Bunny Bed & Breakfast: Parent FAQ 

 

What is Bunny Bed & Breakfast?

Bunny Bed & Breakfast is a farm program that lets your family welcome a young bunny into your home for one week. Kids can participate in daily care with a parent or guardian’s help, then return the bunny to the farm at the end of its stay.

 

How old will our bunny be?

Your bunny will be 12 weeks old when it comes home with your family.

 

How long does the program last?

Each bunny stays with its host family for seven days. Pickup and return arrangements will be coordinated with the farm.

 

What is included?

All supplies for the week are provided, including:

• A portable bunny home

• Alfalfa pellets and hay

• Food and water dishes

• A bunny-care handbook

 

Do we need to buy anything before bringing our bunny home?

The program provides the supplies your bunny will need. Your family will need to make room for the portable home and set aside time each day for care and supervision.

 

Is this a drop-off program for children?

No. This is a take-home experience: the bunny stays at your home, and your family is responsible for its care throughout the week.

 

Who is responsible for caring for the bunny?

A parent or guardian must take responsibility for the bunny’s care. Children can help with daily tasks, but an adult should oversee feeding, water, cleaning, and interactions.

 

What can my child help with?

With adult guidance, children can help serve the provided food, refresh water, keep the bunny’s space tidy, and follow the care routine in the handbook. Adults should choose tasks appropriate to their child’s age and abilities.

 

Will we receive care instructions?

Yes! A handbook is included to guide your family through the bunny’s daily routine. Review it together before beginning your week.

 

What should we feed our bunny?

Alfalfa pellets and hay are provided for the stay. Follow the handbook’s feeding instructions, and check with the farm before offering any additional foods or treats.

 

Can our bunny interact with other pets?

Please discuss any household pets with the farm before participating. Ask about the program’s rules for housing, separation, and supervised interactions before bringing your bunny home.

 

Can we take our bunny outside or bring it on outings?

Check with the farm before planning outdoor time, travel, or visits. Follow the program’s housing and handling instructions throughout the stay.

​

 

What if we have questions or are concerned about the bunny?

Contact the farm for guidance. Before pickup, make sure you have the program’s contact information and understand what to do if a concern arises, including outside regular hours.

 

What if our family cannot finish the week?

Contact the farm as soon as possible to discuss return arrangements. Do not transfer the bunny to another household without the farm’s approval.

 

Is the bunny ours to keep?

This is a one-week hosting experience, not a permanent placement. Plan to return the bunny and the supplied equipment to the farm at the agreed time.

 

How much does the program cost, and how do we register?

Contact the farm for pricing, availability, registration details, and any participation requirements.
