GRANDMA BUNNY'S CORNER

Dear friends,
I have scheduled our next meeting for 2 pm Sunday,
November 2nd. We will be meeting at Gander Mountain
in their community room. Last February, we were to
meet in their community room, only to find it occupied
when we arrived. They let us use their break room and
it worked out very well. We will see what happens this year. 

Our birthday bash was a success. Thanks to all of you
who came and all of you that furnished crackers and cookies. 
Thanks to Shawn Reida and Rufus for our entertainment. 
Thanks to Ashley Jones for designing our new brochure which
was handed out at the birthday bash. Thanks to David Cosloy
for making the certificates of appreciation for our sponsors. 
Thanks to Petland for the bunny treats which each bunny
received for attending the event.

At our next event, be prepared to bid on a pair of gold and
pearl bunny earrings that have been donated to us. 
Bidding begins at $10. There will be other items as usual. 
If you have an item to donate, let me know and bring it
to the meeting.

 

WANTIING A PAINTING PARTY?

Stoneware Studio has been our sponsor by hosting painting
parties where we can bring our bunnies. This event is a
fundraisers as a certain percentage of the sale of the ceramics
goes to support Bunny TNT. The question is, do we want to do
it this year?I sent this question out in an e-mail. If you didn't
get it, check to see if I have your e-mail correct. I had only one
response that wanted to paint. Let me know if you want to paint
and we can schedule a painting party. It is an opportunity to
create or paint a Christmas gift.

 

T-SHIRTS

We have gained several new members this past year, so we are
offering the opportunity to purchase T-shirts again. They are $15
each  and $17 for 2x and larger. We like for you to wear these
shirts at our events, so if you don't have one, you might consider
ordering one. Adult sizes are small, medium, large, extra large,
2X and 3X. Youth sizes are Medium (8-10) or Large (12-14). 
It's a good idea for a Christmas gift.

A WORD FROM THE VET
Michelle Leak DVM

Rabbit Dental Care
A rabbits teeth grow continuously throughout its’ lifetime.
The incisors (front teeth) and molars (back teeth) are worn
down as they rub against each other when the rabbit chews.
When the teeth are not aligned properly (malocclusion),
the teeth grow longer than they should and develop sharp
points. These points are called spurs and can cause sores
in the rabbit’s mouth.

What can you do?
Encourage your rabbit to eat hay by always having it available
and limiting the amount of pelleted feed offered. The chewing
action a rabbit performs when eating hay helps to strengthen
the teeth and their roots, helping protect your rabbit against
dental disease.

What should you look for?
Watch for any swelling on the face, drooling, weight loss,
tooth grinding (pain), or decreased appetite. Some rabbits
will have bulging eyes as a sign of a tooth root abscess.
If you notice any of these signs, take bunny to a rabbit savvy vet.
