One of the core reasons House Rabbit Society was created–back in pre-Internet days–was because Marinell Harriman, HRS founder and the author of House Rabbit Handbook, knew there was a need for be an ongoing, up-to-date source of rabbit health, wellness and care information for people to continue learning about their house rabbits. To address this need, HRS created the House Rabbit Journal, our ongoing periodically that covers health, current events in the rabbit community, and heartwarming stories.

Three-and-half decades ago, rabbits as indoor pets was a novel idea and much about them was still being discovered. For our first 29 years, the Journal was an iconic, square, black and white publication. In 2016, the Journal in a color magazine format was born. Went the extra step in 2023 of launching the option where HRS members could choose to receive an online version in addition to the paper copy of the Journal. Throughout HRS’ long history, we’re proud to have been able to bring our members news about our global and our chapters’ educational programs and rescue efforts; promote rescue and adoption of abandoned rabbits; and provide the latest information in rabbit health, behavior, and care– through the Journal.

A gift of $28 or more ($36 or more for international members) qualifies you for a one-year membership to House Rabbit Society, which includes the Journal, discounts to several of our favorite online shops, and discounted boarding at the Rabbit Center at our headquarters location in Richmond, California.
