Not there yet

My rent increases are outpacing my Social Security increases. At this rate it won't be long before I will be moving into my car (a Kia Forte).  I was horribly stressed until I discovered CheapRVLiving on YouTube. Now I see how do-able it is and have started camping so I won't be totally unprepared. (have wanted to camp for a long time anyway.) 
 
I hope to learn more through this forum.

Now, instead of dreading it, I am beginning to look forward to it except I can't decide what to do about my pet rabbit. He would hate living in a cage.

I am beginning to ramble so it's time to say good night.

Let him roam, a cage would take up too much space anyway. $.02

While it can be very sad sometimes rehoming a pet makes sense for the owner and the animal. The humane society is a no kill shelter and they do great work finding good quality homes for all kinds of pets including rabbits.

I actually was able to take my pet wild rabbit to a the zoo in Little Rock Arkansas where they had a good sized island to release him. It was several years ago and I don't even know if it is still there but I would try to find a zoo or park and if tame maybe a petting zoo.

The situation above is an animal sanctuary which is a very different setup than dumping an animal off in just any old park. A domestic animal is not truly a wild animal. It can have a very difficult time surviving in a population of other animals raised in the wild. A sanctuary is supplementing the food and overseeing the health of the animals in that population.

I probably will rehome him, unless I can get a van before I have to go.  My current car is too small and I will have to sleep in a tent.  It just wouldn't be safe for him.

Rascal is a dwarf domestic rabbit, he wouldn't survive in a situation like that.

No I would not "dump" an animal off, I'm sorry if that was the way you understood the situation. I actually arranged to make sure the vets and staff that worked there feed and checked on him as he was introduced to his new environment but being basically wild he adapted quickly. I have seen what happens to animals that are dumped and personally I believe most if not all are eaten or become a problem and are put down in the end. I would never suggest dumping an animal.
