So just a little background. I'm 21 years oldand have a 1-bedroom apt with my girlfriend. We currently have fivebunnies here; along with one my parents took a liking to and have sinceadopted from us.
None of the buns are fixed (cost issue), so they arecurrently living in separate cages. I love all of them dearly, and Imquite confident that we do a wonderful job raising our babies.
Today during lunch I stopped at the local animal shelter. They hadsomething like 20+ bunnies up for adoption. It got me thinking aboutthe idea of trying to provide a home for a couple of them. On one hand,they certainly would be happier here than at the shelter. Regardless ofhow many rabbits I own, theyll never have to worry about food, water,or shelter. Theyll always be handled at least once a day. However,obviously, every new rabbit I own is going to cut into the othersplaytime with me. I suppose it might prevent me from having thefinancial resources to deal with emergency care, if multiple animalswere to be sick/injured in a short period of time.
So basically, what would you do? I can continue to take great care ofmy current family of buns, or I can try to rescue a couple more. Whatis the right thing to do?
