Considerations before buying an Easter bunny
SUMMARY: Some families are considering buying a pet rabbit for Easter, but it's important to understand the responsibilities that come with owning one. Rabbits require hay, leafy greens, grooming, and regular vet care. After Easter, animal shelters are flooded with unwanted rabbits as people realize they weren't prepared for the long-term commitment. Owning a rabbit is not just about feeding them pellets and putting them in a kennel – they need love and care just like any other pet. Those considering a pet rabbit should be prepared to commit to their care for the duration of their lifespan, which can be over a decade. Consider fostering a rabbit before committing to ownership to get a better understanding of the responsibilities involved.
WWL Louisiana's Eleanor Tabone explains that rabbits aren't just an Easter present, they're much more.

New Orleans Weather: Excessive heat warning for Sunday and tracking Hurricane Beryl
SUMMARY: A tropical storm in the Atlantic has been upgraded to a hurricane, currently about 50 miles from the center with warm water and low wind shear aiding its strengthening. It could become a Category 2 hurricane by tomorrow, and possibly a Category 3, approaching the Lesser Antilles by late tomorrow into Monday. Wind shear may weaken it as it moves into the Caribbean. We are monitoring another potential system, Chris, developing near Yucatan, possibly moving into Mexico. We expect hotter, drier weather for the Gulf Coast this week, but will monitor long-term hurricane impacts. An excessive heat warning is in effect, with potential temperatures reaching up to 114°F.
Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford has the forecast at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
