We have 2 rabbits male, female and at present 4 babies, We clean the cage regularly, Our residents love cuddling the babies, I wrap them in a hand towel, so they don't scratch, So far all is good,, BUT you have to have their claws clipped if keeping inside, Vet bills, and they should be handled daily, both staff and residents are picking our up heaps of times during the day We have ours in 2 rabbit cages on wheels, I put newspaper on the bottom and then oaten hay a container for pre made food, water and a plastic tray with kitty litter to train them for toileting Residents and staff bring in grass, spinach, kale, apples bananas, so they are used to people
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
