad as it is

Yeah did yo find her a bit scary at first
:lol: :lol: :lol: Well I did a little in her e-mails at first, then they couldn't get a homecheck done as my local RSPCA inspector had his car nicked, so she called me to find out my set up etc. But when I actually went to her house to get Treacle and met her, she was lovely and has a lovely family too.
