MN bunnies say hi to you all

[SharminsMagic8]

Hi everyone! We are new bunny owners (as in first time) when we adopted Josie who is a mostly grey/some brown Lop about 3 years old is the guess. She's been a very sweet bun. We brought her into our home about 4 months ago. In a moment of helplessness this week, we took in an 8 week old bunny whose mommy was killed by a dog. We named him Diesel. He is a tri-colored Lionhead with black on one side of his face and orange on the other. He also is a sweetheart but I feel like I've taken on a little too much. We just recently found out he was a boy, and Josie gets CRAZY (running/biting/lunging) if she even smells him so the poor little guy is spending some time in my daughter's room where he doesn't get nearly enough attention in my opinion. As I've learned, we will have to keep them separated until about 8 weeks post neutering, so it'll be quite some time before he can join us in "the bunny room".

ANYWAY, looking forward to finding answers about litter training the little one, bonding (eventually), and reading about all of your buns!

Welcome! We love pics here too

Is Josie spayed? I'm assuming she is since you adopted her but if not you might want to look into that as well. It is much easier to bond fixed bunnies.

Picture is finally up...of Josie anyway.
She is spayed, thanks to the great people at Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society.

Welcome 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.

Hopefuly, your bunny will never get sick, if you ever have 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 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.

*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

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link to that 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.
