So to continue on with my rabbit, chicken and cat show series I found that all the traveling, moving around and excitement really tires these animals out.
As everybody in the world knows since I never shut up about it..I have no camera ...so Mr B let me use his little point and shoot. This turned out to be a good thing. The little lens fit right through the bars of the cage and I tuned off the flash and beeps. I was able to get a few good pics.
So when you are at a show you have to come up with many different ways to get a few minutes of sleep.

| Baby New Zealand Rabbits |
These young New Zealands find taking turns napping in a group setting works for them. This is the only place in the show where you find rabbits together. They are babies in the Meat Pen class.

| French Lop |
This French Lop uses his ear to rest on..very clever I say. There are different types of Lops. A lop is a rabbit with hanging ears. There are Mini Lops, French Lops, Holland Lops, Velveteen Lops , Giant Lops and others I can't think of right now. I have trouble telling most of them apart. So we will just call them Lops :)

| Flemish Giant |
Some like this Flemish Giant just flop right out, keeping his toy close by.
He is really out for the count!!

George the Silkie rooster caught a few winks here and there.
This Belgian Hare was stretching after sleeping in this pic. Looks like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed! The Belgian Hare is an endangered Breed and this was the first time I have ever seen one. There will be way more about this breed in another post soon!!

To bright with all the lights??? Then cover your eyes with your ears. Works great for this French Lop.
Sometimes you have to sleep standing up.

Puff up and make yourself big then maybe people will let you sleep!

This little Netherland Dwarf is so tired. These guys are little rabbits with huge eyes and short ears. Adorable!

Mr Flemish giant just flops out. These are huge rabbits weighing up to 20 lbs. I use to own one named Rupert and they are very sweet and docile.

I like the creative use of rabbit ears as pillows and eye covers! :D
Oh! I do so love the rabbits! Great photos!
You know, I never realize there were so many different kinds of rabbits..It is something I never thought about. What beautiful pictures and thanks for the information..Even chickens..Heck, the only one I remember so well,as a child..A fighting rooster we had and he chased me up a tree..Course we never used him for fighting..Someone gave him and a few hens to my dad..He was a nasty little guy..The hens were good layers, but it was dangerous trying to get the eggs..haha.
Great photos! Have to admit I have a soft spot in my heart for the kitties - and the bunnies, too. Love the New Zealand snoozing on his dish.
