hello. i'm kimberly, 28 yrs old, from NY.

i got my 1st bunny, pantala, on friday. here's a pic:

Hello and welcome! And congrats on Pantala - is she settling in? And how old is she? I'm assuming it is a she

Welcome! How are you enjoying bunny life so far?

Welcome! She's so pretty. Can you tell me about her name? It's very unique.

Sweet! I hope she is settling in ok.

thanks for the welcome everyone!

just had my bunny at the vet today for a checkup. its still too young to tell if its a boy or a girl, but the vet thinks girl (thats what i think too). we go back in 8wks for a follow-up.
she is settling in her new house just fine.
as for her name, its part of a dave matthews band song title. the full title is pantala naga pampa.

besides my bunny, hubby & i have 5 birds (2 parakeets, a quaker parrot, a rose breasted cockatoo & a cockatiel) and a chinchilla. i'm an animal lover, if you havent guessed! :oP
i work full time at a public library, and i'm also taking classses to become a vet tech. i always wanted to work with animals since i was a kid.

Welcome to you and your critters (hubby included..lol)

How old is your little bun? She's beautiful! (if its a she lol)

Sorry, I know it is a bunny forum, but I was actually today thinking about chinchillas and wondered how they were as pets...so, how are they??

I love her ears! I wonder if they'll lop? They kind of have that half-loppy look about them.

Welcome!
What a lovely bunny. You sound like a great mom already, with a trip to the vet right away.
Actually, you remind me of my own vet since she sees only exotics, and specializes in birds along with rabbits, chinchillas, hedgehogs, etc. etc.

Karla, we have lots of chinchilla, ferret, fish, dog and cat owners with our without bunnies so don't hesitate to post in the Lounge if you have any questions or stories to share.

Awww she's cute! I love those ears Welcome!

wow, what a neat colouring on her coat! she is very cute!!!! do you know what kind she is? very curiours

i'm not sure. we got her from a pet store, and they didnt know that info. the vet said he assumes its a girl, but also said its still too young to tell...

chinchillas arent bad at all. they're nocturnal, but can adapt to be up more in the day. feeding is easy - they eat pellets and hay. and of course they need fresh water. they cant get wet, and instead they take dust baths. its fun to watch them roll around in the dust!
