“It’s just his camouflage.”
In early 2020, Abby, a devoted animal enthusiast, decided to expand her family with two fluffy companions. Little did she know, her new housemates, two bunnies named Stormy and Sandy, had a surprising talent for shapeshifting.

The revelation came soon after their adoption when Abby walked into her room and spotted an unusual, fuzzy object on the floor. Round and seemingly featureless, the mysterious mound left her perplexedโuntil two enormous ears popped up, revealing a very content Stormy. Abby was astonished. โTheyโre my first rabbits, so I wasnโt expecting them to turn into such perfect little rectangles,โ she told The Dodo.

From that moment on, Abby regularly found Stormy and Sandy tucked into their now-signature loaf pose, their ears neatly folded back. As cute as it was, the bunniesโ loafing wasnโt just an endearing quirk. According to PetMD, this compact position is a sign of a relaxed, worry-free rabbit. โTucking their front paws underneath them is often a comfortable resting position for rabbits,โ PetMD explains.

Though they share a love for loafing, Stormy and Sandy have distinct personalities that keep Abby on her toes. Stormy, affectionately nicknamed “spicy,” has a big attitude. โHeโs not afraid to bite if heโs unhappy, but heโs also incredibly affectionate and loves cuddles,โ Abby shared. Sandy, on the other hand, is gentle and sweet but tends to be more anxious. โSandy is very skittish but also gives the best bunny kisses,โ Abby added.

Despite their differences, the two bunnies are inseparable. โThey have free run of my basement, where they loaf all day and throw wild bunny parties at night,โ Abby joked. โTheyโre always snuggling togetherโitโs adorable.โ

Stormy recently became an internet sensation when Abby shared a video of him loafing on Reddit. The video sparked a flurry of comments as users debated what Stormy most resembled. โHeโs seal-shaped,โ one commenter noted, while another humorously added, โItโs just his camouflage. No bunny here, predators. Just a rock.โ Abby couldnโt agree more. โHe really does look like a rock,โ she laughed. โSo compact and dense!โ

The video also captured Stormyโs signature move: ears popping up mid-loaf, which charmed viewers. โYour bread has sprouted ears,โ one commenter wrote, perfectly summing up the transformation.
Stormy and Sandy have filled Abbyโs home with joy. Whether exploring the backyard on leashes, riding in a stroller, or loafing on Abbyโs bed for hours, theyโre always by her side. And, of course, they never miss a chance to assume their favorite shape.
โThey love to loaf under the covers and nap with me,โ Abby said. โItโs the sweetest thing.โ
