Does anyone foster bunnies or have a rescue? Questions.

It’s been almost a month since I’ve been on here, as many of you know our sweet Bernie passed away on 4/23. I’ve struggled a lot with grief this past month but what has helped me is helping with local rabbit rescues, there aren’t a ton in my area but I found it really helpful when I donated his hay, pellets & bedding & helped with some Amazon wish lists for bunnies in need. I transported a handful of rabbits from one rescue to another this week and it was so fun holding a bunny again & being helpful. I Miss our little one so much 💔 Anyway, I don’t know if I’d ever be able to adopt a bunny again, I’d be so scared of something terrible happening again, but I thought it would be nice to maybe foster one day? I don’t have a ton of room though. For you foster parents, do you just have big x pens for them? Obviously if you have multiple at once they can’t all just free roam together. I’m wondering how you do it? I’m not sure I’m ready yet but the rescues both said when & if im ever ready to foster, they are always needing foster families! I’m just not sure I could give them up too , would I get too attached ?? Idk , how do you do this? I wish I could start a rescue but we live in a small house right now and I have no idea how to start something like that. Any info appreciated!

❤️🐰💔 Just wanted to thank this Reddit community for your kindness and sweet words for our loss. It’s amazing how anonymous strangers have so much more compassion and empathy with pet loss and grief compared to a lot of family & friends and I just really appreciate it all. This is one of the only places that make me feel better and I can re-read all the amazing messages about Bernie. Just wanted to share that with you all.*** thank you❤️🌈

Lost our sweetheart at only 7 months old last Thursday, after he suddenly got sick, he was the most special little thing, we were a first time bunny family. He and my teenage daughter shared a really special bond instantly when we surprised her with him as an early Christmas gift last November. Just wanted to share with you all that he existed, he was the fluffiest little being of pure love and goodness and so very loved in our home and we are shattered without him. 💔🐰🌈
