You can also buy directly from their website. Link in the comments below

We are looking for volunteers to help promote Bunfest by reposting our post and making new post tagging us. Last year about 15 percent of the attendees were new to Bunfest. We would love to increase that percentage this year to 33 percent. Also please make sure to like and comment on the pages of our sponsors to let them know you are excited that they are supporting us and Suncoast House Rabbit Rescue . Which brings up a second point easily 50 percent of the folks last year were not aware of our connection to Suncoast House Rabbit Rescue So we were excited to see the number of likes and follows increase after Bunfest.
Again thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers and attendees.

If you would like to volunteer to work at Bunfest you can reach out by messaging us here.

She assists with ORCA's bunny speed dating events by sitting in the pen as a "bonder" during introductions. Speed dating has been a very successful avenue to educate the public about rescue rabbits, rabbit behaviors, the importance of spay/neuter, and the improvement in quality of life for bonded buns. Sascha will present the speed dating process and important tips to take home when trying to form a new bond between rabbits.
