Hi to all,

I'm new here since yesterday, where I posted a thread about the decision to euthanize my very sick bunny Earl. I was amazed at the supportive and very informative responses that I received. What an amazing community of bunny folks!

I've been a bunny companion for 2.5 years starting with Ula, my dutch/dwarf/mutt, who me and my boyfriend adopted from our local humane society. She's been such a wonderful companion and is full of personality and love. She's thankfully not had any health issues so far, and is about 4.5 yrs old now.

My sister adopted Earl from the humane society over a year ago and decided that she didn't have room for him, so me and my boyfriend took him in. A grey Netherland dwarf (mix?), he was small in stature and very shy. He had health problems early on (stasis) and then developed a skin infection that he didn't recover from. I miss that little guy dearly, but am realizing that the decision to euthanize was probably the best for him. I just wish he could have lived a longer life.

So now it's just me, my boyfriend, and Ula. I'm excited to participate in this forum futher though and discuss some of her bunny antics!

Nice to meet everyone and thanks for your support and for building this amazing community!!

This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad youâre here and I know you will enjoy it. Great picture, cute bunny.

If you have 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 bunnyâs like talk to each other when we mere slaves arenât 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 otherâs bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery.
