It must be drop off season!

[Gumby]

Hi everyone, my name is Renay, I'm here because last Wednesday my boyfriend went to work and found a rabbit running around the busy parking lot. He spent 15 minutes chasing the bunny who was under a car (he works as a mechanic) and would run from one end to the other without coming out. Finally the little guy decided to go over to the neighbors to munch on their flowers and Nik caught him.

When I arrived home, I was told to go upstairs and look in the cat carrier - "no you're not allowed to keep it, you have to find a home for it" so, I had no idea what it was and assumed it was a cat (it would be understandable that I wasn't to keep it, we already have three!)... Boy was I surprised when I seen the little guy sitting inside. He is absolutely adorable (I'll attach pictures to proveit lol).

I had a friend in mind who may want him, but it ended up being a no go, within two days I was already in love with the rabbit anyway, and over the weekend Nik called it "his" rabbit, so we know hes here to stay! He for the first time since here, did a popcorn today and I was so happy!

I noticed that in another persons intro, they mentioned their new found pet had been dropped over their fence... My assumption as to what happened with this little guy is that someone bought him for their children, and since the kids are now in school and not paying attention to the rabbit anymore - well its just easier to throw it outside right? Wronnggg!!

(there he goes popcorning again haha)

So, his name is Gumby, hes here to stay and I'm here to learn because this is my first ever rabbit!


*please don't mind the messy floor, I kicked over a bunch of chinchilla sand trying to get my camera lol - note to self: store the sand in the actual room of the chinchilla *

I think it is drop-off season! Bunnies do well in cooler weather, and with school starting and all... :rollseyes

Anyway... he really is a doll baby!!!

Adorable bunny!

Yup. Just enough time has gone by since Easter that the kids have gotten bored with it and are back to school, and mom/dad don't want to deal with it anymore.

isn't it sad? I co-manage a dog rescue and we see this with dogs all the time, everyone just has a disgusting throw away notion when it comes to pets - well not everyone, but a vast majority and it sickens me luckily for Gumby, he has found his forever home.

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.

Congratulations on your bunny, it doesn't take long for a bun to steal part of your heart. I am glad your boyfriend found him and spent the time and effort to catch him. Lucky bunny to find out what it is now to be loved and spoiled. He is one cute bunny.

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.
