Doing my research on getting a rabbit!

[mimsy]

Hi there!
My name is Miriam and I'm from Ireland. My boyfriend and I are looking into getting a pet together in a few months and we've decided to get a rabbit. Neither of us have had a rabbit before and this site has some great info on it! I've been looking at the different breeds and some videos on youtube and have fallen in love with the Lionhead and i was just wondering if people think there a good breed for beginners. We are both in our 20's and have no kids. We want to have it as a house rabbit with a cage and an area of the apartment rabbit proofed. So I was just wondering if people thought the lionhead would be a good choice!

Thanks a mill!
Miriam

Hello Miriamand welcome..

It's great that you are doing your research on bunnies first...but i have no idea on the lionhead breed as we don't have them here in Oz...many members here have lionheads though and they are just the cutest little things..

Thanks for getting back to my Cheryl. Yeah they look gorgeous and look like they would be a great size for an indoor pet. Yeah I'm a bit obsessive about researching things before I do things, I think my boyfriend thinks I have ocd!

we're right there with Cheryl--never had one so really can't say other than they are really cute. If I was to point toward one breed, Dutches seem to be really nice, and not too big. Mini-Rexes are also a personal favorite.

Hello! Welcome To Rabbits Online!

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.

This is a great site to learn about bunny's. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

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.
