HOST A “STUDY BUDDY”

🐇🐇Sweet sibling bunnies CHARLES and CAROLINE are remote schooling study buddies this week for a local family. School is just more fun with a sweet bunny on your lap! 🐇🐇
Did you know you can host bunnies🐇, guinea pigs, hedgehogs🦔 (and baby chicks🐥 and ducklings🦆 in season) from Farmer Mary at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC?
“Rent for a week and get over it” says Farmer Mary to people of all ages who think they need to own a small caged pet. And, most (about 98 percent) do get over the idea after a week long highly informative animal hosting experience.
This leads to less buying of small animals who quite often end up at Wake County Animal Shelter or on Craigslist or left in a box📦 at Farmer Mary’s gate.

#rentdontshop #recycleexistingpets

🐇You can read more at the “Pet Hosting” section at www.winterpast.org. Please SHARE to help spread the word to animal lovers including all the newly homeschooling parents. Great behavior modification tool or reward! Also a “temporary classroom pet” is a nice and very unique gift for teachers.🎁

NATIONAL PIG DAY

❤️🐷A friend just told Farmer Mary it’s National Pig Day!! Here’s DAISY the polka dotted “mini” “teacup” pig who outgrew several homes before landing permanently at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. FRANKLIN the former pet pig who sleeps with a hen. And, sweet PEG-LEG who is our special pig born without one foot. We think she is just perfect! 

🐷Come meet our pigs soon; you can pet and feed them. Watch for special pig days when Farmer Mary takes visitors out to the barnyard to get up close. 

🐷If you have met the pigs which is YOUR favorite pig at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC?
