Hello!

[befulina]

Hi,

I am a grad student in Minneapolis, at the University fo Minnesota. I just took home my new (and only) bunny yesterday. He is a 7 week old Holland Lop, white with broken black-otter coloration (I think that's how you would describe it?...or maybe I just made that up? lol). I had rabbits as a child who were very well cared for, but lived outside in hutches. This is my first time having a rabbit in my adult life, as well as my first house rabbit.

Elmo is doing great so far. He lives in an exercise pen with a small cat kennel to hide in, lots of hay and lots of toys. He seems very curious and friendly. I can't wait for him to become more used to me and for me to get to know him better.

This site is an amazing resource...thanks in advance for all the advice and help!

Elmo at home in his pen:

You can kind of see the brown spot on the back of his neck in this one:

And the brown on the tip of his nose:

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.

Elmo is a very handsome bun. Great pictures.

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.
