Sunday, February 15th & March 8th – RHDV-2 Vaccine Clinics
Dates: Sunday, February 15th and Sunday, March 8th
Location: House Rabbit Network Clinic & Shelter, Westford, MA
House Rabbit Network is hosting two upcoming RHDV-2 vaccine clinics at our shelter in Westford, MA. These clinics are a critical opportunity to protect your rabbit from Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV-2), a highly contagious and often fatal virus. The vaccine will be administered by Exotic Pet Mobile Vet.
If your rabbit has never received the RHDV-2 vaccine OR if it’s been over 18 months since their last dose, they must complete an initial two-dose series, given three weeks apart. It is not possible to complete the series with just one visit—attendance at both clinic dates is required to ensure full protection. House Rabbit Network can provide the 2nd dose of the vaccine by request. Email lauren@rabbitnetwork.org to organize.
For rabbits who have already completed the initial two-dose series within the last 18 months, only one booster dose is needed this year. You can attend either date to receive the annual booster.
Each vaccine dose costs $60, paid directly to Exotic Pet Mobile Vet on the day of the clinic. This price reflects a recent increase from the vaccine distributor, Medgene. If preferred, meloxicam, a rabbit-safe oral pain reliever & anti-inflammatory, is also available for an additional charge.
RHDV-2 can spread through direct contact with infected rabbits or via contaminated surfaces, hay, food, clothing, or even shoes. Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect your rabbit and help prevent the spread of this serious disease within the rabbit community.

HRN’s 2nd Annual BOND-A-THON is Here!
Saturday, March 7 | 11 AM–4 PM | HRN Shelter – Westford, MA
Back by popular demand – and ready to help more bunnies bond!
Is your pair stuck in the “will they, won’t they” phase? Experiencing scuffles, stand-offs, or bonding burnout? Hoping to expand from a duo to a trio (or more)? Whether you’re troubleshooting a plateau or starting from square one, our Bond-a-Thon is designed to give you structured, expert guidance in real time.
For a $65 donation, you’ll receive:
- A 45-minute, hands-on bonding consultation at our Westford shelter (yes, bring your buns!)
- Live assessment and coaching from one of our experienced bonding counselors
- Personalized strategies tailored to your rabbits’ behaviors and dynamics
- Take-home bonding resources and guidance
- Post-event follow-up support to help you continue progressing after March 7
Participants will complete a bonding intake form in advance. Our team will review each case and thoughtfully match you with the counselor best suited to your rabbits’ needs.
Bonding can be complex – but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Join us for a focused day of education, support, and bunny relationship breakthroughs.
