Welcome to the March, 2006 issue of the House Rabbit Network’s E-Notes.

 

March is National Animal Poison Prevention Month. As the premier animal-oriented poison control center in North America, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center is the best resource for any animal poison-related emergency, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Make the call that can make all the difference: (888) 426-4435. A $55 consultation fee may be applied to your credit card. Visit: http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pro_apcc for more information.

 

Now that Easter is fast approaching we are promoting "Adopt a Retired Easter Bunny". Items are now available on Cafepress to purchase. If you purchase anything from 3/2 to 3/14 they'll take $4 off your $40 purchase. Remember, your purchase helps all the buns at HRN! Hop to it and buy your Easter gifts now at: http://www.cafepress.com/retiredrabbit

 

As part of our pre-Easter campaign we have constructed a Letter to Clergy asking them to speak to their congregations regarding the inappropriateness of giving live rabbits as gifts. The letter and its attachment can be obtained via email if you request it by contacting us at: info@...

 

 

Roxie is a beautiful bunny. She is a mix between a dutch bunny and a mini-rex. She has the velvety soft rex fur, and the dutch markings. Roxie is also prone to being pudgy like many rex rabbits! She loves to eat her pellets, greens and is a good hay eater. Roxie enjoys attention and will flop in her cage when she is happy. She runs around the exercise pen during playtime. Her litter box habits are good.

 

Roxie was originally found wandering the streets of Wakefield last April. She was captured and promptly gave birth to four babies who have all been adopted. Now it is her turn! Do you have a home for her? Roxie can be viewed at: http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/adoption/bunofmonth.shtml

 

Our February Bunny of the Month, Chubby, was adopted!
