Annual Checkups for
Buns
We would like to remind everyone that your rabbits should visit
their veterinarian every year for a check up. If they haven't been
in for a while, make that appointment today! Rabbits are animals of
pray that tend to hide their symptoms. Your veterinarian may pick
up on things that you can't see, and also get a baseline for future
visits.
April bunny of the month is Starla!
Starla is a friendly bunny. She is very energetic, racing and playing
during her exercise time. She also likes to explore. Starla will
rearrange her cage. She likes to be petted and soaks up the attention.
When happy, she will flop on her side. Starla has excellent litter box
habits. While she is sweet, Starla also has some spunk! You can
definitely tell when she is happy. When she as at the
shelter, her name
was Starbuck. We decided she is too much of a lady for that name, and
changed it to Starla. That does fit, because she should be a star!
Starla arrived into foster care and a few hours later gave birth to a
litter of babies. (We don't breed rabbits, however sometimes we get
bunnies in who are very pregnant) They are 4 beautiful girls that look
exactly like mom. Look for them in June, after they have been spayed.
