   The American Fuzzy Lops is a snuggly little bunny that reminds us of a teddy bear!

   The American Fuzzy Lops generally have wonderful personalities and like many of the lop rabbits, they love to be cuddled! They have wonderful personalities and are also great for showing. They are furry and cute and can be very loving and affectionate.

   This bunny is considered a good first rabbit for new owners. Both males and females are very sweet and make excellent pets though females can sometimes be a bit more shy and skittish. Females can especially be nervous with loud noises and fast movements.

   The American Fuzzy Lop Rabbit is sometimes referred to as:

1. "The Fuzzy Lop"
2. "Fuzzy"
3. "AFL" (American Fuzzy Lop)

   True to their name they do have long fuzzy coats. They will need some regular grooming, generally once a week for an adult. Babies will need grooming more often until they get their adult coats at about six months.

o.k. I have had an american fuzzy lop myself. Her name is amy and she is so adorable! Everyday when I come home from school I take her out of her cage and then she either rolls around on her back or she will paw at me and lick me all over my face. It dependes if she is super super happy or if she is just plain happy. alyssa Alyssa 2008-08-29
I have had an american fuzzy lop in the past and just got two 6 week old american fuzzy does. Im 15 and love to show rabbits. I mostly show american fuzzy lops and jersey woolys. I also have an angora. Take my advice and start with an american fuzzy lop and not an angora- hard to take care of, but dont get me wrong I love my angora. -Rachael rachael 2008-08-12

I just got a young caramel colored fuzzy lop named BradPitt. He loved to hop around and wiggled his cute little nose. One day I woke up in the morning and saw he had passed away. I don't know what happened. He looked fine and energetic the day before. I am brokenhearted. But he gave me a cheerful week while I had him. ria 2008-02-24

I have a Pointed White with Grey Fuzzy Lop whos around 7-8 months of age. I love the breed, they are very easy going rabbits and love attention. I got mine when she was only 4weeks old and we have accomplished alot of stuff. I have her litter trained now and she is a pro at it. She had babies in Janurary and was an excellent mother up to weaning time. She loves Binking around her pen all day and giving kisses. Shes a wonderful rabbit and my favorite out of the 6 i have. Fuzzy Lops require some grooming because they are half angora. Shes pretty good with grooming but gets very fussy when Turned over. She also loves eating greens and carrots and of course Timothy hay based pellets and Timothy hay. BRITTANY 2005-03-29
