Thank you Family Farm and Home!
HSWM would like to extend a big thank you to Family Farm and Home on Plainfield for donating an enormous array of goodies for small animals.
They gave HSWM boxes and boxes full of much-needed items, including hay and pellets, bedding and litter, treats, toys, chews, and a ton of high-quality Oxbow Animal Health products. Our adoptable rabbits approved of all of their new presents and immediately started nibbling on their favorites.
