Little Miss Muffet is back in Meadow Haven again. Her owner had to move elsewhere and couldn’t take her along.
She is having her major molt at the moment. After an hour of cage cleaning and grooming, she look kind of stunning. Reminds me so much of Luna, Eclipse and Tinga!
She is really shy at the moment. Hope she’ll get used to the old environment she’s from once upon a time ago.

Quite a nice crown from this angle

I thought it was a nice day to take photos of Seychel as she is coming out of her baby fur molt. Then came Beth walking pass after her “marketing” play pretend session. We all know that it takes many years of experience to be a qualified rabbit judge. I guess Beth’s starting really young. Here’s what happened in pictorial mode:

Good girl, Sea Shell!
In the end she concluded that although Seychel is not perfect, she loves her as much!
AwWWwwWwww....
hug tight tight!
I love you....
On a serious note, Seychel is not the perfect brood specimen but I will be using her in my chocolate project nonetheless. By the looks of it, she seemed to have the characteristics of an F1 choc Holland Lop. Whatever it is, she deserves a chance to be a brood doe.
Meet Haley, the meanest buhny on the block. Haley has been totally hormonal since the moment she arrived at Meadow Haven. I guess the journey traumatized her quite a bit or she just doesn’t like me all that much. LOL!
Don't push it!
Haley has got a few karate moves which includes deadly headbutts & lighting speed punches.
Besides the hot temper, Haley is one of the most beautiful Holland Lop I have ever seen. She has got a huge head and her fur is just fantastic. I do not love her less because of her bad temper but instead, I think she is super cute!
And this morning I was inspired to write about the disapproval face off between Haley and my little daughter with equivalent temper. This was the result.

Remember the last post I wrote about Holly Hope? Back then she was just coming out of her molt. I believe she’s a stunner now. Her color is definitely something that I would like to work with in my herd. As far as her overall conformation, I must say that a total revamp is needed.
Chocolates and Lilacs shall be my little project on the side line. I am hoping to concentrate on the torts and priority would be given to the tort. On the other hand, my good friend over at LazzyBunny will be working on the Blues.
I can’t wait for have a chocolate colored Thunder or Clark. Just imagine how intriguing it would be to have a lilac Thunder or Clark. Simply irresistable!
For the rest of the post, I’ll let Holly Hope charm you with her magnificient color.

What's up?
I must add that Holly Hope is much smaller than Haley & Carmel. I believe she’s the 90’s edition of Holland Lop. Back then most Holland Lops seemed to be the lop version of Netherland Dwarfs. They do not look massive due to their small built. These days, Holland Lop does are much bigger looking like bucks.
Personally, I wish to retain her size, add more fillings for massiveness and definitely retain her color. It would be really nice to have these minature bulldoggish Holland Lops.

If the human genetics is as simple as rabbit genetics, I believe both my parents have each contributed half their creativity gene to me. I attribute all the crazy ideas I get while raising Holland Lops from my dad’s artistic traits. As for the problem solving skills, I believe that trait came from my mom. She is a pure innovator I tell you.
My dad paints during his free time. Now he is enjoying his retirement doing what he loves most and to be very specific, Chinese Brush Painting. As our culture slowly fades away, so is the appreciation for the Chinese Brush Painting. I must admit that I draw superheroes using pencils and never the brush. It is something that I just couldn’t inherit but I do hope my daughter would be able to pick up the skill.
Though painting is just a hobby, my dad has many proud moments in his passion too. He had a few exhibitions in his younger days and his art works appeared on many major dailies. You will most probably see his works during the Lunar New Year. He fills the newspapers with colorful paintings of the year’s zodiac. During the year of the Dog, he drew pedigreed dogs such as Golden Retriever, Boxer and Poodles!

Last year, during the year of the rat, he painted a piece that has got 100 Chinese characters denoting the word rat.

