I was glad to find this forum. We adopted a male rabbit in March. I believe he is a mini lop. His name is Mr. Marshmellow. You can see his photo on this webpage that I wrote about him. http://www.squidoo.com/pet-rabbit-care-facts

I do have a couple questions I need help with and will post in the appropriate topic.

welcome to RO

edit: btw, carrots should be really limited due to the high sugar content... and be careful with large amounts of cabbage/broccoli as those can cause gas which rabbits have a hard time passing
