Stu Hopps is the father of Judy Hopps and the husband of Bonnie Hopps.  With his wife and children, he runs a carrot farm in the vicinity of Bunnyburrow.  He and his wife have multiple children of various ages (pictured above)), many of which help out on the farm and at their stand where they sell their crops.

Some time after Judy left for Zootopia to become a police officer, Gideon Grey established a working partnership with Bonnie and Stu to sell his pastries and other baked goods at their farm stand, which was a boon for each of them.

Stu loves his daughter, and is proud of her strength and her desire to become a police officer, but is deeply bothered by her desire to leave the farm and the family business, and worries constantly about whether or not she'll succeed in the larger and more dangerous world out there (especially in the big city).  He tried repeatedly, as the date of Judy's departure for Zootopia approached, to play a not-so-subtle game of trying to convince her of the value and importance of staying in Bunnyburrow and participating in the family business.  It didn't work.

However, what Stu and his wife don't realize is that they are unwitting stooges in a scheme hatched by Assistant Mayor Bellwether to cause the predatory mammals of Zootopia to revert into their primitive, aggressive and violent forms, through the use of the "night howler" flowers they grow on their farm.  The Hopps family doesn't realize that the night howler flowers contain a powerful psychotropic chemical that, when refined into an injectible drug, causes the violent transformation.

Full Name: Stuart Hopps

Species: Rabbit

Design Inspiration/Influences: None

Appearance: Slightly overweight, with ears that are a bit shorter than some other rabbits (including some of his own children); brown fur and brown eyes.  He prefers simple clothes for working on the farm...plaid shirts (of flannel or cotton), a white undershirt, and jean overalls.  Always has his baseball cap on...dark green in the front (including a dark green bill) and a sewn patch on the crown picturing a carrot, and light green in the back.

Personality: Cautious and protective (and occasionally a bit on the nervous side), but a bit scatterbrained and prejudiced.  Fully expects all of his children to take up the family tradition of working the carrot farm, and at the stand where they sell their crops.
