Think of it as sharing your bunnies. I would love that option... Sharedcustody!
In many areas even short term fostering will help, so if your home forthe holidays and can take them back for a couple of weeks, that justmay be enough to free up space in the bunny chain to save anotherbunny's life.
Here's hoping your new landlords are as understanding (or justuncaring, actually) as mine. I'm in a no-pets building withthree cats and five bunnies.:biggrin:
