Hello from dusty Las Vegas, NV!

[Equla]

My name is Erica and I am a first-time bunny owner. My ex-boyfriend and I adopted a trio from our local SPCA in February and now that we aren't together, we share custody. LoL Basically, I pay bunny-support and they live with him. I have visitation rights.

Our kids are:

Gia - female. Not quite sure what she is. She's large and stocky, so my guess is an American mix. As with most rescues, we have zero background info on her. I think she was bred as a food bunny. :shock:We do know, based on her reactions to being pet or really touched in any way that someone picked her up by her ears. Poor thing had a rough life. Now, she is nice enough to let us pay the rent on her apartment. Due to space constraints at her foster home, she was bonded with...

Mei Mei & Brother - female and male litter-mates. Both Mini Lops. These two were also rescued from death row at the local high-kill shelter and brought to the SPCA where they went into foster until we met them. Mei Mei (Mandarin for "sister")is a beautiful all-white lop with blue eyes (got lucky there, I think). I think she looks like the Cadbury Bunny with her "hair" let down. Brother is all black with silver hairs down his back, like a silverback gorilla. He has a white spot on his nose that is always bouncing. A very portly gentleman.

I will post pics whenever I can find the cord to my camera. I think the bunnies ate it.

Anyway, like I said, we are very new to being bunny parents. I've always owned a zoo of dogs, cats, rats, etc. but I'm learning that bunnies are very different. We're slowly earning their trust and sometimes I wish we had gotten just one baby so we could have a kid that actually likes us. They are coming around, though. When we first got them, they wouldn't come anywhere near us, but now that they know who controls the salad, they are starting to brown-nose just a wee bit.

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome to RO and the world of being a bunny slave!

btw - We have the same name! Except I spell mine with a 'k'

Mine is paired with a Greek last name and since my Mom decided to spell it with a "C", it translates to "Henry" somehow. Thanks Mooooom. LoL

It is funny how much of a slave you do end up being. I thought it was bad with dogs. There really is never a dull moment with our kids. They are more of the look-but-don't-touch type, but definitely entertaining.

My cat brought in a baby cottontail the other day. Poor thing was scared to death and no bigger than a bar of soap. After an emergency rush to our bunny-guru at the SPCA, Jose (the ex) started wanting babies around. They really are adorable. I guess that means we'll be fostering soon.

And the zoo grows...

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.
