WAiting for the baby to arrive

[Susl]

Hi All,
I am sooo excited to pick up my first bunny ever. Another 2 weeks to go though and I am busy to be organised for the big (well, small) arrival.
Found and fell in love with a Netherland Dwarf (Blue Otter).
Still learning and reading up on absolutely everything.

And if someone could tell me, what woods are save to use as chewing toys - the information I have read is a bit confusing.

Thanks and have a hopping great day

Susl

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.

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.

Congratulations! I have 2 nethie dwarfs. They're such adorable little fluffs! I can't wait to see pics. I give my boys pine, like popsicle sticks and chew toys from the pet store that are made from pine. I think there's a post on here somewhere about safe foods, etc. Welcome!

Hi Susl,

Welcome to RO. You bunny sounds darling. I can hardly wait to see pictures. Is it a male or female? Do you have a name picked out yet?

My bunnies LOVE branches from apple trees. So if you know anyone who has apple trees or apple orchards(even better) :biggrin:ask them for branches. I also buy mine toys from the pet stores. Sometimes they play with them other times they don't. Honestly it's a hit and miss, you never know what they will like to play with.

What kind of housing do you have for your new arrival? Is the bunny going to be an indoor or outdoor bunny?

Susan

From what I've gathered, most fruit-bearing tree wood is safe. Things like cedar shouldn't be used.

Wood from stone fruit trees (fruits with pits, like peach or cherry) is not safe. Apple and pear wood is safe though.

Welcome to the forum, Susl!
