Salutations

[Synesthetic Soul]

Hello all my name is Stephanny. I just brought home a sweet boy bunny (who I've yet to name) and decided to sign up for this forum. I've done plenty of research so I know the basic DOs and DON'Ts for caring for bunny.

Right now I'm letting him be as he is terrified and trying to think of a name for my sweet boy. :3

 

[Nancy McClelland]

welcome to RO. We usually use names from movies and literature.

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

Thanks. I have a friend who named her rabbit Chuck Norris. =P

 

[Whiskerz]

Hi, welcome!!!
Id love to see pics of him! POST!!! leaseplease:

And you might find this thread helpful, http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=59431&forum_id=1
Its a thread I posted because I was having trouble with names too.

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

Pics it is!

 

[Whiskerz]

Aw, pretty! His markings are unique..
What breed is he? Do you plan to litter box train him?
Have you thought about building a C&C cage yet? Those are the BEST bunny cages!!! so Iv herd!...thats why I built one :biggrin:

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

C&C? What does that mean?

Right now his cage is 4 times his size laying down (12 times if he's sitting up), twice his height if he stands on his hind legs.

I was told he was a dwarf but I think I'll have to wait and see! Haha. I will get pictures of the entire set up very soon.

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

Here's his current set-up. Bunny has a mansion right now. Hahaha!

 

[Whiskerz]

C&C cages are made from those metal Panels used to make shelves, but what some people don't know is they make GREAT rabbit cages too!!!!

Here is a link to 2010 cages, there are some C&C cages shown there: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=54903&forum_id=93
Here is a link to 2009 cages: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=46713&forum_id=93

Hope these help. Any other questions, just ask.

Post number 5 in the 2010 page is AWESOME!
I just might have to steal that idea for my own bunny! Haha, the mister is gonna be all "oh no".

 

[Whiskerz]

yeah, there are some pretty cool cage ideas on here!
Pet store cages really arnt the best unless used as a temporary,over night, or open free range cage.
Most people make there own cages which always seam to be a lot better

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

While that's true, my current cage is really big for my bunny. I'm also getting some of those "NIC" panels to make him a nice playpen in so he can get his exercise.
Someone told me about 2 hours a day but I'm not so sure on that.

 

[Whiskerz]

Truthfully... Your cage may seam "big" but it really isnt. No pet store cage is really big enough. Even though your rabbit is small, the cage still is too small. I can tell in the pic. Rabbits need LOOOOTS of room. I am sure lots of people on the forum will agree with me too. I am not trying to be mean, just trying to help out with your cage deal.

And for the out of cage play time, a bunny needs a lot more time than just 2 hours a day. That's if its a caged bunny, if its a free roam bunny, then that's a different story.

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

I figured, there's sooo many hours in a day that 2 doesn't seem enough.

I'm not trying to argue but I don't know how well you're seeing the cage, it's like 8 times his size.
Still, I don't plan on keeping him there all of the time. I know I wouldn't want to be locked up all the time.

I really wanna copy that idea I mentioned earlier because it looks great for a trained rabbit and would give him a lot of space until someone gets home to play.

 

[Whiskerz]

Well maybe, just wait for some others to come around from the forum, they can give there opinions on your cage. Remember, what I said is just MY opinion. Doesn't mean its right... nor does it mean its wrong.

But until then, you can try and think of some ideas of building a cage like the one you like

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

Yes, I am dooooomed. Hahaha. He needs toys too. Hmm...

 

[Whiskerz]

PetSmart and Petco are a black hole that takes all your money! Dont go there.. I just spent over $150 like 2 days ago because I went in there... :rollseyes

 

[Synesthetic Soul]

Hahahaha! I was thinking more on the lines of things I have around the house, like boxes and bags.

I gave a friend a rabbit about 5-6 years ago and she NEVER plays with store-bought toys. Only things like my friend's shoe, or his favorite star-wars toy. Hahaha!

 

[Maddy]

Welcome to website. I hope you like it as much as everyone else.
Your bunny is also VERY cute! [:

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.

Many bunny's 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.

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. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

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