[New to Rabbits]

Hello,

We are in New Brunswick, Canada.

We just got a rabbit. We have wanted one for years, and havebeen reading rabbit-books.After living in apartments which either did not allow pets or were unsuitable for them, we have our own place with a little backyard. We have no other pets. The bunny(Felix) will be thoroughly pampered.

We got him yesterday from a pet shop (we were planning to adopt, but he was really cute and friendly, and we ended up getting him) He is hand-riased, and a Rex-Dwarf cross. I had expected him to be timid, but that is not really the case, he's very inquisitive and seems to like being gently petted.

We got him a big"deluxe" cage that he seems to like and are also letting him roam the living room under close supervision.

Welcome to RO!

Congratulations on your new bunny. Sounds like you have a good set up for him. Are you planning on building a little outside run for him in the backyard? Our bunnies are inside rabbits, but we always get them out in good weather. And they love it! And if you really want to spoil your bunny, you can always plant some wheat grass in the run or have a small garden with lots of bunny treats in it.

Just a word of warning, veggies are good for bunnies, but need to be introduced gradually to them. And not until they are atleast 6 months old. Bunnies digestive systems are very delicate and need to mature.

Look forward to discussing bunnies. They are really an awesome critter to have around.

Hello,

We will definitely be making him a hutch / protected garden area.

Definitely post a pic. Would love to see what you did. I think the combination is an excellent environment for a bunny.

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.
