Ginormous Rabbit - Lugs

[Andi Boy of Destiny!]

Lugs was very sweet, and I don't think his poorly ears will put people off adopting him. They look a bit daft, but they really do tug at the heart strings and make you realise what a horrible life he's had.

He looks a bit like he's got a comb-over.

Thats an odd looking rabbit :shock:

Hmm. Do you think it might confuse people into thinking that was Lugs? I wouldn't want to put people off him. :?

I think you go straight back to Bobtails and get us a picture of Lugs to make up :lol:

A bonded pair of frenchies sound nice, I think both breeds are about the same size just different ears/shape.

Wilco! We'll likely be back next weekend, as I said, so we'll take the camera and get some pictures.

Yup; I think the Frenchies should be just a tadge larger, and they're (as you say) a different shape - chunkier. A lot of the giant rabbits have rather pointy heads too, whereas the frenchies have a good round grumpy looking face.

Odd this post popping up today as I just found Lugs on Rabbit Rehome this morning, so you can have a look at the poor chaps ears.

Quite a saucy shot. You can see that the ear that does lop properly looks quite chewed on.

Incidentally, it now seems the two Frenchies are staying with their owner.

hi Bertie...

i've noticed you don't get many french lops on RR; maybe it's because they're posted as large lops.... but anyway, i know of these two french lops that need homes.

now, he isn't as frightened as he looks here! he's really soft. he'd let you stroke him for hours given the choice! (He's Jack's cousin and when i met him and Jack i was really torn between the two of them...)

and here's the other i know about. from the same place. i don't know her at all as i'd made my mind up as soon as i set eyes on Jack. but she looks a beaut from her pic...

the problem then? well, they're in Penistone; 'up north'

Lugs looks lovely, but im confused theve put him down as an english lop but he looks like a british giant to me. If he were an english lop the ears would both be down and they would be much longer and wider. Still great looking bunny glad hes been rescued, whots happened to the rest of them?. val

Lugs is meant to have both ears lopped but the muscles around one have been damaged so it hangs wrong. The owner was carrying him around by them, which considering his size its not surprising they were damaged.

I think they had frenchies as well so it could be a english lop cross. He's 6kg so definately something big in there

What a wonderful set up and what lucky animals. Just wish all the rabbits and piggies of this world could have such a grand setup.
