He is keeping his eyes on you! So cute.
He was well mannered til 10pm when it was pellets time, I'm pretty sure he'd have eaten them out my hand, I couldn't drop them quickly enough [emoji38] he even let me stroke him whilst he scoffed [emoji38] then I left him to it

Perfect name Willoughby has a strong Nottingham connection too! Did you know that in advance?! https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/manusc...ographyofsirfranciswilloughby(1546-1596).aspx
Oh and the wee stain is from when he was anywhere near his brother all those weeks ago! It'll moult out Constantly being sprayed with wee every day or so for a few weeks will do that to you :lol:
Otherwise he bounces off I felt he thought he had better things to do than sit for strokes :lol: And yeah, he'll eat them out your hand but I dunno if he'll stop AT your hand :lol: Lopsy will, he's very good at detecting fingers
I'm so, so pleased for you all He's such a sweet little thing, he's super into food, what you're doing, and what other rabbits are doing He's poper inquisitive and I really hope bonding etc. goes well and he and Apricot have the bounciest long lives together

Chibbs is the first bun we've had who won't mug you for pellets :lol: I think it's because I'm stingy :lol:Oh does he
Matt always stroked him when he was eating, I did if I was around

He's a tiny bun with huge personality (as if a nethie cross would be any other way!)

I didn't know that! But that's even more perfect! [emoji7] I said to Michael I liked the name just sucks that the character Willoughby in sense and sensibility was an ****.. But then I googled it and it said it meant willow farm so I was just like ahhh it's perfect! He's gunna make the name a good one again [emoji38]
Yikes, yea that'll do it! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] Bless him, I'm sure he'll be clean again soon [emoji38]
Yea I was just feeding him little bits of willow and grass through the bars throughout the day and by the evening he was rushing up and down excited everytime I appeared [emoji38] and went mad for the pellets, he definitely knew it was pellet time [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] I tried him with some fresh basil yesterday and he wouldn't even try it! So that was interesting, also I gave him one science selective grain free pellet because that's what we have here, and I was holding it and he was really sniffing it, then he'd move his head away then come back, then finally he nibbled the end of it, whilst I was still holding it... [emoji38] So I don't think he's a fan, might have to get another bag of the excel for him [emoji38] I'll try him with one SS one everyday and see if it changes but it wasn't an immediate love [emoji38]
I really hope so too [emoji7]

Hello Willoughby, you handsome boy.

I think his original pellets from the muesli mix were closer in taste to Excel, certainly the texture and smell (to me) was similar, but I expect he'll switch plenty quick enough ;P He might come round to basil if he sees the others eat it: when he started eating mint, so did my two!
Also, yeah, that whole excited thing is normal for here as well XD Lopsy's JUST like that, or was in his younger years XD You can see why he might have had a few, uhm, accidents! At least Willoughby never fell off anything! Speaking of which, we forgot to give you his tube of sticks (like this https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/wooden-playsticks-large) which he used to use to eat bramble from high up
It's his only original thing from his first house I would even keep with him :lol: it's a bit awkward to get out of the dog crate though which is how it got forgotten!
