2017 The animals of Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo drew record crowds tonight (Dec 23) at the second night of Live Nativity at Hayes Barton Baptist Church in Raleigh. Tonight Farmer Mary went with an all white theme with sheep CHARLIE BROWN and his pregnant wife, CINDY LOU and goats THOMAS and his pregnant wife, BUTTERCUP.

🐰🐰🐰Bunny brothers MILKSHAKE, SAM and ICLOUD enjoying breakfast this morning at Winterpast Farm in Wake Forest NC. This trio is available for feeding and petting at the farm and for hosting in your home.
❓Do you know about Farmer Mary’s unique Pet Hosting Program❓Rent a small caged pet (or two or three) for a week and enjoy learning how to care for them. See how much a small animal can poop 💩 ! Then bring it back.
🐇🦔The program discourages people from buying small caged animals and then dumping them at Winterpast Farm.These rabbits parents were supposed to be two girls. Oops‼️The whole family was soon donated to Winterpast. “Rent for a week and get over it” says Farmer Mary. About 99 percent of all age hosts do get over the whole idea of “owning” a small caged pet after a week long highly educational animal experience. #winterpastfarm #bunnies #rentdontshop #brothers #animalseating #feedinganimals #lionhead #ncfarm #animalrescue #pettingzoo #wakeforestnc #comevisit #rentfirst #rentarabbit #animals #trio #farmermary

🐰Meet CAPPUCHINO the male lop ear bunny who “the pet store said was a girl” before he and his wife and children were all donated to Winterpast Farm. Funny how most families don’t keep a single bunny when this happens.
🐰Go to recent post at Winterpast Farm on Facebook or winterpast_farm on Instagram and you will see video of his wife GOLDIE and his mini me daughter MOCHA at a recent backyard event. CAPPUCHINO’s son, PANCAKE, has since been adopted from Winterpast Farm in Wake Forest NC.
🐰The moral of this story is if you think you need a pet bunny the first step should be to host a pre-owned bunny from Winterpast Farm. Find out what caring for a small caged pet is really like. Find out how much a small animal can poop 💩. Then, bring it back!
🐰About 99 percent of all age hosts return the animal to Farmer Mary very happily. “Rent for a week and get over it” says Farmer Mary. Listen to Farmer Mary‼️
🐇🐰You can also visit Winterpast Farm and meet, feed and hold the small animals. Most are previously owned pets.
