Little Hotot Bunny!

This is my little male hotot (ho-toe) bunny.  His current moniker is "Sugars".  He has also been called "Sugar Lumps", "Sugar Booger", and "Eyeliner bunny"...
Anything the kids and I think are cute at the moment.  Hotots are the smallest domestic rabbit breed I know about.  They should get no bigger than 2 1/2 pounds.  The big screen door that Sugars is sitting before is actually a fireplace screen.  Sugars is full grown and I can easily carry him one-handed.  He is sweet and playful.
Hotots should be white with banded eyes.  This means he looks like he is wearing black eyeliner and mascara. His big black eyes are enhanced by natural makeup.  I envy his lovely jet black eyelashes.
