Your bunny & the holidays MOVIE
By Karen
Alice in Wonderland
When going on holidays, one thing you really need to
organise way in advance is…… What could be better….. a white rabbit, Johnny Depp, Tim

Who is going to look after your bunnies when
you go away????
Whoever you choose needs to be reliable, responsible and
able to think ahead (weather conditions, dangers, etc).
They need to understand rabbits - their needs, their diet &

If you have guests & family over for the holidays, make
sure that your bunnies are safe & away from too much http://clarencethesuperspy.blog.com/
