Hello Everyone!

uofmtingley · Feb 5, 2011

I am a new bunny owner... Yesterday I picked up Ms. Brady. She is only about 10 or 12 weeks old, and adorable. I am not sure of her breed. She is small and a medium grey color. Her breed does not matter to me. I just want to bond with her and love her.

Before getting her, I built her a condo and I also used grids to make a very large exercise area. It is about 12x6 feet. I am not really comfortable letting her run the house yet since she is my first rabbit. I am sure that will come with time.

We are bonding quickly. When I brought her home, she would not come out of the box I picked her up in. That took about 4 hours. But already today, she is coming up and smelling me and she even licked my feet. I have not attempted to pick her up yet because I want to make sure she is comfortable. I am told that when she is comfortable enough she will jump into my lap. We will see.

I hope I have done all my homework. I know that I read and read before getting her. I am sure that if I do have any questions, you all will be able to answer them for me.

Aww, soo cute! I wish I'd studied up on rabbits too before getting my first one. ;( Circle (my rabbit, also a baby) was left outside in her cage, and a storm hit late that night... She died. :cry2

Welcome to RO! If you post a picture of your rabbit, I'm sure one of us can Identify the breed for you. As for coming on your lap. That's a definite. Love it when Thor is exploring and then comes up and crawls onto my lap. :bunnyheart

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 youâre 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 bunnyâs like talk to each other when we mere slaves arenât 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 otherâs 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.
