A big hello from New Zealand =)

I just got my first rabbit as an adult ( had one when i was about 5 aswell)

Got mine from a breeder who breed standard point, netherland dwarfs and minilops!

I got a minilop cashmere, broken black coloured little girl at 6 weeks, and I have been informed they shouldnt be away from their mother before 8 weeks! woops! She is now 10 weeks.

However my bunny is named "bunny" my 2 year old has named her and she is the sweetest thing.

I came across this and joined when I was researching for my bun about back injury. she is on her first day to recovery at the moment and hoping to see more good results..

I am looking to get another one next month one from her littler actually, so she will also be 10 weeks i think. Will they bond ok at 10 weeks????

Hello and welcome to RO. Don't know much about bonding issues as all of ours were older rescues. Most of what I read said neutered was the best thing to do before bonding is attempted.

I think you should look at getting a boy for the bonding partner of your young bunny. Keep separate until the boy is fixed and you might even want to wait a little after. I would think your little girl wouldnt be as territorial as an older bunny but that is what you have to worry about when getting a girl. That is the reason they say girl to girl bonding is harder sometimes. If they were litter mates then it might be a little easier. Good luck and welcome to the forums your bun is cuteee

Oh really? Yeas they are sisters. I never thought about getting a boy, I am new to this but i love bunnys! Mine just roams around my house, loves being stroked on the face, she falls asleep!

Let me welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

Many bunny's recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

I have listed some links I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How To Bond With Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.
