Hello from PA!

Hello!

I have been thinking about getting a bun for a few months. I have chinchillas but they are not a lap animal by any means and so I've been longing for a pet I can actually pet while it's out of its cage. There was a rabbit show near here last weekend and I popped in, the first thing I noticed was how many people were sitting with rabbits just sitting on their laps! No chin would ever sit still like that without being held tight!

I took the time to walk the room and pick out a few breeds I liked, then came home and have been researching those breeds and general bunny care since. That's how I found this forum.

I don't have a bun yet but I will be picking one up (maybe two!) from a breeder in about 10 days. In the meantime I have ordered NIC panels for making a pen, and will be gathering toys and food. I can't wait! =)

Were you at the State College show by any chance? That's where I was.

Brenda - I am getting an American Blue doe. It is pet quality because she has some white on her tail. I was also thinking of getting an English Spot because I really like the dalmatian look of them, but I gather that that's a high energy breed? I'm not certain it would be a good breed for a first time owner. Plus I worry the American will be too large of a cagemate for a Spot, so I may wait to get a Giant Chinchilla which the breeder I'm getting the American from also raises and should be having a litter this week.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. =)

Yes - I was judging at State College at one of the middle tables (where it was extraordinarily hot and I though I was going to die).

I was only there a couple hours in the morning, mostly before the judging began. I left when it started to get warm. =p =) I look forward to going to another show again though.

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.
