Welcoming Other Program Members

We have been getting letters like this lately: Hello there. I wonder if I might want to be part of your organization. I took the long course and test for Pet Partners/The Delta Society and passed but I do not wish to put my rabbit on a leash and I found out now that is a requirement. Would you consider accepting that I took and passed their test along with a generous donation so I could be part of your organization? Thank you in advance for your help.

YES--we welcome other program members! If you are interested in becoming a BIB VRT (Visiting Rabbit Team) please contact us by email at info@bunniesinbaskets.org. Usually, the $20 two year BIB fee, a copy of the other organization's registration and application paperwork, and a copy of your medical exam are all that are needed!

We try to save money, but many people have asked about official BIB "stuff" lately. Although we would LOVE to order a bunch of cool "stuff", it just doesn't make $$ sense. BIB emblazoned blankets, scarves, shirts, etc......heck, we'd love our brand of hand sanitizer, tissues....that would be great, BUT VERY EXPENSIVE.

Most of our VRTs also work hard to rescue, foster, rehabilitate and provide for shelter rabbits all over the country (and Canada,too). It isn't fair to offer an expensive line of "stuff" when that money can stretch so much farther.

Our new new iron on patches (coming soon) will be a perfect compromise. They can be ironed on blankets, scarves, shirts, jackets, etc....as well as on the baskets/carriers. They are official. The matching stickers can go on hand sanitizers, tissues, and more.

It will be easy to identify a BIB VRT! We plan to sell the patches and stickers at our cost, and hopefully, everyone will buy a few. :)

BIB Registration Charges

Question: I'm concerned. Why do you charge so little for your registration compared to the larger organizations? $20-----how do you pay your bills?

This is a frequent question. How DO we do it---and most importantly, are the Visiting Rabbit Teams (VRTs) "getting what they pay for" in terms of comprehensive insurance coverage for visiting?

Here are our answers. We have the exact same type of coverage as the much larger AAI/AAT organizations. However, since BIB ONLY includes rabbits, the policy costs are less. We have no paid staff. We have no rent. We are so absolutely grateful for the donations we receive throughout the year that, along with fees, cover our operating costs. We operate efficiently and transparently. Most of our office supplies are either donated or purchased from resale shops. We have no loans to repay.
We look at our vision and our bank account and then work to not waste a single penny.

BIB exists because we LOVE rabbits, and we LOVE people.....and we absolutely believe we can improve the lives of both through our BIB visits. Click Here to see our insurance policy information---and feel free to share it with facilities! :)
