Anyone able to foster? Everything is provided - a great way to see if a rabbit is the right pet for you and your family x
Diamond is still waiting for her foster home. 💛
Everything is provided. We supply the enclosure, cover all vet bills, deliver food to your door, and provide ongoing support. All you need to provide is the space, the love, the care, and a cup of fresh greens each day.
Why is it so hard to find foster families?
Fostering is a wonderful opportunity to help a rabbit in need without the financial commitment of ownership. It’s also a chance to experience what living with rabbits is really like before adopting.
We do, however, need to stress one very important point.
Recently, we had a foster family return their foster rabbits after just 3 weeks because they realised rabbits weren’t the right fit for them. We completely understand that sometimes life doesn’t go to plan, and we’re incredibly grateful they were honest rather than struggling on.
However, it highlighted why we ask for a genuine commitment from our foster families.
Rabbits don’t enjoy being moved from home to home. Every move is stressful, and settling into a new environment takes time. In this case, we were fortunate that the rabbits could return to their previous foster home, where they already felt safe and secure. Sadly, that foster family is moving to Australia, so these rabbits will soon have to move yet again. But what if they weren’t able to take them back? What would we have done? We do not have a shelter. This is all explained on application.
Becoming a foster parent also involves a significant investment from our team. We carefully vet applicants, provide education and support, visit foster homes, supply everything needed, and spend time helping both the foster family and the rabbits settle in. We happily do all of this because it gives the rabbits the best chance of success, but we do ask that anyone applying is ready to make a longer term commitment.
If you’re interested but aren’t yet sure whether long term fostering is right for you, we’d still love to hear from you, but please be honest if you’re unsure you will commit. We regularly need short term foster carers to cover holidays and emergencies, and that’s a fantastic way to help while deciding whether a longer commitment would suit you. We can vet you for short term care instead. You can always decide to foster full time if it goes well.
We know many families, especially children, get excited about having rabbits in the home. But our priority will always be what is best for the rabbits. They deserve stability, consistency, and to feel safe.
We’re only sharing this because we want to prevent it from happening again. Our hearts broke for these rabbits, and we want their next move to be their last until they find their forever homes.
If you can offer Diamond the stable, loving foster home she deserves, we’d love to hear from you. We have 9 rabbits needing to be moved! 5 singles and 2 x pairs 🐇💛
