We’re excited to introduce Bunny Business as our Adoption Nook Sponsor!

Bunny Business creates thoughtfully designed, 3D-printed enrichment products and accessories that help make life with house rabbits happier, easier, and a little more colorful. From their Open Air Hay Feeders and interactive Hay Rollers to practical accessories for popular rabbit habitats, every product is designed with real rabbits and their people in mind. Supporting rabbit rescue is at the heart of their business, and they donate 10% of their monthly profits to rabbit rescue organizations across the country!

Thank you Bunny Business for your support of Florida Bunfest 2027!

New Rescue Partner alert! A big Florida Bunfest welcome to Bunnychick Haven of Navarre! 🐰 🐥

Stop by their table to learn about sanctuary tours, rabbit care and adoptions, educational programs, Haven's Nest overnight experiences, volunteering, and more ways to support their mission. You can even spin their prize wheel for fun giveaways and Haven merchandise while meeting the rabbits and other small animals who call Bunnychick Haven home!

We're especially excited to share that Bunnychick Haven founder Jill Wesson will also be joining us as a guest speaker, presenting "𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒖𝒆: 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑨𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆."

Jill is a training professional with nearly 30 years of experience and a Certified WRAP Facilitator, bringing her background in education, recovery, and community building into the Haven's work. In her talk, she'll share how Bunnychick Haven has grown beyond rescue into a place where animals and people connect, learn, and heal together, through sanctuary care, educational tours, community visits, retreats, and overnight stays. She'll also speak to welcoming people of all ages and abilities, including the Haven's connections with Arc and ASHA, while honoring each animal's individual needs and boundaries. Attendees will leave with real, practical ideas for building meaningful, responsible connections between rescued animals and their communities.

Thank you Bunnychick Haven for joining us!

Volunteer perks:
✅ Free admission
✅ Free pizza lunch

We’ll need all kinds of help throughout the day, including event set-up, break-down, food sales, the welcome table, Kid Zone, and plenty more!

Right now, we’re growing our volunteer pool, so fill out this quick form to let us know you’re interested: https://forms.gle/ByyHjfsk8BSfPqFSA

Just one week after opening our 2027 sponsor/vendor applications, we're thrilled to share that eight bunny-loving businesses and rescues have already committed to joining us at Florida Bunfest!

Among them is returning sponsor, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐰, dedicated to improving the lives of rabbits and their owners through quality, rabbit-exclusive grooming and boarding services. Shelly and the Bungalow friends will be at Florida Bunfest on Feb. 7th selling rabbit-safe hideouts and toys. Be sure to stop by their table early, because those wooden hideouts are known to sell out fast!

Not all heroes wear capes... some wear white aprons.🤍 Our 52 incredible volunteers were the heartbeat of Florida Bunfest. They greeted you at the welcome table, ran classroom AV, crafted gorgeous raffle baskets, kept the Adoption Nook and Chill Lounge fresh for the buns, brought the energy to the Kid Zone, and filled every gap in between. Florida Bunfest simply would not happen without them.

Thank you to our volunteers for your time, your energy, and your love for our bunny community!
