All Moved In
STORMY, our foster bunny is all moved in. He lives at Elm Farm during the warmer spring and summer months, but once the days and nights get cold, he needs a warm home. This year, we were asked to be his foster family. We already had been taking care of him at Elm Farm, cleaning his room, feeding him and playing with him, so it only made sense he come home with us. He is adjusting well.
