Meet Poppy

Poppy — our sweet lilac Holland Lop doe — is the bunny who started everything.
Her gentle presence, soft temperament, and calming energy inspired both Setareh Bunnies and the creation of the Starlit Start Bunny Curriculum.

Born with a naturally trusting and people-oriented nature, Poppy quickly became the heart of our home. From the moment she arrived, she brought sweetness, grounding, and a sense of quiet healing that changed everything for us.

She is not just a rabbit — she is the muse behind our entire program.

She is:
• incredibly gentle

Poppy has a way of settling into your arms like she chooses to trust — never frantic, never unsure. She makes everyone feel safe.

She is the emotional heartbeat of our program.

Color & Type Notes 🌙

Poppy is a Lilac Chinchilla Holland Lop, a dreamy dilute shaded variety known for its moonlit, frosted glow and soft, silver-lilac undertones. In person her coloring feels almost ethereal — cool, misty, and beautifully balanced across her body.

Her genetics bring:

• shimmering lilac‐silver shading
• soft blue-grey “moonlit” undertones
• the classic frosted chinchilla belly and eye circles
• a well-balanced head with sweet, expressive eyes
• plush, well-furred ears with a gentle lop
• a calm, grounded, people-focused temperament

When paired with Floppy (also Lilac Chinchilla), we expect a constellation of beautifully diluted babies, including:

• lilac chinchilla
• lilac
• possible dilute shaded chinchilla variations
• compact, typey bodies
• rounded, soft expressions
• sweet, calm, confident temperaments

We never breed solely for color — temperament, health, and structure come first — but Poppy’s genetics harmonize perfectly with our vision for soft, gentle, celestial-themed Holland Lops.

Health & Care

As our foundation doe, Poppy receives:
• regular wellness checks
• free-choice quality hay
• balanced pellet portioning
• fresh greens appropriate for her age
• enrichment that suits her gentle nature
• routine nail care & grooming
• daily gentle handling

Her wellbeing comes first — always.

Breeding Plans

✨ Planned pairing: Floppy x Poppy — Spring 2026
(Subject to Poppy’s maturity, health, and readiness)

This pairing is expected to bring soft-tempered, balanced, beautifully dilute babies into the world — the type of bunnies we dream of placing with families seeking calm, connected companions.

In Our Hearts Forever

Poppy isn’t just a doe in our program — she’s the foundation of our vision.
She is the softness behind Setareh Bunnies, the inspiration behind Starlit Start, and the reason we aim to raise bunnies who feel as magical and grounding as she is.

We love her endlessly… and we hope her future babies bring the same healing, gentle energy into the lives of their families. 🌙🐰💛
