        hello everyone! my name is emma and i’ve been hanging around the forums for about a month, but i’m just now starting to post more. this site helped me out SOOOO so much when we first brought our bunny home. with all the tips and helpful information, he is now as fully spoiled as possible.

        so, without further ado, here he is!

        he’s a 5 month old american fuzzy lop. (i think). the people we got him from didn’t know his age, sex, or breed. they bought him on impulse and didn’t find out anything about him and then wanted to get rid of him a few weeks later. how sad! well, our dog had recently passed away and the house was awful lonely, so we started researching house rabbits and what it would take to adopt him. we decided we could handle it and he’s been with us for about a month now!

        i’ve read up about breeds and markings, and i still can’t tell what his markings are called, but i do think he’s an american fuzzy lop. if anyone thinks this is right or has other suggestions as to what breed he is, please let me know!! the vet wasn’t really sure.. i did take him to the vet as soon as i got him, though, and found out that he was indeed a boy and that he was about 4/5 months old. and healthy, of course!

        so enough, talk, here’s what you really want to see!

        bunny on the prowl

        when we first got him he was really fond of chewing the carpet, so we put down a door mat and a towel to try to distract him. he’s finally given up on chewing carpet and sticks to his toys (and my shoes….)

        notice how dirty he is!! the bedding i had in the bottom of his starter cage would get ALLLL over him.

         

        and last but not least, his name is michael jackson! because………… he’s the king of HOP!

        i know it’s cheesy, but it’s cute. i thought it was also a good name because he slides all around our tile floors and it looks like he’s dancing/moon walking.

        nice to meet everyone!! =)

                  Hi and welcome. I just love your fuzzy bunny! So cute! I’m not sure if Fuzzy breeds have different names for their colours but if he was a Rex his colour would be called Harlequin. The bunny in my avatar is a Harlequin Mini-Rex.

                      Yep harlequin is his color.  Quite pretty,.   If he  has long hair around his rear and his head and a break in the long hair starting at his shoulders he would be a lion lop

                      I thought I saw a skit on him or her.  Otherwise I would agree a fuzzy lop             dust bunny .     OH Michael you are such an adorable bunny

                      And lionhead type hair sticking up on his head.    OH at 4 months you can tell the gender cuz the testicles drop about that time.

                        I keep coming back to stare longingly at this bunny.
                        Like the 4 I have aren’t enough. LOL
                        & bunny sittin 3 more. LOL

                          thanks so much for your responses!

                          so the verdict is maybe that he’s a harlequin lion lop? this is exciting because i’ve had a very tough time trying to figure it out. i’ve researched it a lot and looked at a billion picture, but i just don’t have a trained bunny eye yet! thanks so much for your help!

                          and now that i’m looking up pictures of lion lops, i definitely think you’re right. he’s got the long fur only around his head – like a little mane. poor thing – he’s not accepted by the ARBA! maybe that’s why i couldn’t figure it out. well even if he’s a rabbit “mutt” he sure is a cutie! though i’m a little biased….. =)

                            oh and furface, i’m pretty sure there’s never such a thing as too many bunnies.
                            i’d say you could baby sit him some time, but i’m pretty sure i’d never get him back! (and i wouldn’t blame you for bunny-napping him!) hehe

                                i’ll get right on that. i’ve been making a point to try to take more pictures/video of him. those pics are from the first week he was here. he’s starting to show off a whole lot more now that he’s getting comfortable.

                                    He’s so adorable =and I agree with the harlequin lion lop opinion.
                                    I love his markings all over. Even his toes. He’s so unique!

                                        you know, with that coloring he looks like Rachel’s Frankie gone poofy. Frankies a harlequin too, but smooth coated

                                        I got so carried away with you bunny, I too forgot “Welcome!”

                                          Aww! MJ! He’s so cute. Welcome Emma! I agree, harlequin colouring. Even got the half black half white under the chin. Another reason Michael Jacksons a good name for him *cue Black or White lyrics* By the way….mutts are the BEST!

                                            he’s a sweetheart, that’s for sure! he’s only been with us for about a month now and he already is fairly well litter trained, very playful, and likes to be petted. he’s not a fan of being picked up, of course, but he loves to climb all over me if i sit on the floor with him. he likes to use me as a ramp and sit on my shoulder and try to see where he can climb next.

                                            i know i’m on the verge of the terrible teens, but so far he’s been very well-behaved and lovable! he seems to be a quick learner. and i’m SOO fortunate that he’s so sociable and isn’t skittish or anything.

                                                  okay guys, as requested i’ve got some new photos of mj. i hope you enjoy!!

                                                  here he is flopped out next to his box castle with his yucca yum yums.

                                                  major bunny disapproval!! i’m thinking of submitting it to disapproving rabbits.. haha (http://www.birdchick.com/adventures/rabbit/index2.html)

                                                  “whatcha got cookin?”

                                                  and last but not least, tonight mj was playing with remnants of his willow ball when accidentally got it stuck on his face. i managed to snap this photo before he pulled it off, but he was sitting there for a while looking like a crazed little football player with a willow helmet on! my boyfriend and i couldn’t help but laugh at him.. poor guy.. he was just SO funny! he kept looking at both of us, occasionally shaking his head like, “aren’t you guys gonna stop laughing at help me get this thing off?!” thankfully he’s smart enough to figure most things out on his own because i’m pretty sure we couldn’t stop laughing even if we tried.

                                                  laughter is the best medicine, but laughter at your poor bunny’s expense is even better medicine!

                                                    He’s so funny. In your avatar it looks like he’s wearing one of those judges wigs. Also, I retract my early statement on his colour. Looks like his colour is offically pewter. It says so right there in photo #1. Cutie Pewtie! He does actually pewter colour in his coat too.
