Our bunny, Snickers

Hello!

My girlfriend and I are proud 'parents' of our new Holland Lop, Snickers. He is a 2 month old buck who has warmed up to his new home very rapidly. Snickers was purchased from a breeder, and is the son of mom "skittles" and dad "Mr. Goodbar" (i'm not kidding!).

Snickers was very skiddish initially, but through very careful interaction and gradual steps taken to earn his trust, he now allows us to pick him up and play with him.

Here are some pictures of Snickers we took last night while he was chilling in his freshly-cleaned cage. Notice how one ear has lopped, and the other is still standing. We consider him to be "in transition"

What a cutie and his name is very appropriate! I think my favorite type of ear is half-lopped (or "helicopter"), since it is so expressive and funny. Muffin is the same way. She can put her ears up in a full V-shape (not as high as an uppy-eared bunny) when she's alarmed, put them down and tilt forward, tilt back, one at a time, etc. It's so entertaining to watch her move her ears around like that. Congrats on the new addition and welcome!
