Bestest Comments: Dutch Rabbits

Hi! I just love my dutch rabbits Mary, Margeret, and Ruthy. They are so cute and I am learning lots! I've had them for 2 or so years. I am learning new things I never knew about them before. Thank-you for having so much info. It will be so helpful.:}

I am so happy! Today I got my first Dutch rabbit, Clover. She is seven weeks old. Although she is a mix I can already see the dutch in her personality. She is very curious about everything. What does that taste like? What happens if I do this? She is also very outgoing and loves in play peek a boo by hiding her face, then poking out to see what I will do. I am happy to join all the dutch owners in all the stories and funny comments!

I am really excited after reading all of these comments because tomorrow, I am getting my first dutch rabbit! I can't wait to join in all the bunny stories! Thanks for all your comments because this will make me a better pet owner!

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 been looking at many different web sites and yours is the best, i love DUTCH BUNNIES!!!

It's about time I found a site with a good rabbit breed and some useful information, I once met a dutch rabbit and instantly fell in love with it. I am now looking for a dutch to have for myself.

Finally, we found a site with some valuable information. Our Dutch Rabbit is only 6 weeks old and he is THE most lovable small pet I've ever had. He's grey and white and about 1.5 pounds right now !!!

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.

I have a blue and white dutch bunny. He is the first pet I have had as an adult and my first bunny. He has a great disposition, is very playful, and loves to be petted. He is easy to care for and was easy to litterbox train. He pretty much trained himself. They are very smart animals. He loves to play. He runs all over the room and binkys high! He has a ball that he likes to roll around and he likes to hide in his little huts made out of cardboard boxes. He loves treats such as raisins, apples, carrots, broccoli, oranges, cilantro, mint, and parsley. He seems particularly fond of the mint and will pull it right out of your hand and gulp it down! : ) He does require alot of attention as they do get lonely but he is so worth it! He also gives bunny kisses which is a high honor. They will only groom some one they truly trust and love. He also knows that i always kiss his nose and has started to put his nose out for kisses! So cute. Bunnies are a great pet if you have the time for them but they also require alot of research. They are a fragile animal and need the proper care. But if you are considering one for a pet, a dutch is great to start out with. But be prepared. They can live up to around 10-15 years if properly cared for.

We got "Cocoa Fluff" a number of years ago now......he has to be at least 4 years old. My son wanted a bunny for Easter SO BADLY!! I thought, "what am I getting myself into now....." Of course, who is so attached to the little guy now that my son is a teenager and has to be reminded constantly to give the poor baby food and water..........ME.........THE MOM!!! I have been through two expensive episodes with him staying at the vet and having surgery and I fuss over him like the baby of the family. His favorite treat? Bananas, like I noticed someone else wrote.......he goes crazy for them.......likes to eat them right out of the peel while you hold it for him....like a monkey! I only wish he was less nervous with people, but, when relaxed, he will lie down and watch TV with us......

It is so easy to see that those people who posted their tributes to their pets are truly the caregivers of the animal world. The animals are part of the family and they realize what a treasure it is to have them, even if it is only for a while. We know that the time with them will be short...but precious. We know that in the end we will be hurt by the loss of these dear critters. But we chose to love them again and again. Their claim to immortality is that they will live on forever in our hearts and souls.

my dutch rabbit, frankie, was not a pet, but a member of the family. we only had him for less than three years, so his time with us was cut short, but he was amazing. he loved attention and his bunny massages, loved bananas and grapes, and after eating a grape he would wipe his mouth to clean the grape juice. he always had an adorable look about him, and made us laugh all the time. he always found something hilarious to do, like get his head stuck in a tissue box. he showed his love by giving kisses. he dyed the fur between his ears blue by rubbing it on a blue salt lick he had just licked. he was punk bunny for a while, till it shed out. he will always be in our hearts as the most special bunny in the world. he was loved dearly.

My name is Darla and i bought a Dutch bunny around 3 years ago. He was about 2 months old when i bought him, and he is 3 years old now. He can be michevious, but what a sweet little guy. His name is Mr.Bunny, and he loves to play hide and seek. One cute thing he likes to do is to get a running start, then he will jump straight up in the air. I recommend a dutch rabbit for anyone looking to buy a rabbit. He is so calm and mild when i hold him, and he loves to be rubbed, especially on his little head.

