Dutch Rabbits
|
Introduced into England from Holland in 1864, the Dutch Rabbit is one of the oldest of the domesticated rabbit breeds and are referred to as Hollander Rabbits in Holland. They are bred as pets, for showing, and as lab animals.
Description:
The adult size is about 4 1/2 pounds. Medium sized and large
sized rabbits can get much larger than that! Dutch rabbits can be identified
by their distinctive markings, which include the white blaze on their
faces and the white band around their upper bodies.
Color differences:
Black is the most popular color of the Dutch Rabbits but
other nice colors include blue, chocolate, tortoise, steel gray, and gray.
Comments from people who have kept this pet:
I love my rabbit Oreo! I got her about 3 or 4 weeks ago. In that short amount of time I have realized alot. Some of them are that rabbits don't bite. I have found out that Dutch rabbits are the best kind, so if you are choosing which rabbit to choose then "CHOOSE A DUTCH RABBIT!"
I love rabbits! I recommend Dutch rabbits as a pet. The reason I chose a Dutch rabbit is because one of my friends had one named Badger. So I got one and named it Oreo! In a short amount of time I have realized is that rabbits are cute, nice and DO NOT BITE. My rabbit Oreo will follow me around until I give her food, then after having a full tummy she would sleep on me for a while. Oreo finds spots in the house then will play there all day. She is so cute! So if you get a rabbit your better off getting a Dutch rabbit.
I got a Dutch Rabbit about 3 or 4 weeks ago. This might have been a short time of having my rabbit but they are so cool. My rabbit will follow us around and will stay near the refridgerater, because she knows when we go to the refridgerater we will give her food. Rabbits will purr, just like a cat. One thing I use to think rabbits would do when I got my rabbit was that it would bite, but believe me RABBITS DO NOT BITE.
Having a dutch rabbit is great! They love to be in high places and like to lick people's fingers. They are just GREAT!
I have a Dutch bunny and he is so calm and so gentle. I thought that bunnies were not the greatest pet but my nine year old daughter and my 3 year old soon wanted 1 really badly. They make great pets and I highly recommend this for anybody who wants a small loving pet, and also I recommend this to begginers with rabbits. They could not be better!
We have a neat pound bunny named Buttercup. She is sweet and likes to give kisses. She is brown and white. Buttercup can be seen online at webcam.mmaki.com, or you can watch older movies of her. I love Buttercup!
Some of the coolest comments:
My sister and I got two Dutch rabbits when I was 16 and she was 11. They are now about 5 years old and are the nicest pet bunnies I have ever seen! We have a male named Rebel and a female named Misty (brother and sister) and they get along wonderfully. We got them neutered and spayed, of course. I used to work at a daycare and I would frequently take the rabbits there and let the little kids pet and hold them--they behaved so well! They are both house trained and are basically like cats. They will fully stretch out on their backs and let us pet their tummies (sometimes they fall asleep!) I would highly reccomend a dutch rabbit to anyone with children.
I have 1 black dutch and 1 blue dutch. I fell in love with the breed instantly. They have excellent litter training habbits and one of the sweetest smartest breeds i own. My black dutch is almost a year old and such a bundle of joy. He was litter trained in about 2 days of our getting him. We got him from a shelter i volunteer for. My blue dutch is 9weeks old and such fun. She was litter trained the day we got her so shes a very smart girl. She will be going to her first show in July. I would recommend A dutch to anyone getting their first rabbit. They are very easy to train and very beautiful. Dutches are only a small size so you will only need a small sized dog crate or pen to put them in. Grooming is needed maybe every 2 weeks depending on if they are molting or not.
