Fostering a bunny can bring up a lot of questions. Below are answers to help you understand what to expect when you become a foster parent for Everybunny Counts
Fostering means opening your home and heart to a foster rabbit in need until they are healthy, spayed/neutered, vaccinated against RHDV2, and ready to find their forever family. Many of our foster bunnies come from neglect or abandonment situations and are simply looking for safety, patience, and love. You’ll be giving them a true second chance at life.
Fostering should cost you little to nothing. Everybunny Counts provides all initial supplies except for fresh produce and rugs. We can also ship supply refills to you or reimburse you for hay, food, toys, and litter through PayPal.
Not at all! We’ll teach you everything you need to know about foster rabbit care. All we ask is that you review our care resources before completing your foster application.
If you’re medically experienced, you can apply as a medical foster to help with oral or subcutaneous medications, wound care, and extended grooming.
Unfortunately no, we cannot accept fosters that reside outside Connecticut at this moment.
It depends on the health of the foster bunny and the adopters’ interest. Generally, foster bunnies may stay for a few months to a year.
If you need vacation coverage or can’t continue fostering, we will always find someone else to take the foster bun for you.
Everybunny Counts covers all medical expenses through our partner clinics and donations. We typically use Star Meadow Animal Clinic in Farmington, CT. Fosters are asked to transport their rabbits when possible; if not, a volunteer can help with transport. Each foster rabbit generally has two appointments — one for intake and one for spay/neuter.
Contact us immediately. We’ll provide guidance and help arrange the care your foster bunny needs.
We ask that fosters provide a safe 4×5 ft playpen area and bunny-proof the space (especially removing or protecting wires and cords). The goal is to give your foster bunny room to hop, stretch, and play comfortably.
That’s what we call a "foster fail" and we love those! You’ll always have first priority if you want to adopt.
If fostering isn’t working out, contact us right away. We’ll handle the transfer and make sure your foster bunny is cared for.
That’s perfectly fine! Just include everyone in your household on your foster form so we can make the right match.
Foster bunnies cannot interact with other household rabbits. Our foster rabbits have not been spayed/neutered yet, and their hormones may cause the bunnies to fight. For everyone's safety, they must be kept separate.
Interactions with other pets should be closely supervised to ensure our foster bunnies' safety.
Absolutely! You can support Everybunny Counts by volunteering, donating supplies, or sharing our adoptable bunnies online. Every bit of help makes a difference.
