The Tale of Two Tails

I found this image on Facebook posted by a fellow bunny lover. It reminded me of my two loves - Nibbles and Dudley, and how much they have grown since I brought them home.

Well first things first, Nibbles is a Dwarf Hotot (pronounced as HOH-toe); and Dudley is a Dwarf Holland Lop. Personality-wise, they are poles apart, Nibbles is your daily dose of Dennis the Menace with a tinge of Scooby-Doo when it comes to abrupt noises from the surrounding or even biting or jumping sounds from Dudley. Dwarf Hotots are known for their mischievity and it is said that to gauge such cheekiness, check the thickness of their eyebands. Hmm... and Nibbles to date definitely has the thickest pair of eyebands I've ever seen. Perhaps this is the only house in the whole Garden that would echo his name. For a small-sized fellow, he surely knows how to get around things and places in the house, from running under your feet to ninja-ing up the stairs, there is probably nothing he hasn't done in this house. With a personality of a dog-cat, he never fails to amuse me. His signature movement would probably be his love for his water bottle, of which he can make the loudest noise as a protest to us (mom and I) leaving the house or as a signal that it is 'playtime' (no he doesn't do things ordinarily but extraordinari-lee).


Dudley, the Holland Lop, on the other hand, is a complete gentleman. True to the description of Lops, he is a gentle character but please, oh please, be deceived not by this creature, he is far more mischievous than his best friend! He would probably be the mind behind Nibbles' doing! Unlike Nibbles, Dudley is more of the thinker than a doer, but he too has done almost every trick in the Book of Naughties~

Having lived all my life with dogs, I never in my wildest dreams, ever saw myself living days with two darling rascals. First day, I was super cautious cause bunnies are WAY SMALLER than dogs and caring for them is completely different. You could say it was a whole new chapter and experience and all.

Best of thanks to Jay from JJay Pet Station for all the care and advice, you gave me along my journey with this two~
