Hello!

[ThumperGabby]

Hello! Just adopted our first bunny today. His name is Gabriel (However, my daughter has dubbed him "Thumper"). I have no idea what breed he is, hoping someone can help figure that out from the pictures. He's an indoor bunny with an entire room to himself! Looking forward to reading and sharing some stories here!


Gabriel/Thumper

Another one

Looks like a mixed breed--possible there is some Hotot in the mix. Looks a little like our boy Finn.

I thought mix too. The adoption paper said "purebreed" but I can't find anything he looks like! He is an absolute dream though. We got all set up and I went in and sat with him while my wife (who will probably also be posting under this account) went and got some essentials (He had already been neutered and we actually got to take him home with us on the spot!) and I just lay there browsing the internet on my phone and letting him explore. He came up to me almost immediately, nudged my leg a few times then proceeded to bite on my jeans! I wish I'd read the Info kit the HS sent home with us before he did that. From what it says that means he wanted petted! He is so friendly and outgoing it's amazing. I was expecting a long, somewhat drawn out ordeal in getting him used to us, and especially our 3 year old daughter, but he just went right up to her and demanded to be petted!

Welcome to the forum. Perhaps you could compromise on the name & make Thumper his last name [or middle name if your family name is his last name, lol.

Nipping [a real bite would be bloody] is to be discouraged by yelping. Rabbits need to understand we don't have the protective hair they do & it hurts. There is lots more information in the library section.

I would like to 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 bunnies’ 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.

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

*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.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and I am glad you have joined rabbits online; I look forward to seeing you around.
