Cotton and his brothers, Cadbury & Jell Bean were born on Easter morning 1998. True Easter Bunnies. There were only the three of them and the were all boys. That was a first for us. Cotton is definitely the most dominant of the group, as is evident of his mangled ear, and by far the largest. He gets his name from his swirl color pattern and his date of birth. He is a very sweet rabbit unless there is a doe around.
