It’s estimated that approximately 80% of rabbits adopted for Easter will die or be abandoned due to inadequate care or lack of knowledge about ownership. If you are considering adopting a pet rabbit for Easter, please consider these tips before “hopping” to a quick conclusion.

🐇 A rabbit’s lifespan is typically 8-12 years. Be sure you are ready for a long-term commitment.

🐇 While they look cuddly, rabbits are different from cats and dogs. They are considered “ground animals” and don’t usually like to be picked up and held.

🐇 Rabbits enjoy a large, spacious cage kept indoors, with supervised playtime (indoors and outdoors). Place hay inside the cage for your rabbit to eat.

🐇 Rabbits are aggressive chewers, and need to be kept away from electrical cords and anything that can be dangerous if ingested, such as taped or glued boxes.

🐇 Rabbits are herbivores, meaning they like to eat fruits and vegetables. While hay comprises the majority of their diet, rabbits also need a variety of other food options to ensure they are receiving optimal nutrition.

🐇 Rabbits will use a litter box – frequently. Have one both inside the cage and outside the cage for use during playtime.

🐇 Domesticated rabbits will likely not survive outside of captivity, as they don’t have the instincts to find food, seek shelter, and hide from predators. If you decide rabbit ownership isn’t for you, be sure to find your bunny a happy new home!

With much sadness, the Desoto Parish Chicken Swap is canceled until further notice. The store owners, who’ve been super gracious in allowing us to hold the event at their store, are closing their doors. I want to personally thank Sidney P Hall III, each vendor we’ve ever had and also each and every attendee! We had such a fun year with this last year. This page will stay active so keep posting! Hopefully at some point we will be able to resume the Swap events.
