New Bunny Mom in Maryland

[gedesgirl]

Hello everyone.

I'm a new Bunny Mom in Pasadena, MD. ...ok...soon to be. I pick him up in another week or so. He's a black lionhead.

Anyway, I'm here to learn all I can about being a good bunny parent.

So far I've researched, interviewed, and selected a local vet that actually regularly works with rabbits and not just cats and dogs. I'm considering myself very blessed because it happens to be my regular vet who is right up the street from my house. I've found and purchased a cage - ok...what my other half is calling the "luxury, bunny town house." But I can section it off so he only has half the cage until he is comfortable with his surroundings. I'm in the process of learning the fine art of rabbit proofing a home, which I'm discovering is far more easier than ferrit proofing a home. I used to be a ferrit mom many years ago (they are like having a 3 year old and an accomplished pick pocket crammed into a tiny furry body.) I am thinking that I play pen is going to be the answer until I feel completely sure that I've successfully rabbit proofed my office.

Now I'm researching all the wonders and what to expect when bunny puberty hits. Of course, I'm planning on getting him fixed as soon as he's of age to do so.

Any advice you have is greatly appreciated.

I'm so excited about my new baby, I can't stand it. We may be getting him a friend too. I figure that if I'm going to do it, I better do it while he's young to make the transition easier on all those involved. Of course, all parties will be getting fixed.

I'll definitely post pics of my new furry child and his luxury townhouse. We're putting the cage together this evening.

Also just spoke to a coworker that has a horse farm. He told me he'll bring me timothy hay for FREE!!! Yay!

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.

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.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.
