Publish your pictures or stories in Domestic Rabbits!

In case you missed it in the DR magazine, we are looking for funny rabbit jokes and riddles. We are also looking for memories of your first rabbit, funny stories about a rabbit show, favorite youth activites and traditions within your club, or even a picture that you drew of your favorite rabbit. We are planning on having a full youth page in each DR magazine, and we need your help with artwork, jokes, and short stories.

Here are the rules:
1. Please keep short stories under 100 words
2. All pictures must be hand-drawn by the youth submitting it
3. All submissions must have been created by an ARBA Youth member
4. And last but not least, HAVE FUN!

All submissions are subject to review and must include your Name, Age, City/State, and ARBA#. Please also include either your phone# or e-mail.
Once submitted, entries become the property of the ARBA unless a self-addressed stamped envelope is included.

Send all submissions or questions to:
