only the best for my buns

    Producing sweet, adorable, purebred Holland lops for loving homes. I breed as a hobby, selling my bunnies as pets on a small scale in Wayne, New Jersey. Each little bun has been raised personally by me, inside my home, with loads of love and affection since birth. Handled with care each day, receiving plenty of exercise, clean water, fresh food, and cozy pens to live in, my bunnies are an active part of my everyday life and the lives of my family and friends. With unique personalities and a craving for interaction, you will find that quality bunnies are very sociable, loving creatures that are sure to melt your heart.

What is a Holland Lop?

• Holland lops are a compact dwarf breed of rabbit known for having adorably lopped ears and a sweet temperament
• Weighing  2 - 4 lbs
• They are one of the smallest breed of rabbits 
• They have a lifespan averaging 7 - 12 years
• They come in a variety of colors and have become a favorite breed 
• They are silent for the most part, making a few occasional subtle noises
• Holland lops are social animals and thrive on companionship

How do I care for them?

• Their diet primarily consists of timothy hay, plus a good, high quality pellet feed, as well as clean, fresh drinking water
• Healthy veggies and occasional treats can be worked into to their diet at around 4 - 6 months slowly, as their tummies are very delicate
• Although a small breed, Holland lops do need space to hop around freely and should be kept in a large cage/crate, hutch, or exercise pen, or may be kept as free roaming house bunnies as long as your home is bunny proofed (free from exposed wires, chords, or anything harmful for them to chew on)
• Exercise is important for bunnies, so plan on giving them playtime in a safe, secure environment outside of their enclosures routinely
• Bunnies love to get cozy. Provide your bunny with a small fleece blanket or something soft to cuddle up with
• Handle your bunny daily in order to strengthen your bond and ensure they remain affectionate and cuddly. Start on ground level in a small space to get used to scooping them up and holding them properly
• To add some fun, give your bunny toys. A good rabbit-safe wood chew toy is a favorite and keeps their teeth in good shape. Willow balls and untreated blocks of wood are good options. Other great toys include toilet paper tubes filled with hay, whiffle balls, cardboard boxes, tunnels and toys for babies such as plastic teething rings and stackable cups
• Bunnies can be litter trained with a little patience, usually taking a few weeks. You will need a litter box with absorbant material to fill it with such as paper bedding, wood pellets or shavings. I prefer to use wood pellets (Cozy'n Fresh, Aspen Supreme, Feline Pine or Equine Fresh) and wired grated litter boxes to prevent mess and for easy cleanup. Bunnies usually prefer a specific corner as their designated potty so at first, test a few corners with more than one litter box to see where your bunny likes to go.
• You will need to groom your bunny regularly by trimming its nails every month or so and brushing its fur every few weeks

Is a bunny a good choice for children?

My bunnies are well acclimated to kids and especially love to be pet by people of all ages. It is important, however, to keep in mind that rabbits are delicate, quiet animals and can be frightened and become skittish if approached or handled inappropriately. Always supervise your children when playing with the bunny. I recommend sitting on the ground during playtime and having your child learn how to pet and hold the bunny safely making sure not to harm it. To promote a safe and friendly environment, each child must be gentle when dealing with their bunny and learn to handle them with care, never squeezing, chasing or grabbing the bunny. If your child is cooperative, calm, and capable of gentle interaction, having a bunny as a member of the family can be very enjoyable.

Will my bunny get along with my other pets?

     In the right environment and with a gentle introduction, it is possible for rabbits to get along with other house pets. Once you bring your bunny home, you may be tempted to immediately introduce them to your cat or dog but it is imperative that you resist this urge and follow some important steps first. Give your bunny a few days alone, away from other household pets so that it may acclimate to its new home at ease. You can then introduce your dog or cat with the bunny safely inside a cage or pen at first and working into supervised sessions, gradually increasing their time until you are confident that neither one poses a threat. This process can take days, weeks or months to be successful. Eventually, most rabbits and other pets get used to each other but it's wise to consider your pet's personality and decide if you are able to approach this task with patience and diligence. If not, you will need to be prepared to keep your bunny permanently separate and secure away from other pets. 

Is a Holland Lop right for me?

       Holland lops are very playful, curious, generally non-aggressive, loving pets. They are the softest animals in the world and with an established bond, can offer great companionship. As with all pets, they do come with responsibility and will need some T.L.C. from their owner on a  daily  basis. Holland lops can adapt to various environments and personalities as long as you remain patient and ensure that your bunny is protected and feels safe. Once you have built a solid relationship with your bunny, you will have their love and adoration for life. If you are thinking about getting a Holland lop you will want to consider the time, finances and space needed to acclimate, take care of, possibly neuter or spay, and keep a bunny long term (around 10 years). If you are ready to take on this commitment, I am more than happy to help.