We have a one and a half year old blue & white dutch--Max von Smoot. We call him "The Smoot". We have had several other rabbits in the past, but he is the smartest and friendliest. He likes to "flop" over and play dead bunny and he looks forward to his nightly petting where he does this funny noise like grinding his teeth, and when you rub under his chin, he licks your fingers very tenderly. He has two rooms to roam freely that are bunny proofed with lots of toys and when we are home at night and on weekends he tears around the rest of the house. He is a true joy to my family and we will always own a dutch!(Maybe a couple someday)Max is very good about using his box which is in a cage that we kept him in the first year we had him. It broke our hearts to put him up every night, so we worked with him until he uses his box all the time. He is very patient with my son and has only bitten or scratched rarely, and that was when we were picking him up to put him back in his cage. He enjoys organic spring mix every morning and he loves dried pineapple and papaya which help keep fur broken down in his system. He also loves his yogurt treats/vitamins. I recommend this type of rabbit if you are getting a bunny to love and enjoy.

hi i got my rabbit when he was 8 weeks old. now he is about 9 months old. my pet rabbit is a dutch and his name is Ben. i keep him in my room in a large oversized cage so he has room to exercise and have fun. most of the time i let him free in my room. even though most people think they feed the rabbit, clean the cage, and put the rabbit into the cage, there is way more than that. they are like a human they need TLC and you need to hold them atleast once a day. you always have to take them out of their cage to exercise. you should always be nice to the rabbit if you want the rabbit to be nice to you. i also have a pet cat who is 17 years old(in our years) they both get along great. if you dont think you can handle a dog i would not recomend getting a rabbit, they are more work than yu think! maybe you should start out with an easer pet to take care of. but i would recommend rabbits to all ages especially a Dutch. they are such sweethearts, they are always there when you need them. my life would not be the same with out my cat or my rabbit. now that my cat is getting old i have a rabbit who is always there.

I have a Dutch black and white rabbit named Amber. He is a male although when he was born they said he was female. He is almost 5 years old and very sweet. He follows me around the kitchen and runs laps from the front door to the other end of the kitchen around the trashcan. He wants to be held all day and petted. He has a very distinct personality and likes and dislikes. He was born in Houston Texas and immigrated with us to Israel. He is now a new immigrant. The trip was not easy but he made it. He is now settled in and loves his new home. He is one of the family just like my other children. Life would not be the same without him.

Hi,I have been thinking about getting a rabbit and I am on April 1st. I have looked at all the other breeds but I am in love with the Dutch so I am having that breed. I have heard so many great things about them. So if your getting a rabbit like me get a dutch because from what I have heard they are calm, sweet, friendly, cute and good natured. I am having a male and I am naming him Harvey. Thanks for doing a great website it has given me lots of info on Dutch rabbits!!! I LOVE THEM SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

I have 4 English Spot rabbits and one dutch male, and I have to say the dutch rabbit is much friendlier and good natured, all my rabbits are wonderful but the dutch rabbits do tend to have a good all round temperament and are very loving.

Hi, I had a black and white dutch and he was the most friendly rabbit that I have ever met. He was very social and loved people and our dog very much. If you ever want a pet rabbit, definitely choose a dutch rabbit, a male if you can. They are much more friendly than the females. Mine lived to be 10 years old. They make fantastic pets!!

I have a dutch rabbit and she is very energetic. She speeds around my room and loves to snuggle. She does not like to be picked up.

Dutch Rabbits are great they are very nice and never have bitten me, but they do like to chew on your clothing but thats alright. its very funny and it doesnt hurt. if you get one it will love you very much if you spend a lot of time with it but if you get two together they will run away from you and not like you as much as they like each other. if you dont have time for it dont get one because there is nothing sadder than a bored and lonley rabbit so get two if you dont have time for it as much as you should. but they are still great for every one you just have to be gentle with them and they will love you so much but it takes some time, maybe like 1 month and they will be so much fun if you know how to take good care of them and spend a lot of time with them !!

Hi have the most amazing dutch rabbit ever he came all the way from switzerland to the usa he sleeps in my arms and watches tv with me he loves being cuddled i cant even express how much i love him

My bunny, Abby, is well natured and very friendly. A bunny is a blessing, especially Dutch. They have great personalities, and love people. They can eat and be messy, but they are made like that. They are great pets. If you have a bunny {Especially Dutch} you are an angel, and to your rabbit, you are a blessing.

i have a white and black striped bunny but he always trys to scratch me when i carry him.what do i do? "It sounds like your bunny is trying to get away when you pick him up. Try picking him up by the nape of the neck or under his chest with one hand and put your other hand under his back legs or hold both of his back feet in your hand. Make sure he has support for his back feet. That will make him feel secure and he may not try to get away. I hope this helps!" Dr. Jungle

all your rabits are so cute. Lilly

I have a male. He is my little stud. He is so nosey but I love him to death. I am looking for more. They are hard to find so if you find one, you should take the oppurtunity. They are worth the money and work. They are sweet rabbits. They also have a gentle nature, but just like many other rabbits, they do not like to be held!
