Hello from Sideways

[beatbandolier]

My downstairs neighbor's mom has a lot of land out in the country and raises rabbits. She brought Sideways by for her son, but his apartment doesn't have carpet, and I sort of ended up with the little guy.

He was born with a splayed back right leg. I'm saving some money to take him to a very rabbit friendly vet in the next couple of weeks and see what his options are.

He can't use the litter box at all and has to use diapers a good bit of the time. I change him often and keep him clean to prevent skin irritation. Luckily I work from home so I can change him every couple of hours and take good care of him.

Anyway, kind of went off on a tangent. I'm sure I'll be asking for lots of advice, so thanks in advance.

I tried to add an image, but it turns out I can't find it. He's a grey and white Lop.

[align=center]Welcome to RO =)

That sounds tough, but I'm glad you're doing that for Sideways. A lot of people would not go through with that work. I had to do something similar when my rabbit broke his front leg. I had to hand feed him all the time and force him to drink water. Stuff like that.

I hope you can find the picture soon, he sounds cute =)

Hello and welcome to RO. We use pads for one of ours--she lays on them in her hutch and goes through 2 a day.

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.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.
