hi from canada

[karatemom]

my daughter's friend gave us a very cute bunny they no longer wanted to care for.. whe i asked what food it was on, the little girl told me they only gave it carrots and lettuce.. so i went to the pet shop and bought some rabbit feed,apple tree sticks and a harness.
Its very scared so im only letting my daughter be the one who holds and feeds her so that she can get use to her.

Aww, carrots and lettuce? How sad. Thank you for taking Kiwi in!

Do you know how old Kiwi is?

Do you have hay for your new addition? Bunnies should have access to hay 24/7. Most people give them alfalfa hay up until 7 months of age, then they switch over to timothy hay. You can also mix in some other hays for variety if you would like to.

On your bag of rabbit feed it will tell you whether it's alfalfa based or timothy based. Same drill with the pellets. If your rabbit is less than 7 months old it can be alfalfa based, but if Kiwi is older than that then make sure your pellets are timothy based.

Kiwi will take some time to adjust to being moved and treated differently and being surrounded by unusual smells. She should start to relax some more in a few days, but it's possible she'll always be a little skittish.

Be sure to spam us with photos soon and most of all, enjoy your new addition! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask all of us here on the forums. We're always happy to help!

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.

That is great you took in Kiwi, sounds like Kiwi has proper slaves now. A way for the rabbit to get aquainted with you and your daughter is to let it out to explore, sit or lay on the floor and read or watch tv. Rabbits hate to be ignored and the bun will come over to see why your not paying attention to it. It sounds like it may take a while but Kiwi will come around.

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.

:wave: Hello and welcome to RO. Glad you have Kiwi now--sounds like she was neglected before and with a rabbit that is really horrid as they are very social and loving under the right conservator.
