Ali - 2015-05-19 Im thinking of getting a mini lop eared bunny in Augest, 2015. If there is anyone who knows where I can find a rabbit breeder near in hinesville, ga, could you please tell me.
Gigi4775 - 2015-11-05 my good friend via horses breeds mini lops and her bunny honey has recently had 8 little babies they are so cute I just have to have one but I wont be able to have it inside the house very often. is this bad it will not be able to live in the house but we have a rabbit hutch and we are going to buy special panels that can fence off an area on the ground, we will build a ladder so that it can get down but after reading comments about all the people who's rabbits live in the house I am unsure of wether it is cruel to leave it outside. I would like a second opinion! thanks
Devin - 2014-06-02 I got two mini lops, they are 4 1/2 months old and are very skittish. They hate being held and don't want anything to do with us. They get along and play with our dog, but want nothing to do with humans. Is this normal behavior? How do I get them to come around we have had them for a month now.

kristen - 2014-07-11 well Devin this is not very common but my rabbit Lilly was like that until I started spending lots of time with them maybe they will like that forever but spend more time with them and treat them while you pet them and such I really hope this works for you!!
Trina - 2015-02-25 Once it gets used to you, hopefully it will be fine. But this should be totally normal. My rabbit was like this, also. Let the rabbit come to you.
gabrielle - 2015-05-29 most bunnies once mature dont really care for being held or carried for long periods of time they rather have their feet on the floor, but if you are patient you should eventually be able to pet them and get them to trust you, i had a mini lop a few years ago that hated being touched thats just how she was, my mini lop now is litterally not afraid of anything and doesnt mind being pet, he doesnt like being carried or held though.
Elizabeth - 2015-01-21 I have two one and a half years old mini lops. Their names are Bramble and Crunch. Crunch is ginger with a white belly and Bramble is black, ginger and white. They both have dark brown eyes and they have had lots of offspring. Now I am a rabbit breeder. The tamest rabbit is black and white, she's called Flopsy and she has two lopped ears. ADORABLE!!
Erica - 2012-02-01 I have a mini lop that is about 2 months old. I've had him for about a month now and love him to death! I carry him with me everywhere and give him lots of affection. He's so loving and so far doesn't mind being held. Here in the past week or two he's started this thing where he will nibble on the carpet and other things around the house. I live in a apartment so he really doesn't go outside much. Because of this I let him run around a lot for exercise. I've tried buying him a few toys but he doesn't seem interested in them. Anyone have some ideas? I want to keep letting him run around but I can't do that if he's chewing on the furniture etc.

Charlie Roche - 2012-02-02 I don't believe you can stop a bunny from chewing - they need a safe area for when you can't supervise.
Erin - 2012-02-12 Our bunnies like toilet paper tubes and boxes. We have one that loves cereal boxes. I have heard of people making a whole play area for them out of things that are ok for them to chew on and are sturdy enough to play on. Their teeth are always growing and need to be able to keep them worn down. Timothy hay is also good. They love to chew on it and it keeps their teeth down. It also provides many benefits to their diet and digestion.
Kristin Peterson - 2012-04-27 A woodblock is a great thing to have for them to chew on! I give my rabbits special toys that are made for rabbits that are big balls with bells in them.
mybunnyisbuzz - 2014-11-21 I have a mini lop who likes scrunched up paper.:-)
sarah - 2013-04-18 I really would like a mini lop or holland lop, but I have two dogs. I couldn't imagine them hurting the bunny, but I wouldn't want to take any chances. Plus, it may be hard to keep the bunny outside and then inside during winter. What do I do?

Jasmine Brough Hinesley - 2013-04-18 You don't necessarily need to keep them outside at all. You could just provide a large enough cage to keep indoors and then let them have a certain play area outside of their cage on a daily basis. Just a thought.
????? - 2014-01-08 My bunnies usually stay in a cage except when I let them run around or cuddle them so you could keep them in a cage in a different room and when your dogs are out going for a walk or something you could let them run around.
Anonymous - 2003-12-07 i have a mini lop rabbit and he is so loyal, my other rabbits are not loyal at all! my mini lop likes to cuddle and will even walk on a leash!!! If i was looking for another pet i would get a nother mini lop!

E.M. - 2013-02-23 I am looking for a mini lop rabbit can't seem to locate one. Would you happen to know where I could get one? Thank you so much. Anxious to hear from you, E.M.
Candace Brittane Bruce - 2013-04-20 get on to the ARBA web sight (arba.com i think) and search for a local show in your area or you can even search for breeders in your area on there. go to show or contact a breeder. if you are just looking for a pet a mismarked one always shows up every now and then in a litter. these animals are likely to be healthier and actually the breed you are paying for than a pet store. alot of the time pet store rabbits are not what they say they are and being in the pet store is very stressful for them making them more likly to get sick. not sure where you are from but i am close to dayton ohio. i happen to have two for sale and one of them even knows how to use a litter boxbut only while she is in the cage. i have dogs so she is only out supervised so no real need for me to try to train her outside of her cage to use one lol. hope this helps
JANE - 2013-03-24 Do rabbits bite? What type rabbits are the best to be handled as pets?

Jasmine Brough Hinesley - 2013-03-24 Yes rabbits can bite. Especially if they are not handled regularly from the time they are babies. If you get a baby rabbit and handle him often he will more than likely grow up to be docile and friendly and you should have few, if any, problems with your rabbit biting. This is true of all rabbits, however some breeds are better for beginners and children because they don't get as large and sometimes have more gentle personalities. Some of these include the Mini-Lop Rabbit, the American Fuzzy Lop Rabbit, and the Dutch Rabbit.
The Mini Lop Rabbit has adorable droopy ears, making it look sweet and even a bit comical!
