Big Hello

[klickitat]

I just found this site tonight and was wondering why I never thought of looking for a rabbit forum before now.

Any how, I live in Western Washington and I am just not getting started up again after a decade of not raising rabbits. I am interested in three distinct areas this go around.

#1 I want to experiment with colonies. I have never been convinced that this was an efficient way of raising rabbits, but after reading an awful lot about it on the net; I figured I would go about in such a way as to prove or disprove the concept for my needs.

#2 I want to play around with the cross breeding and selective breeding to get the traits that I like. Now I know everything in the world has already been done and it is only good for my own entertainment.

#3 This is actually the most serious of the pursuits that I am chasing. I am in the process of looking for American Chinchilla breeding stock. I hope to raise top of the line stock for show and sale. I like the idea of raising a rare breed and I actually like their heritage as a dual purpose rabbit. I hope to build up several good lines and then try and perfect feed conversion rations in those lines.

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.

I’ve 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.

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.

In your profile there is a place for location. There is no rule requiring you to list the city you live in, but if you can give a general region, country, state, what part of a state or country you live in is helpful. This will give others an idea and can offer more specific help if needed.

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, How to put photo's in your posts.

This the best site on the web for bunnies and I look forward to hearing stories and looking at pictures of your rabbits.
