:hello Welcome to RO!

It's great to see another member from Ireland, we have a few others. You will find varying opinions on cage size depending on who you talk to. You want a cage/hutch that is wide enough for your bunny to stretch out completely. The length should be enough for bunny to take 3-4 hops. For height you want it big enough so the bunny can comfortably stand on his/her hind legs. For a run I would say a good sized one would be where the bunny can get some good exercise; zooming around and doing binkies freely. I hope this helps a bit.

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.

There are many opinions like Happi Bun said. You can have a large cage if the bun will be spending a majority of its time in it, or a slightly smaller cage if your bun is going to be out frequently or for a few hours a day. The larger the bun, the larger the cage. Many people believe that as long as the bun can stretch out fully and hop some that is big enough.

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.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.
