The Unglamorous - but Important - Job of Cleaning Foster Rabbit Cages

By Beck B.

Did you know that Friends of Rabbits has a network of about 20 homes that foster rabbits? 3 of the largest foster homes have upwards of 20 rabbits at a time. Fostering that number of rabbits requires a lot of work to keep the rabbits’ habitats tidy and safe. Foster rabbits have about 20 square ft or more of space, so cleaning multiple habitats several times a week can be a big job. Some of our FoR volunteers offer their time to help clean the ‘bunny pools’ at Susan’s home in Columbia. It is a great way for volunteers to socialize with some of the rabbits, but they provide a critical service. Giving helping hands to the fosterers allows us to keep taking in rabbits when the rest of the foster network is at capacity. Please consider helping by volunteering some time to spend with the rabbits and cleaning.