And since we have the rabbit as one of the zodiacs, he painted one with a couple of bunnies too.
Lops & Kits

Year Of The Ox 2008
While he paints everything with passion, my personal favorite would be his paintings of chickens. His paintings of roosters have a lot of emphasis on the comb. I am particularly drawn to his chicken paintings. Most probably it is because I was born in the year of the Rooster. I find the chicks that he paints rather cute!
Rooster & Chicks
He now paints exclusively for people who appreciates his work. Most of the time, he paints in accordance to the needs of the requester. Recently, I was inspired to get some paintings done on the Holland Lops. I pestered him to help me paint a few and the results were marvelous! I kept on reminding him to think of bulldogs while he painted my rabbits.

Many people have approached him to paint their pets as keepsakes. If you need anything of that sort, please do email me. I’ll be more than happy to hook you up with my DAD!
UPDATE: My dad’s weblog is finally up and running. For those who enjoy good art, please visit http://simonchanart.wordpress.com.

I totally adore this beautiful girl. She’s blowing coat at the moment due to feed change. Hope she blooms and get her condition back again soon!
If you haven't notice, she's a natural poser!
Any photographer would enjoy working with this doe!
It is because she's molting!
Listening intently...to the sounds of the camera clicks
Hmmm...

I used to watch this TV Series called One Tree Hill. I like the name Haley played by Bethany Joy Galeotti. What a coincidence. I now have both Haley & Bethany under my care. LOL!
My favorite photo thus far!
Cute eh?
Massive?
Buck or Doe?
Another cute pose!

Holly Hope is just making a comeback after a heavy molt. She is very small compared to the rest of the herd. The smallest I must say. I believe she is the same size as Truffles. LOL!
This is the first time I ever that I have caught the true lilac color on Holly Hope. Having a DSLR really makes a difference. Do you notice the reddish tone on her?
She needs improvements on the crown
A little thickness
You can see that she is just recovering from a molt. Notice the litte bump on her back?
Now stop staring at my assets!

It is gonna be a little tough to write this post. Initially, I planned to get Noobie spayed and Skor castrated so that both of them could enjoy the remainder of their lives together happily ever after. Just before I send Noobie for her spay, I got a request for her. I believe Noobie’s new owner J has been eyeing on her for quite some time.
There is nothing that makes me happier than to have a good home for my rabbits. Come to think about it, I do regret a little for spaying her but I believe that is the best for her. She has done more than enough for me. 3 Litters in Meadow Haven is good enough for me and I do not want to let her go through the pangs of childbirth again.
While searching through photos for this post, I felt a little emotional and each and every one of these photos really means a lot to me. I can’t help but to feel very proud of Noobie for being such a great little bunny. Strong and calm all the time. She is the only rabbit that has never acted hostile towards me. Such a sweety.
This is the first time I set my eyes on her. I love the immaculate white on her!
The nite Noobie & BlueBerry arrived in Malaysia.
Getting used to the new environment
One of the first few photos taken on the nite she arrived
She does reminds me of Snoopy the dog sometimes....
Her favorite chilling position
Another cute pose
This is the photo that almost got me in tears
Another memorable moment
Noobie is a super mom! If she wasn't I couldn't have taken this photo
How sweet is this?
I cannot help but to feel that the vets at Hillpark Veterinary Medical Center has done a great job spaying Noobie. She is now back to her usual self eating and pooping well. Her toilet habits came back and now she’s perfect with her litter habits.
The incision healed very nicely
And this will be the last photo taken of Noobie in Meadow Haven.
I'm gonna miss you loads Noobie Baby! Now go make us proud and be good always!
Over to you J!!! Please take care of Noobie. She not only belongs to TLR but to everyone around the world that love her!

One of the first thing I noticed about Carmel is her buttocks! I am not a bunny pervert but her bum have quite a nice pattern to it. Her condition is superb and the white patterns on her body is immaculately white. She really looks like a bunny angel to me.
I just realized how much I miss posting photos of my bunnies. And I am sure everyone misses photos too. I am slowly coming out the of woods of being traumatized by the psychotic and hopefully my fellow bunny friends can help shield me from trouble.
Here’s Carmel:
