The Indiana Babies

Meet The Indiana Babies!  Just after Easter, a female bunny was dumped on the porch of a local cottontail rehabber in Indiana only to give birth to eleven kits a few days later.  Seven of the babies survived and five have been with BHRS since they were three weeks old.  It has been such a joy to watch them grow.  This batch of baby buns are now three months old and will be ready for adoption soon after they are old enough to be spayed and neutered.

* One has a unique marking on the nose. Depending how you look at it, you will either see the head\face of a rabbit or the back profile of a bunny (aka bunny-butt).  Can you identify which bunny has the marking?

Day of Action Focused on Whole Foods: August 17

Rabbit protection groups around the country are planning on coming together to tell Whole Foods Market what rabbit lovers really think about Whole Foods’ decision to start selling rabbit meat in their stores.

This peaceful leafleting/protest is being coordinated by the House Rabbit Society.  Find out much more at rabbit.org’s Day of Action.  For details about our Day of Action in Ohio, please contact Stephanie Lodge.  .img@.img
