Our education events include Bunny Basics classes covering everything you need to know about caring for companion rabbits, day camps in partnership with the Animal Humane Society, Hoppy Hour social events for bunnies, and other information events.
Additionally, our dedicated volunteers take answer questions from the general public through email. All information on this site is intended for people seeking information about indoor, companion rabbits. Pet rabbits living outdoors, breeding rabbits, or livestock rabbits have different needs (such as different caloric intake and different housing needs) that are not addressed here.
We’ve revised our education materials to better help people with information about proper feeding, handling and living with rabbits, proper companion rabbit care, and bonding. You can find all our materials in the Rabbit Care section of our website.

RABBIT AGILITY
Rabbits love to jump, explore, and figure out obstacles. Rabbit agility classes allow your bunny to engage in those activities and are also an ideal way to interact and have fun with your rabbit, providing a perfect bonding experience for you and your rabbit companion. The agility training program also provides exercise and mental stimulation for companion rabbits by mimicking the types of obstacles a rabbit would find in the wild. The various Band level classes teach you how to properly and effectively communicate with your bunny. Rabbit agility also improves your rabbit’s social skills and confidence in new surroundings.
We use only bunny-friendly, gentle methods in our Agility Training Program. Our instructors use training methods that are fun and easy for all family members.
