Suncoast House Rabbit Rescue, which receives 30 calls a month about abandoned bunnies, will host a family event this weekend.
"Tampa Bay Bunfest" will educate guests about what it takes to adopt and enjoy a house rabbit as a pet.
The event takes place Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at 3210 Darlington Road in Holiday. Admission is $5 for anyone 13 and older.
Suncoast House Rabbit Rescue is a nonprofit in Holiday run by Kurtis Marsh and Sunje Schwarz, who say misinformation about rabbit care is what leads many people to abandon the pets after a short time.
Easter is a problematic holiday for people giving up on their pet rabbits, as is Christmas and Father's Day. Other trouble spots are both the start and end of the school season.
