Hi, Can anyone help ? We have a pedigree silver fox netherland dwarf rabbit who lives outside in a hutch with a hutch hugger (has no insulating qualities). As winter is coming fast, is he ok with extra hay and maybe an insulating hutch hugger ? I hope to hear from someone soon. Best Wishes Ian

We've been searching the internet... my 15 yr old daughter & I want to buy a Netherland Dwarf... we haven't had much luck on finding any in our area. I don't mind driving a few hours away. What are the price ranges? Understanding we're not looking for a show bunny. We have 2 cats now, sisters adopted from shelter. I raised hamsters most of my life... and have always wanted a rabbit...the Netherland Dwarf seems perfect for us. We are animal lovers and would love to surprise my daughter for her birthday the end of oct. Any help in finding one, tips, advise on these sweet little animals would be greatly appreciated. Thank you - Amy

can you breed neverland and dutch rabbits

Hello my name is Erica and I am 16 years old I know quite alot about Netherland dwarf bunnies. I have had quite a few Netherland dwarfs and have been through broken bunny legs to bunnies knocking their teeth out. I would be happy to try and answer anyones questions about where to find a good breeder or if you just have a question about your bunny :). You can email me anytime at hockeychick93@comcast.net

Hi, I just got my third Netherland Dwarf 2 months ago. I love her! Her name is Cherries because it is albino and albino rabbits have red eyes. She is very amusing because she is always knocking over her food bowl or be silly. She is very nice when I just want to watch TV with her sitting quietly in my lap. Her favorite vegetable is celery. She loves it when I buy her treats from the pet store. Now I am trying to convince my Grandma to buy a rabbit! So I came to this site to print out some information about rabbits. Cherries is such a card!

Hi! I'm out to look for a new pet bunny...this will be my first of the lagamorph species, and I really don't know what breed to get. I've heard conflicting information on a lot of breeds. i'm looking between a netherland dwarf, holland lop, or mini rex. I really want a cuddly pet that is ready to be spoiled rotten with attention. Can anyone suggest to me a good breed, even if its other than the three I've listed! yumiyoshi3@gmail.com Thanks!

OMG, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME BUNNY. Same color, same markings, same name. He always licks my face as well and I'm wondering if maybe this actually IS the same bunny. I picked up a bunny named thumper at a humane society and he was about two years old. Anybody know? I have a picture but unfortunately it's on another computer...

I need help, my rabbit has the snuffles or something like that. He is not breathing well, he is gasping for air. It's like a fish out of water, the vet bill was 1,326 dollars, way expensive. We just bought the antibiotics, he is the same. Anyone have advice.

Can you please tell me where I can buy a Netherland Dwraf Bunny. I think they are so adorable but I cannot find a breeder around me. I am located in Sumter SC and I am willing to drive to NC or GA. My email address is tiffany25262003@yahoo.com. Thank you Tiffany

Hi. Well, after checking out this site, I finally decided to adopt my first Netherland Dwarf yesterday. He is an eight-week-old chesnut buck. I absolutely love him. He is so sweet and loveable. He is not jumpy nor skittish at all. He sits still and lets my children pet him. He is so full of personality. I am so glad I found this site. Everyone's comments really helped us decide on this breed. My family and I just couldnt be happier. We actually plan on buying an all black baby Netherland from our local petstore later today. Thanks so much!

Help! We just got an 8 mo. old Netherlands Dwarf male and he is very aggressive! We were hoping for a bunny that loves to be cuddled and held and this one just bites us continually. We make sure to hold him properly and are quiet and gentle. I don't think he was handled much in his previous home. But this behavior has me thinking we adopted the wrong rabbit! I have heard that neutering will help and I've heard that since there are no females around, it's probably not so much of a hormonal issue as a behavior problem. Is there hope, or did we just get one that will always be aggressive??

Hello I am currently finding out information on the dwarf rabbit. I wanted to know eaxactly where I can buy one here in the Miami area....Please helllpp! thanks =)

We are new parents of a sweet little netherland named Dolly Biscuit. After reading about the breed, we decided to purchase one as a family pet. We fell in love the moment we saw her! She is light/medium gray in color and has the cutest little face. We have found out quickly that she loves her treats and chews and also her little jingle balls. I'm glad that I found this website to read other stories from owners and also share my story, too.

Hello, my name is Barb. We have a netherland dwarf named "BooBoo" and our little girl has been sick since Christmas day. BooBoo started out with difficulty breathing and making squeaking noises with each breath, her breathing was labored. We took her to the vet the next day which resulted in an exam followed with an injection of Baytrill and tablets to be crushed and given to her for ten days. The tablets simply did not work because mixing them with water was too traumatic for her and too much liquid at one time. We took her in a second time which resulted in another exam (different Vet) and a vial of Baytrill and enough syringes to give her one injection for the next 10 days. Since then her breathing is less labored however she continues to have a lot of mucous draining from her nose. I wipe her nose numerous times every day with a damp cloth, sometimes there is so much that it is dry and crusty. BooBoo is not eating, she does drink but not much. We put carrots, lettuce, Timothy hay and fruit in her cage but to no avail. We love our bunnies and it hurts to see her in this condition. If BooBoo has a cold, will she improve in time? Please advise! Thank-you!

