Charlie Roche - 2012-05-14 Most diseases are species specific and don't cross from a human to a turtle or turtle to bird etc. There are a few exceptions such as rabies but rare. So I doubt your daughter can catch anything from your lop. Yes, it is normal for a bunny to eat its poop - provides some sort of additional nutrition. Your vet should be able to answer all your questions and alleviate concern. Just enjoy.
Marie - 2012-05-16 Thank You Charlie again for helping us out I take her to the vet on Friday. I wrote all our questions down so I hope this will help us. :)
Britt - 2011-11-06 Well, I really would like to get a Holland Lop. But a young one. The only problem is I cannot find any breeders. I live in Iowa. Does anyone know of any breeders near Des Moines?

Charlie Roche - 2011-11-07 Try calling any rabbit breeder. There should be some listed in the newspaper - or even an animal shelter. You can ask if they know of a Holland Lop breeder near your area.
Ainslee - 2011-12-13 If you haven't found one yet, try arba.net. Under member resources there's a find a breeder section. Don't know if there's any in your area, but these are all reputable breeders.
Erin - 2012-02-12 Hi Britt, I live in Northwest Iowa. My daughters and I have Holland Lop and Mini Lop babies. They were born about a week ago. If you are still looking for a bunny feel free to email me at jasonerinballou@aol.com.

Kathy - 2012-05-03 I'm getting a little 6 week old blue holland dwarf lop tomorrow. How to get a heads up on the litter training. I hope to train him to be a service bunny. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wish me luck.

Charlie Roche - 2012-05-04 I believe the easest way to litter train a bunny is to place the bunny in a small room (ie laundry room)where you will most likely set up the litter. Spread papers around and when he goes take the paper and crinkle it up and put the litter where the bunny just went with the crinkled up paper inside thelitter (along with the litter). You can then gradually move the litter to where you want it - but just like 6 inches at a time.

Marie - 2012-06-29 We have a beautiful 4 to 5 month old Holland Lop Bunny this is the best domesic bunny you can have they are wonderful with children and you can train them. Our Bunny is so lovable and loves to give kisses on demand and for no reason, at all she thinks she is a cat and loves to be held and will fall asleep on you for hours at a time. She is part of our family and we truly love her and do not regret the decision on getting her. She is also very easy to care for and is very clean and if you are allergic to cats you will not be allergic to her because I am highly allergic to cats and she does not bother me at all. Please think about getting a Holland Lop Bunny. You will be sooo Happy!!! :))))
Rachel L Kobes - 2012-05-12 I plan on gettin a little bunny but I'm curious do they need a lot of vet visits and do they get sick often?

Charlie Roche - 2012-05-12 Bunnies are generally very hardy healthy creatures and shouldn't need trips to the vet. There are two shots required to insure your bunnies health which you or the breeder would have to have for the bunny. Additionally you will probably want to spay or neuter your little one. After that just feed healthy foods and plenty of hay.
Marie - 2012-06-29 Hi Charlie its Marie. (My Beautiful Holland Lop Bunny) Snowball is now 4 to 5 months old but almost everytime I hold her she pee's on me but no one else. Thank God I have a towel on my lap with a garbage bag underneath. But for some reason she loves doing this to me. I am starting to get a complex. LOL!!! Then she will just flop down and go to sleep but before she does this I do change the towel to a fresh one so the scent is not there HELP????? Thank YOU!!!! Have a Great Weekend!!!

Charlie Roche - 2012-06-29 You have a good weekend too. Have no idea why but many parrots regurgitate (throw up) on their human and it is affection. They are trying to feed us. I guess she figure you are her territory - and that is what she wrote. Enjoy and have fun.
Marie - 2012-10-19 Hi Charlie TGIF!!!! Its Marie again I have Snowball the holland lop bunny. I have it running between the kitchen and hall its gated off. He's still pooping all over we had him trained to go in his cage but he does not do it anymore I am not sure if he thinks that this spot is his cage or what its been going on for awhile. We never litter box trained him because he would not go in it. During the day I let him have the run of the house for a couple hours and he loves it he binks (SP). But when he's running around he also poops and pee's where he;s running..l What should I do I am nervous about puting him into the cage at night when we go to bed to retrain him I feel its cruel because the cage is small. Do you have any suggestions??? Thank You so much P.S. He is very spoiled I donnot think he knows he's a bunny I think he think he's one of us LOL!!!!

Erin - 2012-10-19 Hi Marie, I'm not Charlie, but I have an English Lop (Max) that does the same thing. He gets to stay in his cage when I get tiered of picking up Easter Eggs and wiping up the floor. He doesn't seem to mind, he also has a smaller cage. Have you tried to put several litter boxes out just to see if he will use it. I would even lay out papers because you can roll them up and put it in the trash. I have thought about having Max fixed but didn't know if it would help. I think it could because it looks like he is kind of marking when he does this.
Brittney - 2012-10-18 Hi there, My name is Brittney and I am a preschool teacher and one of my co teachers just got a bunny for her classroom. I am concerned that this little guy (Thumber) doesn't get the proper care. He is usually in his cage all the time unless being cleaned. I was wondering if you could give me a detailed list about how to care for this bunny, ways to potty train, diet, play, how long a day he should be out of his cage etc. He is such a lover, and it makes me sad he doesnt get the attention he deserve, therefore i will be taking it on myself. So this info would be soooo greatly appreciated!!! He is about 7 months old. It would also be nice to get info about being around children ways to maybe make it more comfortable for him, the more the better on all the above! :) thanks

Jeremy Roche - 2012-10-18 Litter training is pretty easy but needs consistancy. Having the rabbit stay nights and weekends at school may make it a bit hard. Normally they will pick favorite spots to go to the bathroom. When you figure it's spots put a litter box there with some of it's droppings inside the box. If you want it to learn the box over the spot, place a few litter boxes throughout the room with their droppings in it and they will usually get the hint.
They rabbit will need a lot of touching and attention to make it calm when handled. First the kids will need to be educated and closely monitored. He will need exercise like any animal, unless the cage is huge will need time to stretch and run.
GENESIS - 2006-11-29 I had a floppy ear rabbit, it was brown. I gave it water and rabbit food. Most of the time I gave it vegetables, also carrots. It died a few months later because it didn't want to eat any of its food. I always use to take it out in the back yard to walk around. Sometimes it ate the grass. I loved it. His name was Cookie. It was the best animal I ever had until it died. We buried it in the back yard. Well, that is my comment about my rabbit I use to have. The end.

Kayla - 2012-10-18 You can't give your rabbits just vegetables. they should only be given vegetables once in a while. You MUST avoid lettuce as well.
The cute Holland Lop is a delightful bunny, with adorable floppy ears!

Where did you get your rabbit? Did he belong to anyone else before you got him?
You can't give your rabbits just vegetables. they should only be given vegetables once in a while. You MUST avoid lettuce as well.
