Hello! Newbie from Sydney!

[l.lai]

Hey guys,

I'm from Sydney, bit of my rabbit background is that my sister bought a Mini Lop named LeeHom about 5 months ago, but she wasnt taking as good a care of it as i would have liked so i pretty much started taking care of it and playing with it everyday and really started enjoying rabbits as pets.

My sister however is very adament the rabbit is still hers, so i went and bought a rabbit i can play with more freely myself, i chose a Netherland Dwarf (named Racer), i am still not sure how good a breed choice this was as although its only been 1 week, Racer isnt anywhere near as affectionate as LeeHom is. I'm hoping this will change over time. People keep telling me that Nethies are never as affectionate and much more skittish, yet breeders i've spoken to say that this is not true and that they make great companions.

Only time will tell and i'll just have to handle Racer as much as possible and be patient to gain his trust!

LeeHom is very intelligent and will follow me around the house, Racer has just started eating out of my hands and climbing over me and sniffing my face instead of running away.


My Netherland Dwarf - Racer! (8.5 weeks old)

And the Mini Lop - LeeHom! (5 months old)

She doesn't look as cute as Racer but she's awesome!

:helloand :welcome1to RabbitsOnline, Lawrence. I think both of your bunny's are beautiful. I am glad you found the site. RO is a very active, friendly and helpful website devoted to rabbits and their slaves.

Here are some good links to areas of the site you might find interesting, the Library section, full of good reference info, Bunny Blog, where you can keep everyone up to date on your bunny and your life as a bunny slave and if you bunny would like to ask questions of other buns the Bunny Chat is the spot to be. The regional forum is a good way to find a rabbit savvy vet or to post places where you get some of your supplies for your bun etc. For the lighter side and to give you a chuckle or two stop by the go to the Let Your Hare Down section for anything but bunny's.

I hope I didn't overwhelm you with info. This is a wonderful site and I look forward to seeing more picturesof your buns and stories about them.

Dave