I have a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit. I have had her for about 7 months. She has always been very loving and sweet. She would lay on the couch with me watching tv for hours just about every night. All of the sudden, in the last 3 weeks, she has made a complete turn around. She is biting and scratching me. I can barely get her out of her cage to exercise. I have a nice large pen for her. She has everything she could want. When I put my hands in the cage, she attacks me. She has really bitten me hard. I have a medical problem and I am not very strong and I can not believe that this little bunny is so strong. It scares me that I may drop her because she kicks me so hard that I can barely hold on to her. I have read that females calm down if they are bred. How long does that last? Will she get mean every time she wants to breed or do they calm down after one breeding? What should I do? She is too much for me right now. When I was a child I had a male rabbit and never had any kind of behavior problem. Thanks for any help you can give me. Rhonda Russell

I have ten Netherlands Dwarfs. We originally bought two but we were told they both were males and later we found out one was a female and was pregnant. We separated them after that but we kept making mistakes and letting them reproduce two more times. Now we have ten but we are very happy with them. We have had only two major accidents. At the beginning with the first and second litter we let them be together when they were young and they ended up fighting. One morning we found one of them a female, Pikachu, with part of the fur in her face ripped. We immediately took her to the vet and got her fixed and ever since then we keep them separate in separate cages. Each male has his own cage and females can share cages because they are less territorial and can get used to live with each other. The second accident we had was about two months ago my wife put the cages in out patio. The patio has a roof so she thought the rabbits would be ok with the shadow for the day while she was cleaning the house but when I checked them I found out one of the males Noodle, was shaking and acting weird. We immediately took him in the house along with the other rabbits we cooled him down but it was too late he had a heat stroke. We treated him at home and he survived it took him days but he got full control over his body and can do everything normal now he loses balance from time to time but he is happy again. It was very sad to see him struggling when he lost the mobility of half his body. If you get a rabbit make sure you take precautions when leaving them outside they are very delicate and they can easily die from a stroke. I love my rabbits as if they were my kids. This rabbits are not mean. Some have a stronger character than other but they are good rabbits when you show them respect they will show you love. Pikachu and Noodle seem to be aware we save their lives because they are the rabbits that lick us most and they seem happy to see us every time we get home. We have another male that he is very nice to me now that I don't pick him up anymore. Some rabbits don't like to be picked up they rather be pet in their cages or outside in the floor. As humans not all rabbits are the same you will learn how your rabbit is as you interact with them and you learn what they like and what they don't like and they will be nice to you if you respect them and treat them right. The question shouldn't be if Netherlands Dwarf are good for kids or not the question should be Are your kids good for the Netherlands Dwarf. If your kid is respectful and knows how to handle small animals and can learn to treat the rabbit the right way and learn what the rabbit likes and dislike then it can be a really good pet. Otherwise its better to get a bigger rabbit or even better a different pet like a dog. Sometimes Rabbits can look cute but they might not be the right pet with you they are not a pet you can leave on the corner and just fill their food and water. They need to be cared for, special attention and sometimes they need medical care as well as they are very delicate so think well before you buy a rabbit. Don't let them die because you made a poor choice. There are other pets that need less care and it breaks my heart to know that there are little Pikachus and Noodles not being taken care of and let die because of it. Please think before you get your rabbit.

My grandad has 20 adult netherland dwarf rabbits, 13 girls and 7 boys. They are all soooo cute and have their own. The reason there are lots of mixed reviews is because there are lots of different rabbits, humans aren't all the same so why should rabbits have to be. The majority of ours love being held and stroked but some like to be held up and some along. You just have to get to know your rabbit. Some will love the company of all animals but some will hate it, and some are very territorial and some love you to stroke them in their cage. There are very rarely vicious rabbits, but if you have one, the key thing is trust. The rabbit must know you respect that it is their hutch and must come to you in their own time. We find the boys tend to be a little more territorial than the girls, but it really just depends on the rabbit. To anybody looking into have a netherland dwarf i am sure you have been told they are a lot of work. But they don't always have to be. You can have cared for your rabbit in 10 minutes each day, altough they do like lots of fuss and attention. By having an organised way of cleaning them, most rabbits will choose one corner as their "litter tray" and you can simply clean that corner each day, and your rabbit won't smell much at all. We do, however, have one rabbit with head tilt who almost died and all of the vets said her chances were slim, but she survived. We had to syringe feed her for almost a month and we made a special cushion. Well, good luck to everybody who wants a rabbit, I hope you get your furry little friend soon!

