Hello, I'm a newbie

[Jesi215]

:big wink:Hello, my name is Jesi & I am a new bunny owner. I am 33 yrs old & I live in West Viginia. I've always wanted a bun bun. I read up on Bunnies first. There's alot of confusing things out there. Some say Iceburg lettuce is bad, others say they have been feeding them it for years with no problems & now I read in the news that carrots are bad b/c they rot their teeth over time. Arrrrrrg:XBut I realy wanted one & I fell in love with the dwarf rabbit breed. I have 3 dogs, & 2 cats already so I thought small would be the way to go.:biggrin:So I picked up a adorable little guy & named him Mellow b/c he was so calm during the whole ride home ect.

He's black w/ blue eyes. Thats realy what did it for me. So If anyone has any advice for a newbie, Mellow & I would really apreciate it. Thanx:bunny18

No iceberg, its not even good for ppl. And carrots are high in sugar cheerios work great for trests!!

Id make sure you have a good rabbit vet in case of emergencies and nuetering mr mellow when if comes to that. And def start litter box training. Cat box from walmart and some sort of bedding, i use equine fresh personally and give him lots of hay. And pet store cages are bad generslly too small, so return it if you got one and look at nic cages their cheap and cool!

Mellow will have a lot to adjust too. Pics of furkids!

Welcometo 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.

Hopefuly, your bunny will never get sick,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

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.
