Hey, this seemed to be the place for new people to say hi.  I have a behavior post to add later, but I thought I’d introduce myself first.  My name is Dawn, and I live in Missouri in the US.  I am a new rabbit owner, as I just got my black and white lionhead right before Thanksgiving.  I’ve been doing a lot of research, but I’m glad I found this forum – interactive feedback is so much better than flat text.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know all of you better.

Dawn

Hi, Dawn and welcome! Congratulations on the new bun and be prepared to become yet another bunny-slave. There are a ton of friendly, knowledgable people here and the “Bunny Info” button at the top of this page has lots of great info as well. And what is the name of your new black and white (a beautiful combination, not that I’m biased or anything) friend?

[bunnytowne]

Hi and welcome…  OH pictures pictures Please.  We would love to see your beautiful black and white lionhead. Several people here have lionheads too.  Including me.  They are so inquisitive.

[Beka27]

welcome!!!! More pics!!!!

[pryzmkess]

Thanks for the warm welcome.  I have a lot of questions, just not a lot of time to type them up.  His name is Bruno (which I didn’t give him).  I do have some more pictures online, including one where he’s in the same frame as my cat.

Hi, Dawn and welcome! Congratulations on the new bun and be prepared to become yet another bunny-slave.

If by “bunny-slave” you mean someone who has rearranged her life around a small, fluffy herbivore, I think the process has already happened.

OK… pictures.  Let’s see if this works:

He’s cute! Welcome to BinkyBunny!

I got my rabbit right before Thanksigving too

[Beka27]

he’s gorgeous!

[hooty22]

I got Felony on Thanksgiving 2 years ago! He’s also a lionhead, a sexy sexy lionhead man! (at least that’s what he thinks)

Welcome to Binky Bunny!  I love this site and I have learned so, so many things about caring for bunnies.

[bunnytowne]

ohh great pics.  Cool bunny.  oh my I didnt’ see your avatar with your bunny in it.   oh duh.  I miss so many things sometimes.

[Quantum]

Yup, that fits “bunny slave” to a tee! And what a beautiful bun (and cat, too)!

[jerseygirl]

Welcome Dawn & Bruno.   Another member named Dawn has just joined with a fluffie named Lola.  Must take care not to get you two mixed up!

[(dig)x(me)x(now)]

We have 3 Dawns on this board now! Haha. I must say that Bruno is total cuteness. My head might explode if I saw him in person!

[Addy]

Adorable! Welcome to BinkyBunny =D

[hooty22]

Haha I love that Bruno is already giving the cat the bunny butt!

[BinkyBunny]

Welcome! You’re bunny is very cute!! How’s your cat and bunny getting along so far?

[pryzmkess]

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I think he’s a cutie too! My roommate keeps wanting to shave off his long fur around his face; she can’t stand that she can’t see his face. But I’m sure he’s perfect as-is.

Thomas and Bruno get along pretty well. Bruno’s there in part because Thomas is separated from the rest of the cats because he’s a bully. So Bruno gives him another animal to socialize with. I thought Thomas might try to bully Bruno, but so far he’s been more wary of him than aggressive. I’ve seen him swat Bruno, but not very hard, just enough to get Bruno to give him some space. Neither has gotten bitten, clawed or boxed yet, so we’re doing good. I think I may have seen Thomas binky once or twice… :p

[BinkyBunny]

We are still in the process of gettting our cat and bunnies to sociliazed.  I’ve been slow about it,  but with supervised visits they have been good, but our cat is rather curious but would rather run when they come up to him.  i don’t trust his fear though as i am afraid our cat would swat at them out of fear, so they are only together while supervised. And since i know rabbits can easily get abscesses, i also keep our cat’s nails dull.

Here’s a great article from the House Rabbit Society about introducing cats and rabbits.

Welcome Dawn and Bruno! *reaches out to ruffle kitty’s fur* What a lovely cat you have too. Did you say there are more of them in the house?

Bruno eyes stand out beautifully! I see no reason to clip the fur, unless of course you think it is necessary for him. He is lovely!

I have one cat who’s a bully too. Well, she’s a feral cat who lives indoors with us during the winter months. She doesn’t like our other two housecats, so I have to keep them separated. Feral kitty only recently noticed my newest bunny who arrived in August and I didn’t like the way she was looking at him. So, always a good idea to keep an eye on any cat going near your bunny.

It’s nice to see another new member here. I can relate to the having time to post stuff, sometimes I go…oh lets see…a whole afternoon without peeking in here? lolz….

Anyway, welcome!

[LittlePuffyTail]

Welcome from a fellow bunny and cat lover! What an extremely adorable little ball of puff your bun is! Looking forward to seeing lots more bun pics in the near future!

[pryzmkess]

I took more pictures, including one that kinda shows how close my two boys are now.  Thomas will let Bruno come close to him, and even sniff him, though he’s still suspicious of this strange cat.

Yes, they share a foot fetish. 

This one isn’t very good, but I love it:

Bunny-butt because he doesn’t like people to bend down and touch his back, and I forgot that in the excitement of taking his picture.

Bruno caught red-handed, er, red-footed indulging his love of feet.

[BinkyBunny]

Awe!!! So cute!

[(dig)x(me)x(now)]

I second the previous post! Adorable!

[pryzmkess]

Thanks!  Always glad to get compliments for my babies.

[Deleted User]

cuuuuute!!!! love his little furry face!

[bunnytowne]

I just love that broken black pattern on your little fuzzy bun

[Lightchick]

Awww, he’s a cutey! Looks like Thomas the cat has met him match…Bruno will keep him in-line!

Welcome!
