Very confusing. All lops look kind of same to me, except for the english, but it could also depend on the bunnies build.

I googled an agouti german lop. Does this look like your lil' guy?



I also found this website which seems to be helpful: http://www.islandgems.net/allbreeds.html
If a holland lop is to be under 3lbs, then my girls are definitely mini lops because they are 6lbs, which doe minis should weigh. I would have guessed minis are smaller than hollands.

Aww Diva is adorable!!!

From that link you posted Kristen, I think Honey most resembles a mini lop.. he has the same kind of face!

Btw, does anyone else think their bunnies look like old people? Honey looks so much like my grandpa it's hilarious! Okay, I probably sound like such a freak for saying that, but he really does!!! Like when you hold them above you and look up at their mouths/faces hahaha.

ooh we may have a winner. He even has the little white marks like him. The size and build seem the same What do you guys think. Here is some more pics I found of Luigi.

Yea I always thought holland lops were bigger than mini lops also kristen. Thanks for the pic I think he is german or mini lol.

OMG - lol they do look like old men! Ive thought that also when luigi is being diffucult . Stop being like a grumpy old man. I had a guinea pig Pat also and he had this long fur that stuck out on the sides of his face . I nicknamed him grandpa cause I thought he looked like a grandpa with one of those weird mustaches that stuck out.

i have a lionhead rabbit (mix of swiss fox and belgian dwarf). she's all black, her name is Diva, and she's about 4.5 lbs the last time i checked (last year). she's currently 2 years and 2 months old this Thursday. i got her about 2 years ago around this time of year! She's a double-mane Lionhead, which means she has a mane in the front behind her head, like a lion.. and a mane on her hind quarters. so she's SUPER POOFY FLUFFY! she looks a lot bigger than she actually is.

here are some sample pics.


even though she's all black, she does have hints of brown around her front mane fur.. it's kinda weird. i thought i would grow out with the seasons, but it's stayed for some reason. shrugs.

she's hilariously ridiculously happy.. when she binkies it's just too cute. when she flops, it's just too funny! it's so overexaggerated.. she once flopped and landed on her back with all legs in the air!! i was like omg, diva are you okay??? and she jumped up and went to drink some water and flopped back down again. CRACKS ME UP!!

the rest can be seen here: http://www.xanga.com/diva_the_bunny
and some videos of her growing up here: http://www.youtube.com/user/frozenrx3
and some recent pictures of her on picasa here:

Hi J! I was wondering if you still had your bunny but was too afraid to ask! Welcome to our thread, she's adorable! Soooooo cute and pouffy! I didn't know lionheads could have double manes!

Those pics are super adorable, ItalianFashion!

My heart melts every time I see pics of buns, especially sleeping photos. Too cute!!

Ooh, I do have a question for you bunny experts here. I haven't adopted my bunnies yet but am in the process of getting all my supplies and everything for my two cuties. I've got everything except I'm a bit confused about where to put the hay. I've got an X pen indoors and there seems to be some literature that suggests putting the hay in the litter box so the buns can eat and poop at the same time but that sounds unhygenic and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to separate the litter with the hay or place it on top or on a hay feeder just above or what. What do you ladies think? Do I need a separate container for hay or just dump in the litter?

[jellybebe]

OMG I thought I had ANOTHER bunny emergency last night! I thought Evander ate some tin foil, cuz there was a piece of tin foil on the floor with a hole in it! Anyway, we had to take him to the ER. An X-ray and a $340 bill later, turns out he didn't eat it! I guess he chewed it and spat it out somewhere? I'm so glad he's ok but super irritated I lost 3 hours of sleep not to mention that bill!

Funny thing though... while I was waiting, this little boy and his dad were waiting too and their pet had a fractured jaw, the vet was talking about how it was just waking up from sedation, how they had to feed it and how its jaw would probably always be a bit disfigured and they had to look out for pneumonia as well as possibly seeing a specialist for tooth alignment... guess what kind of animal they were referring to? It was a rat. The dad must have paid like $1000 to save a rat. And I thought I loved my animals!

Thank you he was sleeping so peacefully before I took that pic
Unhygenic --- Bunnies eat their own poop . They have to to get nutrients from them something about their digestive system. You can put hay in the litter box and also have a seperate area if you want to but not really that neccessary. I don't do that/

aww poor evander. You guys have had it rough lately. Good thing though he did not eat it! I think bunnies will eat or chew anything . I have never seen an animal that gets into as many things as our bunnies. I wonder sometimes how they survive in the wild as nosy as they are.

I put my buns hay in their litter box because they like to munch and go to the bathroom at the same time. This also encourages them to use their litter box and not go to the bathroom in other spots their not supposed to. I suggest you buy the largest litter box you can find. Extra large cat litter boxes are great. That way both bunnies can go in at the same time and they can have spots in the litter box where they can do their business. My bunnies like to do their business in the very back corner of their box so after going to the bathroom they still have plenty of hay left to munch on throughout the day. I also really fill up their litter box with hay and put new fresh hay in on top twice a day. I use Yesterdays News for their litter which has been wonderful. The room my bunnies live in does not smell like bunnies urine at all. I really recommend that stuff.

Anyway congrats on adopting two bunnies! I can’t wait to see pics of them. I just adopted two bunnies a little over a month ago. They have been a wonderful additional to my family.

How scary. I am glad to hear everything turned out okay and Evander didn't eat any foil.

Such a cute story about the family and their rat.
