Welcome to the March edition of the House Rabbit Network e-bulletin!
We are pleased to announce several education days coming up this month:
- On March 10, HRN will have an information booth at Especially for Pets in Medway, MA from 12-3 pm. Small animal nail trims will be available for a $5 donation so if your bunny’s nails are getting on the long side, here’s your chance to get them seen to! For some family fun, there will be an Easter Egg Hunt (for a small donation) as well as a coloring contest.
- On March 17, we will be at Animal Spirit – a health food store for pets – also from12-3 pm. Animal Spirit is located at 2348 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, MA.
- The next day, on March 18, our booth will be at Pet Source in Stow, MA from 11am-2pm
- March 24, Especially for Pets, Sudbury, MA, 11am-2pm
- March 31, Especially for Pets, Wayland, MA, 11am-2pm
Please stop by to visit us. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about rabbits and rabbit care. We will also have information about available rabbits - however, rabbits are never adopted out on site.
Easter is now approaching. Sadly, this is a time when many baby rabbits are purchased on impulse and then abandoned a few months later at shelters (or worse, released into the wild where they most likely perish). Please do what you can to educate the public and encourage them not to buy rabbits. HRN has flyers covering the reality of Easter Bunnies which you can print out and post at libraries, cafes, and other places.
Moving on to our Bunny of the Month. This month we are actually showcasing a dual act. Please meet Chloe and Clover, a sweet pair of sisters. http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/adoption/bunofmonth.shtml
They both like to be petted and quickly put their heads down for a buffing. Chloe and Clover are very pretty – their photograph does not do them justice! They are extremely playful and love to run around the exercise pen. The girls will race through the tubes and do binkies for
you! Ever curious, they are usually at the edge of their cage to check things out, and quickly beg for a treat if they think they can get some out of you. They are excellent hay eaters and have great litter box habits. Since they are slightly larger girls, all they need is an extra large cage, play time and someone to love them. Maybe that person is you!
And finally, don’t forget to renew your membership! If you are not a member, please consider becoming one. Your tax deductible donation will be used for medical costs (spays/neuters, vet bills) and educational expenses. With your yearly membership you will receive copies of our newsletter, Rabbit Tracks, when they are published. Currently there are three issues per year. Our memberships run from April 1 until March 31st. HRN memberships run from April l to March 31 (monies paid in January/February will be credited to the next year). http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/join.shtml
