Welcome to the April edition of the House Rabbit Network e-bulletin!

 

HRN is calling on everyone who shops at Shaw’s or Star Market to hang on to all their register receipts! We are participating in a fundraiser whereby Shaw’s will donate to HRN one percent of the total value of receipts collected. So for the foreseeable future, please ask your friends, colleagues, and family to pass on their receipts. They should be mailed to P.O. Box 2602, Woburn, MA 01888-1102. Funds raised will go towards the medical expenses of HRN’s foster bunnies.

 

House Rabbit Network has several events coming up in the next month. First, we will be holding the following education days:

 

• April 21 - Animal Spirit, 2348 Mass Ave Cambridge MA, 12-3 pm

• May 5 - Sweet Meadow Farm, Sherborn MA, 12-3 pm

 

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 of available rabbits - however, we do not adopt out on site.

 

We will also be at the New England Animal Rights Workshop on April 14. This will be held at the Public Library in Shrewsbury, MA. HRN is scheduled to speak from 12:30-1:00 pm on PetCo's recent decision to start selling rabbits.

 

Easter is now upon us, a time when, sadly, many baby rabbits are impulsively bought for children. Many of HRN’s bunnies were dumped in shelters, and eventually came to us, as a result of this. Can you help spread the word about HRN’s “Adopt A Retired Easter Bunny” campaign? You can do this by printing out and hanging up our flyers. There are two different versions, one with pull tabs and one without.

Also, please support our bunnies through the purchase of “Adopt a Retired Easter Bunny” merchandise at http://www.cafepress.com/retiredrabbit

 

And, finally, on to HRN’s Bunny of the Month for April. Please meet Finnigan, a fun little bunny! He is a cute brown dwarf rabbit who is very curious and loves to explore. When he is in his exercise pen, Finnegan is always running through the tubes and jumping onto the stool. Finnegan is quite the jumper and easily jumps out of his pen and onto lower tables. He loves to run around and check everything out! While he is very playful, Finnegan also likes attention and happily flattens for a snuggle session. He loves his greens and raisins for treats. While in his cage he plays with toys and rearranges his cage, pushing his litter box around. He is an active rabbit who would do well in a home where he could get plenty of attention and play time. Could that be you?

 

Have a Happy Easter and thank you for your support of the buns!
