I have had a few dwarf lops in my time - Keira, Cookie and now Slipper and my former OH had one called Dash. On Saturday, I'll be collecting two 8 week old mini lion lops (can't wait
)
I'm still getting used to being a "proper bunny owner" as opposed to one who has a rabbit in a cage/hutch which gets fed/watered and cleaned when necessary, but not understood what bunnies do and don't like and how to get to know them etc. But I do like the lop eared bunnies.
My first two rabbits were both Dutches and I have preferred the smaller lop eared rabbits to them. I say small, as I've found dwarf lop to be a bit misleading :lol: My friend had a mini lop once who wasn't the friendliest bunny in the world and was a devil to catch once she was out in the garden. I thought she was cute though so when I saw Keira in the pet shop some years later, I got her, expecting a cute tiny ball of fluff. Erm no :lol: I later found out that I'd been after a mini lop as dwarf lops are a dwarf version of the French lop which is really big. Slipper was recently weighed after neutered a couple of weeks ago and he's just over 3kg. I personally wouldn't want anything bigger than that, I'm not the strongest person in the world and I want to fuss my bunny, not do a heavy lift workout when I get him out for garden playtime :lol: I think any future bunnies I have the pleasure to be in servitude to, will be mini lops, or that size anyway.
By the way, cpayne, I love Doughnut and hearing about her, she sounds such a character and looks so pretty too
. By just mentioning she's a teeny tiny mini lop I think I love her even more :lol:
