| My new family member! Ok, so I got a bunny... well I rescued a bunny! A co-workers sister is moving to Florida and she can't take her bunny because the weather will be too much for her. She is an outdoor bunny and hates being indoors actually. I have owned rabbits most of my life and had no problems taking her. My friend warned me she was big. I figured I had 8-9lb rabbits, thats pretty big... so I didn't think much of it! Well when she was dropped off on saturday with her hutch I nearly fell to the ground. Please welcome to my family, Lyra, our 18lb 1/2 Flemish Giant 1/2 Giant Angora baby girl! My 12lb Fletcher is IN LOVE!!!

| That is a big bunny! Congratulations on the new addition to your family. You bring back fond memories of my younger brother's black bunny named Satchmo. |

| LOL Can you believe it? I still just stare at her and can't get over how BIG she is! She only likes me right now. I don't know if it's because she was handled mostly by 2 females in the past, but she growls at the 2 boys and my boyfriend so they are almost a little afraid of her. They love her though so I hope she bonds to them too. Whenever I come outside to her cage she comes out and climbs the sides and when I open the door she nudges my hand for petting, she never growls at me and lets me pick her up with no problem. She really is a sweet bunny, just reallllllllllyyyy heavy! LOL Fletcher, my bigger boy, is obsessed with her. He zooms out the door directly to her cage and puts his paws up on it to look in, when shes out he follows her around almost like he's her bodyguard and shes bigger than he is!! I'll have to get pictures. When she lays down, he lays down beside her or behind her. He's so funny and cute! Dexter got swiped at for being too close to her on the first day we had her so he stays FARRRR away from her. She more scared him than anything because he didn't hear the growl warning and he didn't move so he didn't see her go to swipe him.

| I'd love to put her in my backyard and see if TJ would chase her - hahahahaha - we have bunny's in our backyard everyday, and he has a field day "trying" to chase one - LOL - he'd run and hide if he saw her |

| Dex runs after her barking lately but he won't get too close! Fletcher is her bodyguard, he never leaves her side. LOL He is actually really good to her, but then again she is 1 1/2 times his size! LOL

| Oh my goodness, that is the most adorable bunny - I would love to have a bunny that big and lovable! We have two little bunny girls, and Levi is OBSESSED with them. He cries and cries when they are in their crate and he can't watch them hop around. I'll attach a picture of my bunny girls Olive and Scarlett - nowhere near as big, squishy, and cuddly as your new one! Congratulations!!

| awwwww CUTE bunnies!!!! I love bunnies... Ive had so many in my lifetime! Each one has had different personalities. Some are so laid back and some are so wound up! Our Lyra greets me every morning like shes a dog. If she could wag her tail she would. I feel so bad she is stuck in a hutch all day while I'm at work. I take her out to graze every night for an hour or so though.

| My girl is BIG but very friendly and gentle... although she is not that good yet with the boys or my boyfriend. He tried to spend some quality time with her last night but she wanted nothing to do with it! haha
