The Carrot Tribune - August 2018

In this issue... We're Holding a Baby Bunny Naming Contest! Basic Bunny Class, August 11 Hoppy Hour and Pignic, August 25 Bunny of the Month   Baby Bunny Naming Contest In July BUNS got 29 baby bunnies! Some came in with their Mama and others were little surprises born at the shelter. We're so busy taking care of the little ones we don't have time to think of names. We need your help! Beatrix delivered 7 adorable harlequin babies on July 9th and BUNS would like to give you the opportunity to name the babies!  The only rule is that you must have names for boys and girls. Email the name ideas to kimmyswann@bunssb.org. Please follow our pictures of all the babies on our Instagram page and our Facebook page. BUNS has a lot of work ahead of us with so many babies, and any contributions to help with their care are gratefully accepted.  Read More     Basic Bunny and Guinea Pig Classes Our next class is August 11. Join us on our Facebook event page to learn more!  1:00 to 2:00 - Handling and Husbandry 2:00 to 2:30 - Training Bring your Rabbit or Guinea Pig.

Both girls are a little shy, but are sweet and active, and really enjoy their time exercising. They appreciate treats and pets, once you've earned their trust, and a quiet, serene environment would be ideal for this bonded pair.  Dilly and Dally are hoping to find their forever home and loving humans someday very soon!
