Introduction

[RustedRabbit]

Pleased to make your acquaintance - this is my first time reaching out to a rabbit community and, honestly, I am a bit nervous. I've spent a lot more time with dogs and dog people, so I'm used to talking like them. Not that it should be much different, but I know rabbits are completely different creatures.

My baby girl, Lupin, is now approximately eight years old and entering her golden years. Despite her progressively graying coat and increased napping, she's as outrageous and energetic as ever. I've had her since she was a young one, so small she could fit in my 12 year old hand, and I love her dearly. Early on her care fell mostly to me, as other people in the house started to forget her in favour of the new dog. To make up for that, I'm trying to give her the best golden years I possibly can, and I'm hoping to get some suggestions on some things I can do for her.

She does get free run of my room at least twice every week (with all the wires covered up and hidden, of course!) fresh greens every night before bed and a constant supply of fresh timothy hay. She's a good healthy weight, and always lets me know when it's time for some lovins; even to the point of jumping on my keyboard while I'm working!

And without further ado, here's the lovely lady of the hour;

She's acting shy for the camera. What a fooler.

TL;DR - Hi, my name is Marina, and that up there is my baby girl Lupin, for whom my screen name is...well, named.

Welcome to RO. Very cute bunny. We had a rescue named Ted and he was well over ten years--his favorite thing was sleeping, eating, and paper bags. He would sleep about 21 hours a day.

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.

A very cute bunny.

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.
