A house isn’t a home without a rabbit for the Covelli family, and happily, there’s plenty of bunny to go around with Lilly Sunshine there. Lilly, the family’s 3-year-old Flemish giant rabbit, weighs 16 pounds and spends much of her time cuddling with her partner, Romeo.
Romeo is much smaller than Lilly. It weighed only 4 pounds.
“Everyone is usually taken aback by Lilly’s size, and then when they see her with Romeo, they are even more surprised,” Sarah Covelli, the rabbits’ mom, told The Dodo. “Romeo has the nickname ‘tiny husbun.’”
Despite their differences in stature, the charming and in love pair could not be more adorable.
They don’t appear to notice the difference in size, despite the fact that Lilly is four times his size.
“Romeo is a sweet, curious little guy,” Covelli said. “He’ll jump on the couch and climb over us. He is also Lilly’s shadow — he follows her everywhere! I think he knows she’ll protect him.”
Lilly and Romeo have amassed quite a following on Instagram after falling in love, where their mother posts heartwarming updates about their everyday lives.
While many people are awestruck by this sweet relationship, it appears to be second nature to the couple.
“They sure are a special couple,” Covelli said.
