Hello there,
On January 21st my best friend and I adopted a male Holland Lop (3.5 months or so at the time) from the Humane Society. Chewie, as we call him, was neutered on the 13th of January. He weighs 3 pounds and 13 ounces as of his vet visit a week ago.
I've had bunnies before (also Holland Lops), but my friend has not. Even for me it's been a while - maybe nine years.
Chewie lives at the best friend's house, but I paid for the setup, the food, etc. HE paid the measly $15 adoption fee. So I consider the bunbun to be just as much mine.
Chewie has a good-size cage, but he's rarely in it. He's confined to the bedroom he occupies when we aren't home, but when we are he has more of a free reign. If we stay in the bedroom, though, so does he.
He binkies and flops down a LOT, especially at night. He's also impeccably litter box trained. He doesn't even drop pellets except in his litter box. He's a very friendly bunny, lets us pet him often, but has taken to nipping at our legs recently, especially after nibbling on our pant legs a little. But it's not aggressive, and he doesn't bite us when we pet him or anything. There's no accompanying growling or grunting. He'll just nose our legs, start nibbling, and then suddenly nip us. Only on our legs, as I said.
He nudges us with his nose sometimes, and sniffs us a lot. And then he'll wander off and play, or binky, or do some other crazy thing. He has lots of things to chew on, lots of fresh hay, good quality pellets, vegetables, water, papaya tablets (which he doesn't seem interested in), raisins, etc.
There are pictures of bunbun here:

So anyway, I just wanted to introduce us, Chewie, and also say hi.
