I have 6 adorable minilop x nz white bunnies, they are $100 each

They will be ready to go to their forever homes on the 15th of February

My bunnies are accustomed to being handled ever since they were born. They all have extremely sociable and tame parents, they have a wide verity of foods and aren’t brought up fussy.

My bunnies are not used to small confined cages, they have been raised in very large areas with plenty of grass, roaming and hiding places.

Please note that my bunny’s gender is pretty accurate and has been checked multiple times, but at the slightest chance of error that the gender is incorrect it is at your own risk

A non refundable 40 dollar deposit is required to keep your bunny on hold and the remainder can be paid upon collection. Please note that they will be sold to approved owners only.

Waikato against mozzies! 🦟 Is the Bay of Plenty ready to join the fight?

Researchers from Victoria University are on the hunt for Waikato properties to set traps as part of a project aimed at keeping the country safe from mosquito-borne diseases coming from across the ditch.

Backed by the Ministry for Primary Industries, the project is targeting high-risk areas—including Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, and Hawke’s Bay—to keep a close eye on mosquito activity.

What do you think—are we ready to take on the mozzies, or is it a lost cause?
