All I want for Christmas ...
All I want for Christmas is my four front teeth!
We are inviting everyone, not just our Fat Fluff friends but anyone's friends friends who would like to, to join us in the challenge of filling the bunny barn with Christmas decorations.
At Fat Fluffs we are seeing an ever increasing number of bunnies with dental issues – Toothy Bunnies.
Sometimes we are able to resolve dental problems through a change in diet or by tooth extraction but for some bunnies, such as Arnold and Pippin, neither is currently an option so they have to have monthly trips to the vets for them to be filed down.
It currently costs around £20 per visit to the vets for a bun to have their front teeth filed but it’s the stress of the repeated journeys that takes its toll. If Fat Fluffs are able to buy our own dental machine, despite it being a high initial outlay of almost £1000, it will not only in the longer term reduce our vets bills but it will also make the experience a lot less stressful for the rabbits.
So this Christmas we are focusing on raising funds towards this much needed piece of equipment. The FSI (http://www.thefsi.org/) have sent us 100 paper Christmas tree decorations. We are hoping to sell all of these, for a minimum donation of £1 each, and hang the decorations around the Fat Fluff bunny barn. The idea of the chain is to celebrate and remember our pets this Christmas and to help raise funds for the dental machine at the same time . We're asking, for each decoration bought, that you send us the message you would like written on the back, so each one is personal, and we will then hang the decoration in the barn. 
To purchase your Christmas tree decoration please follow this link http://www.fatfluffs.com/donate/ which will give you details on how to pay and link you to our paypal account, don't forget to add your message and keep an eye on our website blog for pictures of the Bunny Barn being decorated! For further info or queries please email carrie@fatfluffs.com.

FFFF 2011!!
I know we're all trying not to think about it yet, but Christmas is getting closer which only means one thing for Fat Fluffs ... Our favourite event of the year - the Festive Fundraiser (FFFF)!
We love welcoming back old friends and adopters and meeting new faces for a cuppa and a catch-up at FF HQ. The decorations will be up in the barn and conservatory, the burgers on the BBQ, the tea urn on the boil and the sanctuary and rescue bunnies ready for lots of fuss in the garden and barn. Add to that our fundraising stalls, toys and treats for your furry friends and the ever-popular tombola.
This year's FFFF will take place on Saturday, December 3rd between 12 noon and 4pm at our Solihull HQ.
Please submit your RSVP by clicking on the following link: www.tinyurl.com/FatFluffsRSVP2011 so that we can cater for the BBQ and prepare for the number of visitors expected. Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing you on December 3rd - make sure you put it in your diary!

Volunteering for Fat Fluffs
Fat Fluffs is always on the look out for people with skills you might not immediately associate with rabbit rescue. Although the obvious care of the rabbits is ongoing there is always loads going on behind the scenes and we are always delighted to welcome new volunteers. Vickie is our volunteer co-ordinator and she has a long list of positions that need filling - often these jobs can be done from home so you don't even need to come to Solihull or move from the comfort of your home. If you have people skills, numerical skills, organisational skills, chatting or tweeting skills or any other skill you would be willing to offer, Vickie would love to hear from you. And even if you don't know what skills you have Vickie is great at realising these and will always find something that will be greatly appreciated. Please do drop her an email volunteer@fatfluffs.com and she will be in touch soon.
Thank you!
