Hello from Colorado!!

[bunnyluvins]

Hey there! My name is Penny and I'm getting my bun on Thursday! I'm so very excited to have a rabbit in my life again.
My husband is getting him for me as a "Christmas present" (I say in quotes because we discussed getting a rabbit for a long time! No animal should be a surprise gift!)
He's a solid black polish/lionhead cross and comes from a 4H breeder.

A little about myself -
I'm 21 years old, married to my best friend, and living in Colorado. I just moved here last March from Indiana for school. I'll be attending the local community collage for my GEC's and then transferring to CSU for veterinary school!
I love all animals and worked as an animal cruelty investigator for a few years and would love to get back into that again. I currently have 8 rats (two live with me) a snake, 2 dogs, and a soon to be bun. I hope to be an active member here, you all seem super nice and helpful!!

Also, I'll be needing name ideas

Here's a picture of him! He's 8 weeks.

Hello and welcome to the forum. What a cute bunny. Is that a lion headed bunny? Kinda looks like one to me with the tuft of fur on the head. I would love to offer you a name of "Blackie" or "Smokey". I also like the name "Dimples" for a bun. Or you could go the opposite route and call him "Whitey" Enjoy him and I am glad he is going to a good home.Take care.

Yep! He's a Polish/Lionhead cross :biggrin:

Thank you for the warm welcome and cute names!!

Welcome. How about Chocolate, Cocoa, or Licorice? Or for a non-food name; Shadow or Midnight.

 

[bunnyluvins]

Oh! I like Licorice

My first rabbits were Midnight and Shadow! Both solid black lol That's not done on purpose either

Awwww!:bunnyheart He is beyond adorable! I also have polish rabbit mix. He is so much fun. Good luck with your new rabbit

Welcome :wave: your bun is a cutie!!

 

[bunnyluvins]

Welp! He's home!

He's SO friendly. The young boy that raised the litter (with moms help!) did a great job socializing them. He raises mini lops and polish for 4-H. He was bunsitting the daddy of the litter (the lionhead), and decided that he'd bring him inside. Well, the daddy jumped the baby gate and before they could do anything, babies!!
The whole ride home he laid in my lap, all stretched out and slept some! We bought him a new cage and things and he's relaxing in his room.
We've named him Cicero :hearts

I would like to 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.

What a handsome bunny, Cicero is a cute name. Colorado is a beautiful state, my wife and I were stationed there in the '80s when I was in the Air Force.

Bunny's are great, kind furry masters.

Many bunnies’ 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.

Here are somelinks 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.

*The House Rabbit Society has a lot of good information on what veggies are safe for bunny’s, etc.

*Here is a link to learn what your furry master is trying to say to you How to Understand Your Bunny's Language

*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.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and I am glad you have joined rabbits online; I look forward to seeing you around.
