Bunnies!

A little over two weeks ago, the Barn gained an exciting pair of new additions to our herd: two little lop-eared bunnies named Taco and Lemonade!

Ted and Jerry have worked really hard the past couple of months building the rabbit hutch, which the rest of the staff have dubbed the “Taj Mabunny” due to how huge and beautifully crafted it is. The two buns have adjusted well to their new environment. They’re still a little shy towards humans, but our designated bunny caretakers are beginning to work with the bunnies so they’ll be comfortable with being handled by anyone. We hope that they’ll soon be able to be held and pet by our students and visitors!

We’re excited to welcome Taco and Lem to the Barn as we expand the variety of animals in our herd. In addition to adding the bunnies, Ted and Jerry have already begun work on a chicken coop and there’s been talking of building an enclosure for Nigerian Dwarf Goats. Having some small animals around will allow our students more hands on opportunities that can be difficult with animals as large as horses. Taco and Lem’s hutch is located behind the Red Barn.  If you’re interested in getting to meet our furry new friends feel free to ask a staff member if they have a moment to accompany you to see the hutch.
