Hello from Ipswich, Suffolk

[vicki250679]

Hi, my name is Vicki. I'm married to Tony and we have 5 children, Kimberley (10), Charlie (7), the twins Harry & Louise (5) and the baby, Alfie (3).

My first rabbit was given to me when I was 6 years old by a family friend. We were told it was a female Dwarf...when we went on holiday, another family friend looked after "Babbit" and when we returned we found the "she" was actually a "he" and subsequently 7 little Babbits were born! Also, our little Dwarf was actually a Californian!!!!

Babbit died at the grand old age of 8 1/2 after a battle with cancer. Naturally I was devestated.

Since then I have always had a rabbit...

When Kimberley and Charlie were old to for the responsibility of a pet, we bought a rabbit for Kimberley and Charlie chose a guinea pig. I then decided that I wanted my own rabbit so bought Silver...then Blackberry...then Snowdrop...then Cowslip...then Dandelion...then The Colonal...then Fiver...then Bluebell...then Willow, Vervain and The General...then Violet and Clover...then Pipkin was born...then Acorn and Haystack...then Speedwell...then Kingcup and Butterbur and finally Buckthorn, Nightshade, Holly and Silverweed.

Now all the children are at school (well, Alfie does mornings) Tony and I decided to start up a rabbit sanctuary. Most of my rabbits are rescue rabbits...each one is very much loved and handled everyday.

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.

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.
