so any how i asked for this rabbit b/c previous owner had left him insun all day and then was gonna just let him loose w/ wild bunnys.. :X..i know nothing about rabbits.. even though i was a vet teck for 15yrs.. :headflick:i just saw that pix.. and well i have nottaken a pix of my bunny yet.. but he looks just like that .. well ihave 3 boys that love the rabbit, but the rabbit is a bit scared bythem now.. in fact he is not even that keen on me yet.. iknow it will take time.. his previous owner won him at a fair, thengave him little attention.. so he needs to learn to trust humans.. iwas invited hear by Emily.. i don't know her sn hear, but she is amod.. and she has given me allot of help on another board as far asgetting started w/ this rabbit.. and i have all ready made somemistakes, but i am learning...

i still have lots of questions so i will be brosing thisforum.. he is an intack male and i will need to get him nuetered..don't have a spraying problem yet.. but i don't wanna go thereeither...lol

Hi amswermarie! Welcome to the site!

You'll find that this site has such a wealth of information!Just about any question you could possibly have about bunnies can beanswered in the Rabbit 101 or Rabbit Health sections. Andanything else you don't find information about, feel free toask! We're always ready to answer questions, no matter howsilly, no matter how many you have! You'll findthe RO Family to be a very sweet, friendly, helpful group ofpeople.

Anyway, welcome to you and Oreo!! We look forward to seeing you around!

[maherwoman]

Hello Zoya! Welcome to the forum!

If you're wanting to better confirm what your bun's breed is, feelabsolutely free to post the question in the Rabbitry section of theforum (be prepared to give a pic and general stats of your bun, so theycan better tell you)! It's a section that isfull of people that raise buns to breed and/or show, so they know quitea lot about spotting and identifying bunny breeds.

Look forward to chatting with you!

Rosie*

P.S. You might already do this, but just in case, be sure toeither trim your kitty's claws or get him/her Soft Paws (or Soft Claws,same thing), so you know he/she cannot accidentally claw and/or injureyour bun during play. Just as a precaution. Bunsget absesses so easily, it's better to be safe than sorry. If you want any information on Soft Claws/Paws, feel freeto PM me to ask!

Hello,

We just recently adopted two rabbits from our local animal rescue. I am allergic to dogs and cats.

We read up a lot and made the rabbits a large NIC condo. :bunnydance:

One rabbit is named Bubbles (we didn't make up the names) , a Dutch (Iguess..) she is quite chubby and has a bit of a poopy butt problem butis very sweet.

The other rabbit is Einstein, he is supposedly part angora and partDutch, he looks like a little light brown Dutch with a few wild hairsaround his face making him appear a little mad scientisty.

Both are fixed.

They are both quite sweet, and getting used to living in a home.

They are not bonded but we are hoping they will be as they get used toeach other. Little Einstein is rather territorial so it will take alittle time.

 

[naturestee]

Welcome to the forum, JessicaS!

Thanks so much for adopting your rabbits. There really are alot of needy buns out there. And I looooovvvveeeDutch! Any chance you can post pictures? And thoseNIC condos are fab aren't they? I don't know what I'd dowithout those shelving grids.

As for Bubbles' poopy butt (and it is okay to change the name of ashelter bun, the last owner probably didn't teach it to them anyway),what was her diet like at the shelter? Many poopy buttrabbits do much better with lots of hay and a limited amount oftimothy, not alfalfa, pellets.

 

[JessicaS]

I intend to post pics but my digi camera batteries need some charging.

I am not sure what they were feeding them but she already seems to bedoing MUCH better than she was. They probably got a lot of pellets.

I just give them about 1/3-1/4 cup of pellets and then fresh greens anda pile of hay. The hay is the meadow mix kind, without alfalfa. Sheloves mustard greens, she picks them out of her greens and eats themfirst. She gets a couple of carrots now and then but we aren't givingher fruit so she can trim down a bit so she can reach her bottom.


She got a little exercise, we let them both out at once while I cleanedtheir cages and Einstein chased her around for a bit. We puthim back so she could get some more relaxing floor time.

ETA: Oh yes we love the NIC condos! I like the idea of being able toadd on or change things around. Once we can put them together we canjust make one big interesting condo rather than two.

Welcome kimandcocoa!

Your baby looks like a lionhead (either full-bred, or mixed)...how cute!

Look forward to chatting with you!

[KimandCocoa]

Yes Rosie you are right, he does have a bit oflionhead in him. But he's more of a dwarf I would say, so Ijust tell people he's a dwarf mix.
