:helloand :welcome1to RabbitsOnline. I am glad you found the site. RO is a very active, friendly and helpful website devoted to rabbits and their slaves.

Takes a little while for them to adjust. Don't chase if you can, rabbits are prey animals and if they are being chased they will definitely run away. One thing you can try and this takes time is just sit on the floor, watch tv, read a book etc. Rabbits hate to be ignored and will eventually come over to see what your doing. Slowly try and pet them, try stroking them from the nose to the ears. It can take a little while to gain a rabbits trust.

Here are some good links to areas of the site you might find interesting, the Library section, full of good reference info, Bunny Blog, where you can keep everyone up to date on your bunny and your life as a bunny slave and if you bunny would like to ask questions of other buns the Bunny Chat is the spot to be. The regional forum is a good way to find a rabbit savvy vet or to post places where you get some of your supplies for your bun etc. For the lighter side and to give you a chuckle or two stop by the go to the Let Your Hare Down section for anything but bunny's.

Here is link to the rules of the site, light reading Rabbits Online Forum Rules.

If you would like to post pictures in your post this link How to put photo's in your posts will help explain that.

I hope I didn't overwhelm you with info. This is a wonderful site and I look forward to seeing pictures and reading some stories.

most rabbits dont like being held at all and some never like benig tuoched or petted. If you just got the rabbit you needto give it time to get used to everything and you, you're scary to him.
Get some cheerios and lay down on the ground. jus talk to him, dont force him into your lap. you cat force anything to like you.
 
Hi,

When I first got my first rabbit I got most of my care, behaviour information from the "House Rabbit Society" web site. This is an organisation based in California and the site is an excellent source of information.

Good luck. Buns are wonderful, but neutering or spaying, (by a vet who is skilled at this) is so important and makes a world of difference to a buns behaviour, and happiness!
