Hoppy Hour - April 23
Bring your fuzzy friend and give them an opportunity to socialize with other rabbits! Socialization is a very important part of overall rabbit welfare, and a Hoppy Hour is the perfect opportunity to let your bunny play with others.
Hoppy Hour will take place on the Humane Society Lawn, at 5399 Overpass Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93111. Admission is $10 per rabbit. All animals must be healthy and rabbits must have been spayed or neutered at least 30 days in advance.
We'll be providing light refreshments for both you and your bunny, so please join us for an afternoon of fun!

Herding Rabbits
One day your rabbit will be somewhere he is not supposed to be. Or, worse, a neighbor will knock on your door, “There’s a rabbit in my yard, can you catch it?” And you’ll be on the spot. Accept the fact that you have no chance of out running a rabbit. The slowest rabbit can run at 27 mph. The fastest human was timed at just under 28 mph. The first rule of rabbit herding is: slower is faster.
The second rule is: rabbits are not people. Unlike you, rabbits have eyes on the side of their heads. They have a blind spot in front of their noses. But, they can see above their heads and behind their backs - all the better to spot predators. Spotting predators is important. When rabbits move or graze they often pause to look around. Fast moving animals, dogs, humans or mountain lions are a reason to run. Animals and people that approach slowly with pauses are not so scary.
