Hey, we just got a new (really cool, excellent digital) camera, so are going to do a new photo shoot with the reluctant one! She is just NOT interested in having her picture taken, frankly, but with the new, higher reolution camera, perhaps we will finally be able to get a picture that shows her multitude of whiskers!
Miss Hoppy is, indeed, the bunny that's pictured in my avatar!
She is 6 years old, she was my birthday present in the summer of 1997. We chose her because she was the most curious and friendly of all the baby bunnies at the pet store. She was, of course, just about the cutest thing you've ever seen (still is) and she was all one color, a lovely soft caramel-gold-brown. She then fit in the palm of my hand.
She came home and immediately rejected rejected the "rabbit food" pellets we had bought at the store we got her from, and has been an "all real food" bunny ever since! That was okay, as we had already done a bunch of research before we got her, and knew that it was a possibility. She loooves parsley, dandelion greens, carrots (in moderation, they're kind of fattening for bunnies) and all sorts of other greens when she feels like it.
She is probably a mixed-breed bunny, as people have different opinions on her breed. One woman told me Miss Hoppy was "a lovely Mini-Rex" and called her husband over to see her, while one of the vet techs said Miss Hoppy is probably a rex-netherland dwarf cross.
We just know she is ours!
She is litter-box trained, and has the run of most of the house (the office - full of networked computer and power cords - is blocked off by a "bunny gate."
As you can see in her pictures - the one in my avatar, and the ones below, her coloring has changed - and continues to do so over time!
Here's my bunny!

Now, folks, I've posted pictures of Miss Hoppy before ... and so has Paul ... just not in a while.
One day in June, it was time for Miss Hoppy to trim the lawn.

The pieces that edge the small garden especially needed trimming.

Then she hopped over to the driveway, which shows off her coloring nicely in contrast ...

Then it was time to go back inside. What a sweet little white tail!

And here's my pretty girl, grooming herself on the porch.

Karen, she is definately mixed netherland dwarf, you can tell. From the little avatar pic I would have guessed that. Rex usually have longer ears, Miss Hoppy has short ones.
The pictures are great, she look so happy. Thanks for sharing her story.
She reminds me a little of Milllie, although of course Millie is a different colour.

What a beautiful bunny girl!! She looks so soft and satiny. :)
-
Oh, Miss Hoppy is just TOO adorable! :)
-
Thank you - she is very very soft. She is, however, a relucat photographic subject. When we get new pictures (all you bunny owners know that just because you WANT a bunny to pose, doesn't mean she'll cooperate!) we will post them.
She has gone to bed for the night now, though.

She is really a cute one! I had a rabbit when I was in school. I called it Nibbles. Would chew on everything! It, the cat and dog would all play together nicely in the yard. Was very cute.
-
*GRIN* She's sooo cute! The markings on her face are great!
-
Awwww, such a pretty bunny! Thanks for posting these great pictures. I didn't realize she had such unique coloring (the new digi captures it well). I love her little ears!!! :D
