            Guys, if you want to be more specific, better email each other via the Message Center. Have you used it yet? It’s a great way to share personal info. that we would rather not be posted in the forums – for your privacy. We used to post city and State under our User names and above the avatar, which I kind of miss because it does help some members know what region we’re from and also figure out countries and time zones. But it isn’t done now so I guess BB doesn’t use it for better protection.

              That’s fine. I wasn’t going to get anymore specific than that. Why do some people still have city and state on thier avatar?

                        Well thank you. Baxter didn’t stay little for long at all Hello to you too. How big do rex rabbits get? Baxter will be anywhere from 9-12 lbs. He looks giant to me right now! 4 weeks ago he was only 3.9 lbs and it shocked me! He is now 4.9 lbs! He gained a whole pound in just 4 weeks. I measured him while he was laying down stretched out and he was about 25″ long! He stands so tall. I am just glad he can’t jump that high!

                          Awee a 12lb bunny would be sooo cute!! Both of my Rexes weight about 5 1/2 lbs !! I LOVE rexes!! Tonks is the cuddliest bunny I have ever had. She will sit in my lap for over and hour and she wants constant pets and licks me half the time she is sitting on me!!! Bones is friendly but not as much as Tonks!! Did you see me message in the behaviour forum?? I take Tonks to Dr Thompson at East Side Animal clinic!! The DR that told me there was nothing wrong with her was a banfield!! ( I have their nails trimmed there)

                            evansvillegirl, could you go into a little of what you did and how you developed your relationship with Tonks? I would love to try the same approach with my bunny, that your Tonks is so comfortable with you to sit on your lap so long and just lick you~by the way, your Rexes are both lovely. I especially love the coat on the one that’s deep solid brown. The other one’s beautiful too. Thanks for sharing!

                            Nibbles, the bun in your avatar is so cute, too. Have you posted a current photo somewhere so we can see the growth of your bun? Thanks!

                              I am glad you go to East Side. I really like them there. Dr Thompson just neutered Baxter Thursday. I always want to take a kitty home when I go there though lol

                              Lash Kay: I posted some new pics of Baxter and a video of Bella in another thread. I think it was titled “pics and a video of my bunnies”

                                Dr Thompson is awesome!!!! Lashkay I totally lucked out with Tonks. I adopted her from the Humane Society when she was 9 months old. Apparantly she had a good fmaily before. From the first day I brought her home she was snuggly!! Over time she has only gotten more loving. I honestly think it’s jiust in her nature. She can be left out for hours and does not get into any trouble other than she is a high jumper and loves to jump up on the kitchen chair to the kitchen table! I have been told that rexes have really great personalities!! My other bun Bones is friendly but she was captured by animal control in the wild and beagles were chasing her so she obviosly did not have a good previous life. They told me at the humane society that she may never recover from the trauma of it all but I think she has come along way!!! I only wish Tonks was as loving toward her as she is to humans!!! I would love to bond them and tried for several weeks but Tonks is so aggresive to her! I guess I should just be thankful that She loves humans so much!! She loves on my husband as much as me!! Whew… I am long winded!!

                                  Which Humane Society? VHS? I looked there forever and they didn’t have any bunnies. I still go to thier website now and then to see if they do and they have none. After I got my two they finally got one little guy named Hermon but by then I already had two! The closest place I could find bunnies to adopt was Louisville. You did get lucky! Well both of your buns are very pretty.

                                    Thanks and Yes VHS!! I found both of them on their website. I totally lucked out because I wanted another Rex!! I had a rex that died in 06 that was such a good bunny!! He was almost 8. I adopted him when he was 2 in Owensboro someone dropped him off at the pet food center there. He was a retired show rabbit. I was sooo lucky to be in there the very same night he was brought in because adult rabbits are harder to adopt out. I got Tonks 2 years ago and Bones about 1 1/2 ago. At the time they had alot of bunnies but I guess they just go thru spells of people dropping them off!!

                                      Well, it is a good sign that they haven’t had any I haven’t been on thier site in a few weeks though so they may. I didn’t know people dropped them off at the Pet Food Center. Do they in Evansville too? That is strange to me. I saw kitties that were up for adoption today from the Humane Society at the Petsmart in Evansville and they looked terrible. They had ear mites severly and thier eyes were yucky looking. One lady had tiny kitties there and said they were all spayed and neutered but I couldn’t see how they were even old enough. They also had ear mites and the one that I picked up was very smelly. I pointed out that they all had ear mites really bad and they said that they weren’t old enough for the meds yet and they would take care of it as soon as they were adopted. I was confused as to how they were old enough to be put out and have surgery but not for ear mite meds. This was coming from people from the local Humane Societies.

                                          They almost always have bunnies at the pet food center. We were at the one today on the north side and they had about 6 bunnies. I don’t know much about the pet food center though. Today is the first time I have been in one in years. We also went into Harps today too. They have the CUTEST solid black rex bunny!!!! I don’t know why I go in those places though all it ever does is upset me. Years ago I called the humane society about the pet food center in Newbugh because they were taking bunnies from breeders at like 4-6 weeks which is WAY too young. I tried to get them to stop selling bunnies cuz they sell them for like $20 and you know most of them probably end up in bad homes. At the very very very least the adoptions at petsmart are from NO kill shelters like warrick, gibson and henderson county humane society and PAAWS. But if they dont know how to take care of them then it seems so hopeless!!!

                                            HARPS is Terrible!!!! I was mad walking out of there! I knew the Pet Food Center has bunnies. I thought you meant adoptable ones. I don’t care for the Pet Food Center either. They don’t seem to know anything about bunnies at all. I don’t go in there. The only place I go is Pet Smart to buy hay. I bought one bag of Pellets from HARPS but only because I needed it right away and Pet Smart doesn’t carry Oxbow 15/23 pellets. I am running out of those and have to buy more very soon. I just don’t want to go back to HARPS at all but I can’t wait for something to ship.

                                              I was in harps Saturday and they did not have ANY oxbow!! I dont think they carry it anymore cuz I asked 2 employees and they did not even know what I was talking about. It’s really sad we have no good pet stores around here!!

                                                Maybe in time, Tonks and Bones will warm up to each other. in the meantime, it’s wonderful to hear that Tonks is such a lovey-dovey with you and your hubby. Long-winded, not at all…thanks for sharing!
