So are my husband and I the only people here you think Dewlaps are kind of.....a turn off?
My husband is literally grossed out by them. I dont find them so cute either.
 
No kaley you are not alone!

At first I thought I was the only rabbit person who thought them a bit. ...creepy...then holyhandgrenade (Missy) inspired me to admit my dislike:) :) :)

I'm not a fan. I can't even say why. It's kind of the same feeling I have about REW buns. No words, just........shudders.......

Still no hate though....just not a trait I like :)
 
I like them as long as it is now WAY oversized (like 1/2 the size of the bunny). Most girl rabbits have them so it is something you get used to if you are around rabbits a lot. They do not affect me at all.
 
Candy Cane has one but it's small... I don't mind them. Most girl buns when they get older get them. I don't find any bunny a "turnoff". I think they're all cute.
 
Fraggles feelings are hurt. We think she is beautiful dewlap and all.....

But if you don't love her well then......:sad:
 
Muppet has such a grump face! Haha. I'm undecided about dewlaps. Foo's didn't start to really come in until she was a little over a year. So now its her built in pillow, but you can only really see it when she's laying down. I guess for me it depends on the breed.
 
I don't mind small dewlaps, but not a fan of large ones. Our Californians had pretty big ones (IMO). When the weather got cold one of our doe's dewlaps got a little gray. Did you know that the purpose of a dewlap is to provide extra fur for the doe to pull when making a nest? I didn't realize that.

Muppet, I think you're cute. I like REWs...I've had a few myself. ;)
 
Me and the wife dislike them, but the more I deal with rabbits the more its growing on me. As long as its on a doe, I may like it cause its a clear difference between genders but I know I'd dislike it on a buck.
 
to be fair, last I checked Reuben doesn't really like anyone... except perhaps if they have food, and then only until it's gone.

Muppet will leave to.....Her little blind face does not want to offend anyone.

if muppet is going away, tell her to come to my house! every time I look at her little grump face, I just want to huggle her and smother her with kisses.
 
Lol Reuben is just silly. Even though Fraggles isn't *the nicest* bunbun, she reminds me so much of my Candy Cane. And don't even get me started on Muppet... She's just too sweet for words:inlove:
