We then combine the litters and put them together in one of our "toddler cages" until they are 8 weeks old and can be adopted by their new families. We also plan breedings so a few litters are born a day or two apart and will wean from their moms around the same time. They are primarily raised indoors but take "field trips" outside when the weather is ideal. They learn to associate humans with love and have no problems bonding to the members of their new family. The babies are handled constantly and each is treated like our own precious little baby from the moment they were born to the moment they are handed over to their forever families. Here they have plenty of space to run, jump, and climb on things, to play with toys, to explore, to forage for treats, to munch on fresh veggies and an occasional piece of fruit, and finally, to snuggle up on the sofa next to us each evening as we relax. They not only have their own extremely large cages, but they are given opportunities during the day to free roam in the bunny room. Breeding parents are treated as family pets and live an exciting life. This allows every one of them, from our oldest breeding mom, to our tiniest newborn, to live enriched, loved, and happy lives.Īlong with my four children, Tony and I take pride in giving all of our bunnies a wonderful life.

Owners should be experienced, so perhaps not the best breed for young children. Their cute appearance and size appeals to many pet owners but as a small rabbit the Netherland Dwarf requires regular handling when young to avoid problems associated with nervousness (including aggression). Its appearance is compact with a full chest, wide shoulders, round head and eyes with erect ears. The Netherland Dwarf is a very small rabbit, weighing no more than 1.13kg (2.5lb). Initially the breed suffered with inherited tooth and eye problems but responsible breeding seems to have overcome this problem. Introduced into the UK in 1950, the Netherland Dwarf was originally developed in Holland from the Polish rabbit. The Netherland Dwarf is a very well known pet and exhibition rabbit.
