Hello from the PNW!!

[dmarlin]

Hope everyone is having a lovely day!! My name is Desirae, just rescued a satin angora and figured I would introduce myself instead of just lurking lol.

I have always had rabbits and loved them. Kinda wish I was still a teen so I could do 4-h again lol.

I aqquired a black male satin angora. The previous owner is an old coworker of mine, and I am horrified at the condition he is in. His hind end is a mess. He is matted and gross. His tail is nothing but one big, nasty mat. Last night I sheared him down on his back, dematted his neck and behind his ears, his belly and started on his back legs. I just let him chill and eat today. He is very thin. I can feel every rib, hip points, his spine. He is like a little skeleton with fur.

He is a total sweetheart though! Loves to be cuddled. He fell asleep on my lap within 15 minutes of opening his cage door. I am amazed at how trusting he is.

Iam hoping he gains weight fast. He has unlimited Timothy, he has decided that his box it is in, is a good place to sleep of course. He also has unlimited pellets for the time being.

Tomorrow im going to start in on his tail, then give him a bath. Hope he handles a blow dryer well lol.

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.

I am glad you rescued the little fluffy guy. I hope he puts on that weight, he sounds beautiful.

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.
