Hello from Maryland =)

[Shari]

Hi my name is Shari and I'm new to the forums...I've been lurking around for two days now and I think this is the nicest rabbit forum I've found! Anyway...I'm not new to buns..I had a few ND's and Holland lops when I was younger. My fiancee and I had been discussing getting some bunnies for a little while now...my 7 year old son has really been wanting one lol, and we are animals lovers already owning Mocha, our pomeranian, two cats, George and Twinkie, and some fish. Anyway, we went to a carnival two weeks ago and I saw a little stand with a cage full of bunnies... I was instantly drawn to it to see what was going on. So we head over and they had a game there...if you get the golden egg you win a bunny. I know this isn't the best way to acquire a bunny and honestly after seeing a few people try and not win, I didn't think we would win either..but my fiancee pulled a gold egg on the first try lol. So we are now owners of what we were told is a flemish giant baby..7 weeks when we got him. To be fair they did have a full grown flemish there (their pet not part of the game) and a few more of their pet bunnies. I'm not sure if he's a pure flemish or not...I have no experience with these guys at all! We named him Cadbury (since he came from an egg lol). Anyway from what I can see he definitely looks like a sandy colored flemish. I'm trying to get pictures of him up so everyone can see him but I can't seem to resize my pics so they will fit on here.. I will say he's getting big fast! Even though we had no plans to get a flemish..we love him SO much! He's so adorable and funny! He will run around and binky and then he will flop down beside us and lick us lol. He is certainly part of the family...btw I haven't checked to see if Cadbury is a boy or girl yet, I've been giving him time to settle and be comfortable before doing that =) I'm still planning on getting some hollands at some point..but right now we just have our Cadbury bunny =) Sorry for rambling lol...I will post some pics as soon as I can figure it out!

Hello and welcome to Rabbits Online! Well, first of all, I agree that it certainly isn't the best to be giving bunnies out as prizes but it makes for a cute story for you since you already wanted one anyway :biggrin2: I've always loved the name Cadbury for a bunny. I'm suddenly thinking of those chocolate cream eggs... Anyway, back on topic Welcome to the forum and if you need help posting pics let us know! You should get them hosted on a site like Photobucket Can't wait to see!

 

[Shari]

Okay so I took your advice and put some pics up on Photobucket...hopefully this works!!

Awww adorable! Yaaay thank you for sharing!

* If ever you want to add pictures directly, you can copy and paste the IMG code - on the left I believe. Also, If the pictures are quite large you can resize them either by clicking 'resize and selecting a size-large is usually good or by clicking 'more options' under the upload button and it will resize them all automatically before uploading them. I had that problem with my pictures but, thanks to some helpful members, I now know what to do with them

 

[Shari]

Ah okay, thank you very much for your help!

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. Cute story, but the poor rabbits, nice looking bunny, I love flemish giants.

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.
