PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
- Rabbits are not competing against one another. Students are competing on their ability to articulate and present their rabbit; it's breed standards and do a general health check.
- Rabbits need to be free of all illness and completely clean before showing.
- Any rabbit with signs of illness will be asked to be removed from the premises.
- Students bring your rabbit in its own carrier/cage. There will be no housing for the rabbits on site. Rabbits will go back home with you after the show.
- Students enter this contest at their own risk knowing that taking a rabbit into public places can put it as risk for exposure to disease and illness.
