[align=center]It's.. blank?

Ah! it didn't work! how do I add pictures!

But that's not my question. Trying to put in the picture got rid of everything I wrote!

Anyways.

Iam Emy. I live in Canada and was a once time owner of 3 amazing rabbits.

(R.IP. Light, Coffee, and De'cafe ):rip:

Anyways My question is:

My old friend of the family is a farmer who breeds rabbits... meat rabbits. He has One of his breeding rabbits going into retirement so He asked if I could take him, I said yes, Considering I know the rabbit very well and when ever Iam there Iam with the rabbit.

The rabbits name is Niko. 4-6 years old, Gentle and very loving.

My question is , is it a good idea to adopt a rabbit so old? Will he get used to the new place well?

Personally I think an animal is never too old to love. We inherited my husband's grandmother's cat when she passed. The cat was 14 and had been indoor/outdoor her whole life. She adjusted well to being indoor only. Unfortunately she passed recently, but her last months were happy and comfortable.
To be realistic if they are not used to being handled or litter boxed you may have more work to teach an older animal. If the bun already knows you specifically you are ahead of the game.

I say go for it. I adopted a 3 year old FL and she has been an amazing bun. animals are good adapters and learn quickly. It also helps that he/she already knows you. I have adopted many older animals and they have all been great.

Very cute. Would not worry too much about it. We've rescued several "older" rabbits and had no problems to speak of. They all adapted to our routine and have become wonderful family members.

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.

Niko has many happy years ahead with you.

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.
