New to the forum!

[ArdenBunny]

Hello. I thought I would introduce myself. I am new to rabbits, and I joined so I could read some good information on them before deciding to take the plunge. I've never owned rabbits before, but I thought a forum like this would be a great way for me to find out if rabbits are a good match for me.

I currently have two shetland sheepdogs, that I love.:coolness: Just thought I would say hello before I ran off to read some more. I have actually been reading for a few days, but decided to join today. Since I know nothing about rabbits I am in no rush to get one yet. I'm taking my time reading and learning. So many things I don't know!:mrsthumper:

Welcome Good choice reading up before you take the plunge. I think a lot less buns would end up in shelters if people learned about them first. Post pics of your dogs though. I had a shetland growing up

I have a sable (neutered male named Smudge) and a tri (spayed female named Fluff).

Been looking through some of the rabbit photos, and they are CUTE! I'm looking into later winter/early spring of next year for a rabbit if I decide on one. I think that will give me plenty of time to research. Also, I am interested in planting vegetables for my rabbit as we already have a small garden anyway. Might as well add something for them to it as well.

Welcome to the Forum! Always a wise choice to really research what you are getting into. Yea, love the pics of all the buns on here too!

Love your dogs! Beautiful!

Hope you let us know how your garden goes. Starting here pretty soon. Excited to get started. Always so relaxing tending the garden. Plus the bunnies love it too. They enjoy immensely what comes out of it.

We've already kind of started on our garden. Well, my Dad has on his, anyway! He is always good at everything, so we will see if I end up with nice stuff or brown dead plants and vegetables. So far my Dad has planted tomatoes, a few strawberries (both of these in topsy turvy type growers), a few rose bushes, bird house gourds, and assorted flowers. Nothing really rabbit friendly yet though! :bunnybutt:

Tomatoes:

Welcome. Believe it or not, rabbits can eat roses, I've read. But only if they're not treated. And if your lawn isn't treated, they can eat some of the weeds, like dandelion, but not ground ivy aka creeping charlie. adoptarabbit.org has lists of good & toxic plants.

Welcome to the forum!!! Your sable Shetland... Looks almost identical to our sable rough collie (she was a tiny girl for the breed...) she passed away in 09... Man do I miss that long nose!

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.
