Hi Group

This is a plug for New Zealand's biggest Facebook rabbit welfare group who are looking for you to join if you have a pet rabbit or tell your friends & family about us if they have pet rabbits.

We are here for rabbit owners to learn new information about their bunnies & the best way to care for them. Ethical breeders who focus on purebred lines, responsible re-homing, safe practices & rabbit welfare are welcome. Unethical breeders, meat farmers (refer The Rabbit Council of NZ), animal hoarders/abusers are NOT welcome. Our site allows members to post any rabbit related sale items, share photos, express new ideas & even find your bunnies new forever homes if needed.

We have the biggest educational database in the country that is always expanding, along with linked pages FLUFFY BUNNIES for re-homing, FORAGE NZ for rabbit supplies and BUNS INC for educational information. We invite you to become a member of a fun group and spread the word at our fabulous bunnies are.
