Freckles was a mini lop and he was one of the most docile bunnies I had ever seen! We got Freckles in October of 1997. Freckles loved to run and play but once you picked him up, he just stayed put and didn't struggle or even try to get down. My children all loved to hold him or put him on their laps while they watched TV and he just stayed put.

My daughter Arielle had a special love for this little bunny and we all considered Freckles to be Arielle's little bunny. Arielle carried Freckles everywhere and he was so mellow and little and he just accepted it willingly. Freckles is full grown in these pictures and weighed about 4 pounds. In the pictures below (You can click on them to see a full size image), you can see Arielle sleeping with Freckles. Freckles stayed with Arielle for several hours before we finally took him out of her bed.

Isn't it cute the way men cuddle with the bunnies when they don't think anyones watching!!!

Update: We have no idea what happened to Freckles or Peanut. Peanut died unexpectedly and without any signs of illness on 9/23/02. The following morning, we went downstairs to find that Freckles was taking his last few breaths. Since Freckles was the 2nd bunny to die from the same group in less than 24 hours, I knew that he needed to go for a necrospy. I called the vet and explained everything and the vet asked me to bring Freckles's body and 3 other rabbits that were living with him. My vet consulted with another vet and it was decided that Freckles's entire body should be sent to the states lab for examination and blood samples were taken from the other bunnies and sent to a different lab. The vet says there were no signs that anything is wrong with the 3 I brought in. It will take around 10 days to get any results back and I pray that no other bunnies die in the mean time.
