        Hey everyone,
        I’m relatively new here on the forum and realised I never did a post introducing myself & my bun Sam!
        He’s a 3 month old lionlop, white and brown, my housemate says his markings are similar to a fawn’s <3
        He’s semi free roam (currently just in my bedroom when I’m out at work, with the run of our little flat when I’m home). He usually hangs out in the same room as me anyway
        He’s super bold, stubborn, and affectionate. Doesn’t get bothered by loud noises(in fact he usually hops around in the way of the vacuum) and loves laying down next to me for strokes. Apart from the more-than-occasional carpet digging so far he has been an angel of a bun!
        It’s wonderful to have recently become part of the forum and we’re lucky to have so many friendly and knowledgeable bunny owners here
        Nice to meet you all!
        Heaven

          What. a. cutie. patootie. Tolerance to vacuuming is great, because you’ll be doing it more often by owning a rabbit, haha.

          Continue to ask questions and participate in the BB community! It’s great to have you here as we all learn about rabbit care together.

              He is gorgeous! I’ve been waiting for you to upload some photos after seeing him in your profile picture!

              He’s got very similar markings to Garf – soooo cute!

                Yes I thought he looked a bit like Garfy! He’s supposed to be a lop too, though he’s usually got one ear up and one ear down if he’s relaxing, ridiculously cute.

                  They’re about the same age too :’) maybe both of his ears will drop as he gets older? If not, helicopter ears are my favourite

                    He’s a broken black tort, just like Asriel except Asriel is a Holland Lop. I do love that coloring! His helicopter ears are precious! I secretly hoped one of my boys would end up with helicopter ears, but they both had lopped when I brought them home at 7.5 weeks.

                      Ahh a broken back tort is what it’s called? That’s awesome!

                      Yes, I think I got very lucky with how gorge he is, considering how I got him – forgot to mention in his introduction post! I was willing to adopt any kind of bun, boy or girl, with no colour preference or anything like that decided! I found him on a local ad where a young mum had bought him for her 3 year old but the kid just didn’t take an interest and neglected him (it’s far too young to have a pet!). The mum knew he needed to go a home where he’d get some real love <3 since he was in his cage 24/7 on a bed of wood shavings being fed bunnyjunk pellets, no hay and slices of carrot :'(

                      I kept his name though! He’s named after Fireman Sam (a kids cartoon here in the U.K. for those who don’t know) – kind thought it suited him.

                        Good thing you rescued him! I remember being 3 and being a terror to our two poor cats. I can only imagine how I would’ve been around a bunny xD It’s good he went to you who gives him lots of love and attention! The best thing for a bunny

                        You think he looks gorgeous now? Wait till he molts and those beautiful brown spots on his back become a gorgeous dark chestnut color.

                            @Garfy I’m in Brighton by the sea shame I don’t know any bunny owners near me, not sure what I’ll do if I ever want to go away for the weekend etc!

                              Hello there and welcome to Binky Bunny Sam is a real cutie, he seems like the real helpful sort

                              As mentioned his colour is broken black tort, although I believe in the UK black tort is more commonly known as sooty fawn. It’s the same colour, just with a different name because why not?

                                Thanks Azerane!
                                I didn’t know much about bunny types & colourings when I adopted him so it’s nice to learn more about that through this community

                                    @Garfy he tolerates a 20min ride to the vet, not done a long car journey yet but he’s a pretty chilled out little guy so I imagine he would cope okay!

                                    Ditto if you ever need a bunnysitter