We have 2 N. Dwarf rabbits - both male. Litter box training was a bit trying but it's done now and well worth the patience. I feed the bows ONLY OXBOW pellets and OXBOW grass / hay. Once they turn 6 months old, the hay will become 70% of their diet and the pellets will be cut way back. Vegetables will be introduced at 6 months and fruits there after. I love these rabbits the way some people love their dog. N.Dwarfs can be extremely playful and express themselves very well. We get kisses from the rabbits every day. One of my rabbits only weighed in at 0.6 lbs and the other at 1 lb. These are not the type of rabbits to have around very small children - unless the children are taught to be careful and GENTLE.

I inherited my daughter's Netherland Dwarf when she went to college last year. His name is Wallace and he is adorable. He has a great personality and disposition. I almost lost him this past November. We came home to find blood all over his cage. We rushed him to the vet! It was discovered that he had a mass in his bladder. Although it would cost a lot of money, I decided to go ahead with the surgery,and the doctor's removed a crystalized stone almost the size of his bladder. Wallace miracously survived the surgery and is completely healthy today. I was told not to feed him alfalfa pellets, and that I should feed him Timothy Hay pellets. The Vet told me that pellets should only consist of 25% of his diet and the rest should be leafy greens and carrots. At first he did not like the change in his diet, but now he loves all the greens and only eats a small portion of pellets. He has maintained his weight and his coat is shiny,and he just seems so happy with the change. Because I never had a pet rabbit I just fed him what I thought was good for him. Our Vet's have told us that the alfalfa pellets were first invented for rodents and rabbits that were in labratories. Of course these animals were not expected to live a long life, so the alfalfa was OK to use. Unfortuantely I had to learn what I should feed my bunny the hard way, but thank God he is now happy and healthy. I just love the little guy so much. I always need a dose of rabbit-therapy at the end of the day and he is always happy to give it. I highly recommend Netherland Dwarfs to anyone who wants a pet that is not a cat or dog, but still want an animal that is intelligent and loving.

Hi, very soon I'll be getting a netherland dwarf, they are just so cute! I'll have to be careful when it's out of it's cage because I have four other animals (2 dogs, 2 cats) and the two cats and one of the dogs are very teritorial. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted comments about there bunnies, it has helped me alot! Thanks, Jacki

this is the cutest little bunny on animal-World!

This site has been really helpful for me, I decided I would really like a rabbit. I convinced my parents over and over- they didn't think I would cope with the "effort required to the up-keep of them" Now I am getting one as long as it is small, so this site helped me pick a Netherland or possibly a mini lop-ear though they can grow big Amy

I am very pleased about the information and the pictures available to us at our finger tips! I have had my Netherland Dwarf for almost 4 years now. His name is Duke, it was the street that I used to live on in my home town. He was an engagement gift to me. My dad used to be a netherland dwarf breeder when I was young, and I never thought I would own one again, until he was there in my lap! Thank you again for the wonderful website!

Great site! Such cute pictures! I'm doing a project on netherland dwarf rabbits, it was very helpful going to this site. i even saved the site on my hard drive so i can go back and read the page sometimes! Once again,i love the pictures. thanks!

you site is the awesome. it has such cute animals like the rabbits and guinea pigs. they are so adorable i wish i could get one. I really like the netherland dwarf

I have a netherland dwarf and believe me on this, they are great! My rabbit was in the past abused. When i got her my neighbor who got my rabbits sister, said" Toastie (my rabbit) is known to bite, scratch, and growl. From what i see she just needs love like humans do. Treat animals with care especially rabbits. I suggest if you want a pet to get a netherland, they are the best friends and pets you will have, dont hold back research then go get one. They are great for being pets in show and mostly an everlasting friend even when they are gone. They are great with other pets even my dog gives Toastie kisses on the nose. They are also great with all ages even parents.

I have had Netherland Dwarfs for about 7 years now. My first rabbit that I fell in love with was Casey who I still have. I have recently paid $200 for my 4 GC Buck. I fell in love with this breed and i dont ever plan on changing. My rabbits are very lovable and have a good temperment. The Netherland is a good breed for younger children, because they have a good temperment. I was 8 when i got my first Netherland and I am now all most 16.

Our Netherland Dwarf, Mickey, has been with us since he was 6 weeks old. Now, at 2 years old, he is the sutest, sweetest thing on earth! He is extremely lovable and loves people. Giving "kisses" and playing on the sofa are his favourite activities. I highly reccomend this breed to any young couple who want a "baby" to pamper!

I have recently bought one of these fantastic rabbits. So far it seems very gentle, but also very afraid. I would advice constant supervision if letting them run around the house or backyard as they are very fast and agile. I recomend this rabbit to anyone that loves animals and is prepared to spoil their rabbit with love and affection.
