Totally New To the Forum and Rabbits

[bowser]

Hi Everyone,

We have adopted a rabbit into our home, we found him running on the road a couple of weeks ago, and his owners didnt want him anymore.

He's a pretty cool wee guy, and we are learning as we go, but I have loads of questions, so will ask them in the other areas of the forum.

We have named him Nuget, and he is a Lop (maybe a mini??) and apparently 3 months old. We are trying to litter train at the mo, but his fav spot is the couch so we have a bit of work to do. He loves company, and sits at my side all day, so we are looking into getting him a girlfriend once he has been fixed - so there will be lots of questions there :biggrin:

I look forward to learning from you all

Hi and welcome to RO! Our library is getting a bit outdated but does still have a lot of good general information that might help you get started.

One tip, we love pictures!

Welcome to the forum. I would keep him a bit confined until he is litter box trained and knows the house. We just blocked off part of our bedroom and then made the area bigger and bigger as Benjamin became more litter trained. He too liked the couch at first. Put some hay in his thoughtful place or a hay rack right beside his litter box. Most rabbit like to nibble and use the loo at the same time. Looking forward to photos.

hey welcome to the forum! im glad to hear that you adopted a bunny and are planning to get him fixed. i have a female mini rex named gizmo. i was new to rabbits a few years ago but dont worry-your bun will teach you fast. i just have one important thing to say. since you are new to the rabbit world this is good to know. many things are not good for rabbits-obviously, but some things are ok. gizmo loves banana...but hte rule i live by is if you doubt it dont use it. dont use anything around your rabbit if you are unsure about whether its safe...better to be safe than sorry. good luck with your new bun! happy hopping:biggrin2:

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.
