Our Rabbit Co-ordinators are central to the success of our new plan. Each Rabbit Co-ordinator will be aligned to a small group of foster carers. When a rabbit is placed with a foster carer, the Rabbit Co-ordinator will be in touch within a few days to discuss the rabbits care plan. Through this informal chat, which may happen by phone, video call, messenger, WhatsApp – or whatever tool works for you both, the Rabbit Co-ordinator and Foster Carer will chat about the rabbits' health, behaviour, diet, temperament, likes and dislikes and together they will agree on a Care Plan for each rabbit. The Rabbit Co-ordinator will help identify appointments needed at The Bunny Bothy and advise the foster carer of any vet appointments that should also be booked. The Rabbit Co-ordinator will record the entire care plan within Shelter Manager, our online software for managing all our rabbit and adoption records. So all the management team, care teams and Bunny Bothy teams will be able to see exactly what is happening and when for that rabbit. The Rabbit Co-ordinator’s will ensure accurate, consistent recording of data throughout the process. And after that chat, they also know more about the rabbits too – so they will help ensure we have an accurate bio in place for sharing on the website and social media too.
