So we are a stable household, married with two steady incomes. 2 young DC who don't go without and a nice house. We are always careful with money but make sure we have enough to cover all costs each month. After the mortgage and food shops can't afford many luxuries - no holidays for us etc.
My eldest DC (who is 5) is desperate to get a rabbit.
I am looking at re homing two rabbits from the RSPCA, but I'm worried about the cost. I assume I would need to pay for:
- hutch and run (these look expensive!)
- some kind of indoor cage?
-hay and food
- some kind of monthly vet insurance
- costs to buy the rabbit?
Do the RSPCA charge you? I would love to donate, but after buying the essentials above we'd be skint luxury wise for a couple of months.
I can't imagine rabbits are that expensive to keep? Unless I'm missing something?
I can't help but feel that us adopting a rabbit (who would be deeply loved and cared for) but being a bit skint to start and unable to make a reasonable donation would still be a bette option than a rabbit staying in the RSPCA?
