Rabbit handling 101

Members of Tricia Harwood’s Colfax River’s Edge 4H cats, rabbits and guinea pigs club work on handling June 28. This is the fourth year of the growing group, which was awarded a $212 grant last year from the Washington State 4H Foundation Small Grant Program. Harwood said that the funds have been spent on 4H curriculum books, American Rabbit Breeders Association Standard of Perfection books and other supplies. The group, which spans ages 6 to 15, has 12 members with rabbits, two with guinea pigs and three with cats. Additional leaders are Jenise James and Linda Cook.
