Guidelines For Bringing Your Bunny
All bunnies must be in good health while attending the event.
If a Midwest BunFest volunteer suspects that your bunny is ill, you will be asked to leave and take him/her home. Certain illness can be spread from rabbit-to-rabbit, and we want to prevent the transmission of disease and injury to all our visitors.
All rabbits must be in a carrier, stroller, or carried in an appropriate harness while at Midwest BunFest.
Please use approved carriers. Purses, knapsacks, duffel bags, picnic baskets, etc. are not designed for your rabbit's safety, health and comfort. Midwest BunFest reserves the right to refuse admission to any rabbit brought in an inappropriate carrier. Rabbits are not allowed to be loose in the venue at any time.
Please do not allow your rabbit to approach another rabbit at any time.
This could result in injury to your rabbit or the other rabbit caused by fighting, biting, kicking, scratching, etc. Interaction between rabbits that are not previously bonded and belonging to the same guardian is strictly prohibited.
Please clean up after your rabbit!
We understand that "accidents happen" but it is very important that all messes be cleaned up immediately to avoid the spread of disease, ensure good sanitation, and prevent injury to our event guests. You may alert one of the Midwest BunFest volunteers if assistance or cleaning supplies are needed.
Please keep a close eye on your bunny's behavior.
While BunFest is designed to be fun for everyone, your bunny may become stressed or ill. Loud noises, crowds, unfamiliar smells, etc. can cause stress in rabbits and lead to illness. No one knows your bunny as well as you do, so please use your very best judgment to decide when your bunny has "had enough" for the day and take him/her home.
Keep your bunny well hydrated and fed at all times.
Our Bunny Lounge area provides space for your bunny to get away from the activity, have some hay, water, and food and stretch out a bit. While donations will be gladly accepted for use of our "Bunny Lounge," there is no fee for this service. Volunteers will be on hand in the area to assist you and your bunny in getting everything you need set up. You are expected to stay with your bunny while he/she is using our Bunny Lounge area. Tables and chairs nearby will be provided for your comfort and convenience.
You accept all risks and liabilities when your rabbit uses any of our service areas (such as the
Bunny Spa, Bunny Lounge, Glamour Shots, etc).
OHRR will not accept any responsibilities or liability for injuries incurred. Our volunteers will treat your rabbit with the utmost care and respect, and we are prepared for emergencies; however, we cannot predict your bunny's behavior and responses to various situations that may occur. If your rabbit does not like being handled (many don't), is uncomfortable with strangers, or has other behavioral tendencies that could lead to injury, please let our volunteers know. We will work with you and your bunny so you may enjoy all of our activities, but our concern will remain the safety and health of everyone involved.
