Hello from Cinci, OH

[housetb]

I just bought my cute little bunny this past Friday. Her name is Marshmellow (purposely spelled with "mellow" instead of "mallow" because she is super chill). The pet store had her listed as a Lionhead Dwarf, but her hair is nothing like a Lionhead... It resembles more of a Netherland Dwarf, so that's what I have concluded she is. Not sure how old she is, but she seems pretty young. Very excited about the addition to the family though!

Congratulations. Pet stores are most often a less than reliable source of info, especially with bunnies. Most of the shelters aren't much better. Very cute bunny--enjoy.

Yes, I learned that this week. Our little girl just passed last night because the store told us she had wet tail, which I found out is only diagnosed in hamsters... We are looking to get another though.

There are TONS more options in Ohio then a petstore. Please consider that. If they tell you its already sick, do NOT buy it.


and welcome to the site!

We got our new bunny this morning. His name is Rue. Its another dwarf rabbit, not sure what type though. He is already acting 10x better than our first. He is eating and drinking tons and its been an hour! Thanks for the welcome Nancy and Gorby!

oh I'm so sorry about Marshmellow...
but I'm glad you got Rue now. I hope you have lots of fun with him. Post some pics some time, you know if you want to keep a bunny diary, or a blog s we call it (hehe), you can create a blog for Rue here. It's pretty cool, there are lots of rabbit lovers who like to read stories about cute bunnies and see pics..
Welcome to RO!

Welcome! I hope your new bun bun brings you happiness.

We're so sorry to hear of Marshmellows passing. Things like this are why the first thing we do with a new rescue is go to the vet before they get put in with the "herd". Hello to Rue.

 

[Ashleighh]

Congrats on Rue and sorry to hear about Mellow.
Welcome to the forms!

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.

Sorry about Marshmellow's passing.

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.
