"You can't say, that helping hares has become a completely unexpected thing in my life. Really, I am not a biologist by education and my family is not connected with this, but there were always pets in the house. Besides, I had acquaintances biologists and trainers, who care for wild animals. I interacted with wolves a lot, owls, hawks. therefore, when the opportunity arose to take a hare, there was a certain spirit of excitement - I'll take it and see, that will continue. At first I perceived him as a kind of rabbit, But it turned out not to be so.”, - the girl recalls.

Raising a rabbit at home is a very difficult task.. Christina learned this from her own experience., and communication with other owners of hares, who met online. realizing, that a huge number of these animals are dying because, that the people who picked them up just don't know, how to help them, the girl decided to help them herself. So gradually appeared, and then the “House of the Hare” expanded. Now they bring eared people from all over the country.

Zaitsev, like other wild animals, really hard to keep in captivity, and even more so in a city apartment. But most often, according to Christina, people just don't think about it:

"Good, when the found hare is sent immediately to us, but, usually, people themselves are trying to feed him and keep him as a pet or raise and release him into the wild. Both options are practically impossible.. Feeding a rabbit is very difficult., because their diet is specific - they are not suitable for infant formula or cow's milk. Any oversight, any disease is almost one hundred percent fatal for an animal. If, nevertheless, a person managed to raise a hare, and he'll try to let him loose, then it won't work. The animal grew up in an enclosed space, not on a natural diet, talked to a person, and here he is simply sent to live in the forest without any preliminary preparation. It is very cruel and such an animal cannot survive in nature.”.

Caring for hares takes up all the free time of a young girl, but it makes her happy. While her peers are having fun, Christina is engaged in a very laborious and complex business., which she calls just a hobby:

"I have, like many, work with a standard schedule - 5 working days in a week. I come back in the evening after work and go to feed everyone, treat everyone. I spend weekends at home, I'm on the street from morning to night, working with hares in aviaries. And nowhere, of course, can't go away for a long time. But I have nothing to complain about. Some people say: "Well, what about the sea?». And I don't even want, I like this is my hobby. The closest and true friends were found in this area and they fully approve of this activity.. Parents are not actively involved, but treated with understanding.

Christina's hobby requires more than just time, but also high financial costs.. The rehabilitation center does not have any state or major sponsorship and exists only on the salary of its founder and the help of volunteers.

"For the maintenance of one hare, living in the center permanently, spends about 1500 a month. It's just for food. To provide them with medical care, they have to turn to narrow specialists., Finding a veterinarian who works with wild animals is very difficult.. Respectively, it is also quite expensive. I am very grateful to all the volunteers and my friends, who support me. But at the same time, I try to always rely on my abilities., so I always think how many animals I can take, bring up, contain, relying on their own finances", - says the girl.

As a specialist in raising and keeping hares in captivity, Christina couldn't help but notice., that the number of these animals in nature is falling at a catastrophic rate. This situation is observed not only in our country.:

“There are hare rehabilitation centers in England, Australia and Germany. I communicate with colleagues and, Unfortunately, the number of hares is declining around the world. In England, they have already decreased by 80 percent, in Russia for 61. This happens for several reasons - the treatment of fields with herbicides, poaching, stray animals. Mainly, of course, consequence of the development of agro-industry. The fields are plowed, farmers spread rodent poisons. In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Stavropol region constantly find a lot of corpses of wild animals in the fields. But then it goes up the food chain - predators die further. And these poisons end up causing considerable harm to human health.”.

Finally, we asked Christina to give advice to everyone, who will find the hare and count, that he needs help.

“Usually people find rabbits just walking through the woods.. Not finding a mother nearby, they think, that the hare was abandoned and taken away. But in fact, the hares at this time run around their site, which can be about two hectares. Feed the offspring they return once a day. Mother and babies meet in the same place at the same time. Human, who saw such a hare should pretend, that did not notice him and just pass by. Even iron, touching and taking pictures with him is undesirable, because that way you expose it to predators. If you saw him in an open area, then you can move it to the bushes. Do not be afraid, the hare will not smell the human smell from him and will definitely find him later..
