The only catch? You must be a bunny.
Yes, I’m taking in a shelter bunny this weekend. It’s a bit too soon, but the local shelter is more than full and even sent out their most recent message begging for foster-ers while Pepper was still in hospital. I set up the condo in the kitchen, under the metal shelves where Pepper’s hay rack and litterbox were. That made me cry a little – I miss my sassy little bunny-bitch SOOO much. But there are other buns who need a place – even if it’s just a couple of weeks break from the shelter environment. I miss having somebunny to come home to. I still have LOTS of hay, pellets, and litter and the garden is sprouting again…
So I scrubbed out the kitchen and disinfected everything – it’s unlikely there would be any remaining germs but I wasn’t going to take the chance. Got out the grid-panels and the zip-ties and cobbled together a space about 5-6 ft long, 2-3 ft wide, and about 2 ft tall for most of it with an extension off the end that has a second level. Picked up a new litterbox at the dollar store. Cut some doors into a smallish cardboard box, and attached a basket for chewing and a bell-and-block hanging toy that I had made for Pepper but she ignored. Tossed in a small stuffed bunny in case they want something to groom or push around, and one of the last remaining apple twigs. I still have to bring the supplies back up from the storage locker and make a temporary hay-rack to hang on the side of the cage.
I pick up the bun(s) on Saturday afternoon. They’ve promised to find one that doesn’t look at all like Pepper. I can’t really take on the responsibility for a bun of my own yet – I need to get Pepper’s final vet bills paid first, and save up a bit of extra. But at least for now, I can help somebunny else adjust to proper care and diet, and maybe they can help me heal.

It's going to be so weird getting used to an uppy-eared bun after years with a smoooshy lop-head.
