I'm new here

[Ral]

I'm Ral from Florence, AZ and I've been retired 5 years. After our beloved Bambi died in January of 2007, we felt we would not get another bunny but I got to the point that I just had to hold a bunny. I called a shelter in Mesa to request a visit but no one replied. While at the sales office I do work for (Webmaster services), a lady who had a bunny overheard me talking with another person about my love for bunnies and came to ask and she pulled me to a distant corner and asked about my love for bunnies. I let her know that I've just got to find a bunny to hold. She said she has one that I could hold and she's looking for a good home for it. I visited later the same day Oct 07. She took a picture of me holding her Domino. Later that evening, I showed the picture to my wife and she said I could get the bunny. I had the bunny in my home the same evening. Since having him, I had him neutered (a rough day for me as I didn't want to leave him at the vet). Since it was hot the day I had him neutered, I took some sliced carrot sticks in chilled water and some fresh hay and fed them when I picked him up. It was a welcome treat for him and since the carrot pieces were soaking, he got a refreshing drink at the same time. Since the neuter, he has become the perfect pet. He's such a sweetie!!!

Welcome to the forum!:wave: What a cute story.

I have relatives in AZ, I was out there last Feb, near Phoenix, I loved it! I keep seeing buns that need homes on Petfinder in Mesa. (If ever you want to get another bun, you could check their site.)

Congrats on getting another bun, aren't they great? I'd love to see pics when you get a chance too. What kind is he? Do you know? If not, feel free to ask in our Rabbitry section, knowedgable breeders will be able to help you out with that.

Again, Welcome Ral!

Welcome! I'm looking forward to hearing more about Domino. Feel free to start a bunny blog and post pictures. We love pictures!

Well Domino has his own web site, even his own email. He sends pictures of himself every so often with a brief update on how things are going for him. See his site at: www.ivoa.com/Domino.htm. I love him so very much. There's also some pictures of Bambi that I saved from his site and also some of Cookie (a wild cottontail I raised). Cookie actually had the most extensive web site and I had the domain name "hipityhop.com" for Cookie. I'm not sure if I posted my original message in the right place - this list is new to me. I'm used to yahoo groups and am thelist owner of a few yahoo groups but this one so far, has been somewhat confusing to me...Ral

You did post in the right place, no worries. Just have a look around and try to get used to the feel of it, if you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to ask.

I must check out Domino's site too!

Welcome, Ral!


I am from Prescott, Arizona...and I am extremely happy to see another bunny lover from Arizona join the forum. We currently have 3 other active AZ members...myself, Tracy (who will soon welcome you, I am sure!), and JamesCarden (who lives in Glendale)...and now you !

I have three neutered male bunnies....Marlin, Morgan, and Brody. I am currently trying to bond all three :shock:.

I can't wait to hear more about Domino and see pictures.



Again, glad to have you here :biggrin2:!
