Hello from WA

Hi all,
My sister and I both got our first rabbits in April.
They are both blue dutch does, but they came from separate breeders.
Mine's name is Lily and they both are around 16 weeks old.
I have two issues I'd like to ask about.
One: Lily is pretty high strung and I often have a hard time getting her out of her cage.

Two: We tried tried putting them together in the playpen with hopes that they would socialize. Lila (My sisters rabbit) was definitely more dominant over Lily and started a fight between the two.

Any tips from all you seasoned rabbit owners?

You have to give her time to settle in a be comfortable with you. Not all bunnies like to be handled or held and it comes with time, to a degree. Second, any bonding has to be done slowly and in a neutral area. One bunny will always be a dominant however. Not all can be bonded either.

Hi I would suggest getting them fixed when they are old enough? That could really help to bond them.

That is a very cute bunny in your Avitar. Is that Lily?

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.

Susan,
Thank you for your suggestion. I may fix Lily when she's older,
but my sister is hoping to breed Lila.

Yes that is Lily, I'll tell her you you said she was cute!
