Meet Bugs


Here's our new bunny. He has one ear up and one down, just like his "brother", Ein. The guy I bought him from said his daddy had some wild bunny in him, which is where the brindle color comes from. Since he has one ear down, I wonder if he has some lop in him? I have no clue what kind of bunny he is; we just know he's a cute "mutt".

After seeing a shepherd come in with a gunshot wound: "You know we pretty much just paid for Ein all over again." (Pats him on the head.) "I'd do it again if he needed us to."

Lesson: Remember to take time to think about what's truly important. Oh, and give your pets a hug.

I'm pretty sure you could train the other ear to go down like that, too, if you wanted, by working with the cartilidge at the base of the ear. But he's so cute with the lopsided look! ^_^

We call those helicopter ears around here.
Some bunnies have them as they mature, but others do keep them like that throughout their lives.

Not to bust the bubble on the "wild bunny" thing, but N. American white tailed rabbits (The 'wild' rabbit we have here) cannot produce offspring with our domesticated rabbits, now if we were in the UK that would be different since our domestic bunnies come from their 'wild' bunnies.

Your bun's obviously a lop cross and an adorble one too! I love his coat he has great markings!

I agree, he's definately not part wild .

I love his color. He does look like a wild cross. I had a friend that told me her rabbit cross bred with a cottontail and I believed her. I have since learned that the domestic rabbit has 22 pairs of chromosomes and the cottontail has 21 pairs. A domestic rabbit can mate with a cottontail, but the embryos die after a few cell divisions because of the difference in the number of chromosomes.
