Hi everyone!

This is my first post to the forum :) I am 25, and I live in Michigan. I recently acquired 3 Tan (breed) rabbits that I plan on breeding/showing. I've been doing research for years now and it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now that I'm married, with my own house, and financially stable I think that it's time!

I am currently a Vet Tech student. I also own 5 guinea pigs, 2 cats, a chihuahua, a border collie, a blue&gold macaw, a cockatiel, and 2 mice. It's a bit of a zoo around here, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

My beautiful Tans are named Guise, Guardian and Ringer. Two does (guardian, ringer) and a buck (Guise). They really are such a joy, and I'm surprised at how cuddly one of the does is. The buck is an absolute sweetheart, and a very mellow guy.
 
Welcome!!

Tans are awesome. I got 2 bucks at the end of June. I don't breed or show, but I am using them for Rabbit Hopping. They are fun little guys who will keep you on your toes and keep you entertained.

So true! I was actually wondering how well Tans would do with Rabbit Hopping! They seem to be quite smart and agile, so I would assume that they'd be wonderful at it.

I don't think we have anything like that here, at least near me. I think it would be really fun to have competitions and such!
 
Mine are doing fairly well at this point. They both do understand it, they just aren't quite up to speed yet. Neither one seems to really get the high jump yet, but that will take some more time to work with them. They both enjoy it and will binky over some jumps (wish they had better timing and didn't knock over the poles :p ). They are more focused now than where they started, but that is still Tan focus which is less that other rabbit focus.
Another club member has a Belgian hare Tan cross who does really well too.

You could start your own club if you wanted to :D They all have to start somewhere.
 
hii! C: i'm from michigan too! (we have a lot of michigan people on here!)

welcome to ro! PICTURES? :hearts:
 
It would be lovely to get a group started around here! Perhaps I can get something started once I get to know other bunny lovers in my area. I've looked up videos on youtube, and not only are the bunnies absolutely adorable, but some of the jumps they come up with (design wise) are so precious!

Hello Yield! I'm glad to hear that there are many Michigan rabbit lovers here! I see that in your avatar you mention a "Sabriel" is that from a book? I remember reading the first one of a series with that name...I believe it was "Lirael" or something to that effect, and I've always loved the name "Sabriel".

I will post some pictures soon, I plan on doing a photo shoot tomorrow. My rabbit "Ringer" is set as my avatar, but it's a pretty grainy picture. :)

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.

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.
