Chester

About Chester

a really gentle sweet little man Chester is a 4 month old lionhead cross rabbit who was born in a foster home with his 4 siblings. He has always known love and kindness and s a very well rounded bun as a result. He is the smallest of his siblings so he needs to wait another few weeks before he’s big enough to be neutered, so we’d love him to go to a foster home who would like to adopt him after his surgery. Chester is too young to be neutered yet so he must go to a foster home until he can come back to the shelter for their surgery. We are planning on booking his neuter surgery for the end of October so he will be on foster until then. We are particularly looking for families to foster with the intention of adopting Chester after his surgery; we call this process ‘fostering-to-adopt’. Thank you for choosing to foster-to-adopt a rabbit from the NSPCA. Please make sure to do your research on how to care for a small animal before considering adopting. We recommend rabbits be kept indoors with an enclosure that’s a minimum of 140 x 60cm with plenty of indoor free roam time. Rabbits require proper housing, bedding, food, enrichment, exercise and vet visits. Small animals are not pets for young children to look after, all the family must be on board to look after and care for any new pet coming into the home. We have seen too many being abandoned so please make sure that you are in a position to look after them and provide them with everything they need. All our rabbits are microchipped and vaccinated and will be spayed once they are ready.
