  Hi everyone! My name is Gina and I have 3 bunnies that I am a mommy to. 2 of mine are rescues and my first is from a pet store. I will post pics as soon as I can. These are my bunnies:
  
  Flops (3) spayed female, she’s my first, the ultimate diva who loves getting attention and always has an attitude like she is better than everyone. LOL. she is a lop, around 8-9 pounds, light brown
  
  Obbie (3) neutred (or so they say) male that we got from a rescue 2 1/2 hours away. he is a sensitive little fellow and is flop’s bonded buddy after a very long hard bonding process. He is a dalmation Rex and our smallest, maybe about 5 or 6 pounds.
  
  Lastly, our newest Elvira (3) is a silver marten speayed female. We were "fostering" her but couldn’t let her go. We say that she has been "on the streets" for a while, she’s a rough and tough gal She has not been bonded with the other two yet.
  
  As for me, I am in my late twenties and I live in NJ. I am in social work but going back to be a special ed teacher. Drop a line sometime and say hello! (I wish i had some pics, but my laptop has been broken)

  Hello Bunny Mommy & Welcome!
  
  It sounds like you have a great bunny family over there My boyfriends first bunny was also a rough tumble lil’ bun from the streets (he was being sold in an alleyway in a cage stuffed with baby rabbits – and was rescued by a local shelter) but now he’s our very best bun! He still will NOT stand for being pikced up, but we don’t mind because he’s very obedient. I bet Flops is quite the chill bun, those big floppy eared ones always seem to be the most chill (despite their dive status!) I can’t wait to see some pictures!

  Nice to meet you! I can’t believe your story! wow! poor bunny! glad he has a good home now!
  
  yes, FLOPS is SOOOO relaxed and laid back. she sleeps ALL day and lays out in her "roadkill" position all day long. nothing can interfere with her nap time! LOL (she learned it from me haha)

  Welcome Bunny Mommy! Sounds like you have an adorable crew! My Jack was originally a foster, and I couldn’t let him go! Your Elvira sounds like my Rucy. She is a martin mix. She has gotten softer as she ages, but she still is a tough gal.
  
  I noticed you said hello to Marie from the other board. Is that ivillage by chance? I was board leader over there for years, but had to quit when this got started otherwise it would have been a conflict of interest.(hampton2002) The managers were really nice over there about it, very supportive. I still visit over there every once in awhile to say hi to Flossy and any old timers. Were you over there when I was there as a leader?
  
  Well, again welcome, it’s always great to have a few places to go! A great way to really get well-rounded answers to any problem. Speaking of which – do you have any challenges with your bunnies currently? Litter training, house proofing, future bonding questions?
  
  I also bet you could help others out too as three bunnies does have a way of forcing us to get savvy quick doesn’t it?

  Welcome to Binky Bunny Bunny Mommy! I hope you love it here enough to stick around and share more bunny-lore with us! That’s wonderful you’ve rescued your buns, even from a pet store. : ) I hope you love the change in jobs and it is an easy transition for you.

  I used to chat online all day at work on their site but it was blocked. This site insn’t so i use my valuable work time over here. LOL
  
  I haven’t been active on that board in a while because my personal laptop has been broken. And i talk to Michelle all the time still, she really is a great person.
  
  SO i kind of feel like i am "cheating" but i need my "bunny fix" HAHA

  Welcome aboard!
  
  Flops sounds like my Pepper – a total lop diva! That you finally managed to get her a bondmate gives me hope – Pepper has tried to beat up every boybun I introduced her to. Any hints you can provide about how you managed it would be gratefully appreciated.

  actually, my boy and girl bonded by accident. they would fight badly and i was a nervous wreck. the best bonding time i had was when i used a pasta strainer in between them so they could smell but they didnt bite. but, i had to be on top of them.
  
  then, me and my boyfriend were at a wedding far away and we left the buns with his mom. she decided to let them loose together and they were hopping around her house doing binkies! i almost had a heart attack when she told me because i thought they were going to fight!
  
  when i retry bonding my three i am going to try a car ride and then the bathtub WITH a pasta strainer. i am taking every precaution.
  
  GOOD LUCK!
  Gina
