Now that it is February, I hope that many of you are planning to attend Jersey Wooly Nationals in Stillwater, MN in April this year. The Great Plains Jersey Wooly Rabbit Club is planning a really fun weekend complete with a banquet on a River Boat Cruise. It is time to start looking over those juniors and seniors that you are hoping to show at Nationals. Go over them weekly, paying attention to their body and coat condition and adjusting their care & feeding as necessary so as to hopefully have them in peak condition for April. Strip dead coats, groom as needed to keep their coats matt free, keep nails trimmed to avoid broken nails & toes,

watch poo trays to catch any issues early and make sure that cages are always clean to avoid stains and disease. Basically, keep up your regular routine care and maybe a bit extra at times. Also, remember to take time to just enjoy these little balls of fluff that we are so blessed to own. Sometimes we all get caught up in showing and caring for them and we forget just how fun and silly these little guys and gals can be. I hope that your nestboxes are full of cuties, your seniors are turning into beauties and that you get to experience lots of bunny binkies and zoomies. Stay warm and healthy!
