New to rabbits and have acquired several rescues

[dmdhart]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and somewhat new to rabbits. I've always had a couple here for my kids, and have always had lots of other animals (I do animal rescue). Lately however, I've acquired several bunnies from people that are in need of help. I realized that while I'm fairly familiar with first aide for dogs, cats and horses, and have a limited knowledge in so far as goats, I've come to realize that I know very little about rabbits. I've come to love all of them, but don't know how to help them.

My hope is that I can get some good advice from this forum. I'm thinking that I should probably post the problems in the medical section.

I'm glad I found you,

Donna, mom of two girls and too many critters to list!

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.

Thats great you took in those bunny's. I look forward to seeing pictures.

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.

Hello and welcome to RO.

Thank you so much!! I've been getting lots of really good advice for my new family. Have started one on an antibiotic and he's doing better. I was pouring over the section about toys for rabbits last night. I never would have dreamed that rabbits like to play! I've decided to make all of my hutches multi level.

One of my new guys is terrified of me. Any ideas how to tame him? If I force myself on him, won't that scare him more? I need to get a better look at his ears, they look a little scabby, but he won't let me near him.
