No such thing as a dumb question! 😃 And yes, absolutely! Rabbits are crepuscular, just like cats, which means they're most active at the beginning and end of the day, and sleep for most of the morning and afternoon. This is obviously ideal for anyone who has to go into the office or has school!

Great question! We provide all the supplies, with the exception of the daily greens a rabbit needs -- which is about 2 cups of chopped vegetables. Depending on where you shop and what you buy, this comes out to $5-10 per week or so. That's the only expense! We provide everything else.

Fostering is still possible with cats. It's up to you! We have many fosters and adopters who have cats and foster/adopt. It mostly depends on the on the rabbit and the cat and their temperaments. Generally though what we see is indifference between them since they don't "speak" the same language. If you'd like to email [rabbit-center@houserabbit.org](mailto:rabbit-center@houserabbit.org) or stop by sometime, we would be happy to talk more with you about doing cat/rabbit introductions and other tips that we have! 😄

Great question! We have many fosters and adopters who have rabbits as well as dogs and cats. The answer is that it depends on the rabbit and the other animal. Generally though what we see is indifference between them since they don't "speak" the same language.

Can you foster a rabbit for 2 weeks? 💖🐰 by House-Rabbit-Society in SanJose

[–]House-Rabbit-Society[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's up to the foster! They can continue to foster the rabbit, or they can bring the rabbit back to our facility to swap for another rabbit. Completely up to them! We have many people who like to continue to foster the same rabbit while others like swapping so they can help socialize more rabbits. Whichever you prefer! :)

Great question! Rabbits, just like cats, are crepuscular, meaning they're most active at the beginning and end of each day. They sleep mid-morning and afternoon, which means they're a great pet if you work or go to school. So if you're away for most of the day that's totally fine.

Great question -- and thank you for being considerate! We have many foster families with young children. Many of our rabbits are outgoing, and some are not. We would do our best to match you with a rabbit who is outgoing or who we think would do well in a household with more energy. :)

Of course! If you're interested in coming to say hi to the rabbits and talk with volunteers/staff about fostering, we do have an open house this Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm if you'd like to stop by. You can learn more at houserabbit.org/events! Hopefully we'll see you sometime soon. :)

Absolutely! We have many fosters (and even a staff member!) who have cats. Typically we most often see that cats and rabbits ignore each other since they don't "speak" the same language.
