Hi

[Flopsyrabbit]

Hi,

I have never owned a rabbit before but have wanted one for many years. I have read and watched everything from rabbits for dummies to 101 rabbits on youtube. My mum made a deal with me that if by june I think that I can look after a rabbit I may be able to get one but in the mean time I want to learn everything I can before I get one.

hello and welcome to the forum! look forward to pictures of your future bun and hope you learn a lot here!

any idea what kind of bun youll be gettng?

Welcome. You'll find good information in the library section.

Welcome! RO is a great place to learn about rabbits. The library has lots of info as well as the conversations.

How old are you and do you know what kind of rabbit you will be getting? Shameless plug for adoption here, lots of rabbits are in need of homes. Something to think about.

Hi, you'll find this website very important - and fun - for your research! There are lots of info about bunnies here, also nice blogs where you can read stories told by bunny owners and see the most delightful pics!
I'd suggest that, when you decide to have a bunny (or more than one!) you adopt them, instead of buying. Many bunnies need a home and a best friend!

Thank you and yes I am thinking about getting one from a shelter but the shelter here only sells cats and dogs. I am 13 and my parents know i am on here. Thankyou for all your kind words I am thinking about getting a dwarf lop if I can't get one from a shelter. Though I might get one from a breeder that has a rabbit who is finished showing or something.

Sometimes a rabbit will not quite meet the standards for the breed, slight differences we non-show people wouldn't notice.

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.
