Hello all,

I have a 5 month old black mini lop named Penny. She is so sweet. I've read a few articles on rabbit communication and behavior to help me understand her and help us to bond. Today she accepted my request to be groomed, and groomed my hair for me, then we did some dancing. She spends her days playing in the living room, she does really well with our 3 cats and 3 dogs. They all get along great, no fighting. At bedtime, she goes in her "house" or bunny hutch, my dad built it for me, it has 2 floors and plenty of room. I had a mini lop when I was a teen, but it's so different having one at 30. I want to spend more time with her now and learn as much as I can about communicating with her.

I look forward to getting to know you all

Definitely different having a rabbit at an older age. Put 20 more years to yours and that's when I got my first rabbits. lol. I think the communication part, or learning how to communicate with a rabbit is a little more easier when you are older. For me it has been. More patience. That's the key.

So glad to hear all is well with you and Penny. It's the best part of being a slave to bunnies. Learning how to communicate. And some of their ways they do, are frustrating (marking, chewing, digging) but others, just make you laugh.

Look forward to hearing how it goes with Penny.

I would like to 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.

Many bunnies’ 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.

Here are somelinks 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.

*The House Rabbit Society has a lot of good information on what veggies are safe for bunny’s, etc.

*Here is a link to learn what your furry master is trying to say to you How to Understand Your Bunny's Language

*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.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and I am glad you have joined rabbits online; I look forward to seeing you around.
