    Foster FAQs

    How much space do I need?

    Plan to have a 4x4 pen as a rabbit’s personal space. This space should include soft blankets, a litter box with unlimited hay, a “hidey house” or two, a bowl for pellets, a bowl for water, and toys. More information on ideal rabbit setups can be found in the video below.

    How do I “bunny proof” my home?

    Move houseplants high enough that rabbits cannot reach them, move cords out of reach or cover them with cord protectors, and putting other chewable items like books out of reach of your foster rabbit. 

     

    I have other animals, such as a dog or cat. Can I still foster?

    Yes! Oftentimes, indoor cats and rabbits get along well. Some dogs and rabbits also get along. However, you know your animals best-do your animals have a strong prey instinct? If so, a foster rabbit may not be the best fit. Are your animals more laid back? Then it might be a match! When introducing any animals, it’s best to facilitate slow, supervised introductions. 

     

    How long is the foster period?

    We ask that fosters commit to a three-month period but understand that that may not be possible in certain situations. Contact us to talk more about foster timeframes.
