Hi

[Camaro19]

I just made my first post in housing, but wanted to intro myself.

My name is Patti. My husband and I bought Mila, a black Holland Lop, for Valentine's day and she is now 7 months old. She is our second bunny. Our first was Buttons, a Jersey Wooly. My husband bought me Buttons for my 18th birthday and he lived to be 10 years, 10 months and 8 days old. I was heartbroken when he died and it took me 2 years to be ready for a new bunny.

I was finally ready and I have my little Mila-monster now. She is very friendly and has never bitten me or anyone else, but she's not the cuddler Buttons was, this is taking some getting used to. She absolutely hates being picked up. Buttons I could pick up with one hand under his belly and "superman swoop" him with no reaction from him but a sigh. Mila has gotten to where she will let me pick her up, but she is extremely tense and I can rarely put her back down without getting scratched. This is my challenge...

Well, that's a little about me and Mila. I'll probably be posting more now that I've broken the ice.

Welcome to RO. It's a rare bunny that likes being held and will let you pick them up. It takes time and most will tolerate but never like. Darn!

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.

Welcome to the forum Patti! :welcome1

Give Mila some time to get use to the picking up andholding. When I first started to hold my Pebbles, I would wrap her up in a towel and cradle her like a baby in my arms.
