Derby - finally a new bunny

[gmas rabbit]

:biggrin:On the weekend we travelled to Vancouver and picked up our new guy. He is a 12 week old male french lop bunny. For 12 weeks old he is very, very large. I think he is going to be as big as Benjamin was. Derby has adjusted well to his new home. He was confined for a total of 2-3 hours in a limited space of 4'x 10' but learned his litter box quickly and started doing mad dashes and bunny binkies around the confined space. We turned him lose in our bedroom, which at present is his new home. He thinks the space is a race track, does bunny binkies and bunny flops all over. He will soon decide that the bed is part of his race track so may have to wear a helmet to bed. He is pretty friendly and is more than happy to be pet, play barbie dolls with the grand kids and will tolerate being picked up for a limited time. I think that with time he too will be a real snuggle bunny.

Welcome, Derby. He looks like he's fitting in well already.

I am smitten! :inlove:

It's a good thing Becky is already a cougar, because she will be after Derby in no time!

My computer froze up just as I posted these, so they are fuzzy. Will try and get some better ones this week.

How appropriate that the bed is part of his track, and his name is Derby! Was that how you decided on the little shnookums name?

Too cute Can't wait to hear more about him. Very happy for you and your family Alma

Welcome Derby! What a beautiful bunny he is. Though the pics are a bit distorted, (dang these computers lol) I love his coloring. Beautiful Butterfly.

Wishing you all the luck with your new bun.

After looking at the pictures again, particularly the one with your grandaughter in it, I am shocked at his size. I know you said big, but that is HUGE for 12 weeks! He looks at least as big as Houdini. Any idea on a weight? I'm guessing he looks alost 5 pounds already?

Rechecked his pedigree, born Jan 8, 2012 that makes him just over 12 weeks, and the difference on the scale is 5.8 pounds. He is really huge!!!!
