Thank you to everyone who turned out to help plan BunnyFest 2010. Our fabulous chair of the planning committee, Lee Anne, will be sending out an email with all kinds of details for those of you who were at the meeting.

Have You Heard About the HRS Database?
When you donate your own bunnies' medical records to the House Rabbit Society's database you may help save other rabbit's lives. The more health records we receive the more valuable the database is. For information or how to participate visit this page.
OUR FEATURED RABBIT COUPLE: Maggie and Murphy
Maggie & Murphy are best friends so they must be adopted as a couple.
These two are a delight. Their foster parents report that if someone is looking for a pair of bunnies who would be good in a first-time bunny home, and are looking to get lots of love back this pair might be the right pick!
To read more about Maggie & Murphy and see more photos visit their photo gallery.

OUR FEATURED SINGLE RABBIT: Fiyero
Fiyero was born a couple of days before arriving at EARS so he has been loved on and cared for since the day he was born.
Fiyero is a gentle bunny and quite easy going. He is a little shy when he meets new people but does enjoy the company of humans. We think he'll overcome his shyness after he goes to his forever home and adjusts.
Fiyero is super soft and has short hair so he is easy to brush. He will probably be a good bunny for a first-time bunny caretaker and an ideal husbun for an already spayed female rabbit. To see more photos of Fiyero visit his photo gallery.

MEDICATING YOUR RABBIT
Rabbits are very sensitive creatures and they stress very easily. Your veterinarian or a veterinary technician will probably show you how to give pills, administer eye or ear drops, or syringe feed your rabbit. But sometimes rabbits who are as good as gold when they're at the clinic put up quite a struggle when you try the same procedure at home. human.Rabbits are very sensitive creatures and they stress very easily.
Every rabbit/person pair will work out their own routines. But to give you a head start, members of the House Rabbit Society have pooled their experience and come up with the a web page of tips for medicating bunnies at home.

DONATE TO EARS BY BUYING HAY FOR YOUR BUNNY
Dr. Atlas and the folks at Riverview Animal Clinic donate 100% of the profits of hay sales to Alabama EARS. So when you buy a box of premium Oxbow hay for your bunny you can feel warm and fuzzy twice: first when you feed your bun a quality hay and second when you know your purchase helps out the foster buns.
If you're in the market for some toys at the same time, you'll find bags of bunny-safe toys also sold at Riverview Animal Clinic. Profits from toy sales also go directly to the EARS foster bun account at Riverview.
The Hay and Toy fund is how we pay for the majority of our spay, neuter and medical expenses. So next time you need hay (or toys), think of Riverview and you'll be thinking of the EARS buns!
