Hi, looking for rabbit info.

[petluver]

Hi!

I live in Ohio - I have at 1 time fostered a rabbit. I dont remeber now what type he was but he was huge & lazy LoL! We only kept him about 7 days ... but now were interested in getting one for our family!

I know we dont want a huge one like "forest, was his name" but I also dont want a tiny one... Which breeds make best for 1st time rabbit pet owners? I know basics, about caging, diet - toys. But nothing about behavior issues, box training ect..

I want something medium sized. I have a 10lb rat terrier, an older tiny cat & a couple parrots.

Hi petluver! Welcome to RO!

I'm not familiar enough with breeds to tell you which ones are best for new owners. I do think it's worth it to check out your local shelters/rescues as there are many mixed breed buns out there that make great pets too!

Hope that helps!

Welcome to the forum!!! Definitely check out the rescues then you can see what an adult looks like and you will know their temperament right off the bat.

:helloand :welcome1to RabbitsOnline. I am glad you found the site. RO is a very active, friendly and helpful website devoted to rabbits and their slaves.

Here is a link to the Ohio House Rabbit Society, it will be a good place to start to find rabbit rescues near you.

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.

Here is link to the rules of the site, light reading Rabbits Online Forum Rules.

You don't have to say what city your in but if you could update your profile withthe areayour in, may be likeNorth west Ohio, that would help others provide you with info that may help you and your future bunny.

If you would like to post pictures in your post this link How to put photo's in your posts will help explain that.

I hope I didn't overwhelm you with info. This is a wonderful site and I look forward to seeing pictures and reading some stories.
