Dwarf lops and Mini lops are very similar in appearance, size being the only real difference between the two. Dwarf lops are the larger of the two and may weigh as much as 2.5 kg. The smaller Mini lop has a maximum weight of 1.6 kg. Both varieties have a dense and soft coat and drooping ears.

@Wick haha yes for sure! It’s hard not to be vigilant when we are all in one room! I hear everything, for better or worse. 🙄

The only thing I don’t like so far is they are less excited to come out and play in the morning (because they’ve already been out), so I feel like I’ve actually been interacting with them less. Usually mornings I sit…[Read more]

That’s weird, most rabbits would do the opposite 😀  I guess it’s because she’s used to eating Timothy pellets. She’ll probably come around before long.

Okay thank you so much! I will keep doing that, the only issue I seem to be having is that she picks around the alfalfa pellets and just eats the Timothy. Like… Absolutely no interest 😬

Some mounting is normal, and if it doesn’t lead to fighting that’s a good thing. They both will probably show some dominance displays to try to sort out who will be top bun. Preventing fighting is the top priority, and I’ve found that in small spaces things can escalate to fighting quickly because they don’t have space to get away from each…[Read more]

I weighed him by me standing on the scales and then holding him and deducting the weight, And he weighed about 2kg?

So would that class him as a dwarf?

Thank you for the reply!!!

Ah, I see!  Hopefully they simmer down! It might also be helpful to see if you can identify a trigger to the chasing (like an unmet grooming request, a certain time of day, before meal times, etc). I had one pair that would chase a bit when I was bringing over their food because they were just too excited lol.

Louie is a lucky bunny 💗

Okay great, thanks!! 😁 I will definitely talk to my parents about growing veggies if I can convince them to let me get bunnies!!

Okay, thank you so much for your help! While there is some chasing, there are still lots of positive behaviours, so I think I will just keep an eye out for now.

But yes, they were unaltered before I adopted them. I’m guessing that this may be because the rescue I adopted them from is mainly a cat rescue, not a rabbit rescue, and so it is possible…[Read more]

Thanks, Dana, I will try your suggestions.

Just to clarify what I meant: They are usually not divided, but as the peeing continuous, I tried to divide them several times, for a few days, with no success.

They know each other for more than 3 months, I don’t know if it still considers a new bond.

They don’t need one, but it’s an option if you feel like they need something more comfortable (but like I said, they probably won’t care). Some rabbits have issues with sore hocks and in those cases it can be important to have something soft to cover the floor with.

I agree, getting the hay and fur off is such a pain! 😆

Thanks for everyone’s replys. He’s doing well, I’ve now seen him eat his cecotropes in the normal way on three occasions, he is still eating/drinking. He’s a one year old lion head called bruno and just before lockdown he had his check up (that he gets ever six months) and everything was all good.

Thanks!! I can totally see that now! Won’t a fleece blanket be too hot in the summer? I usually use them in the winter  but they get so mucky and it’s a pain to get the hay off to wash  😂

My Yohio had 3 burrs during his life. No problems whatsoever. He passed away of sth completely unrelated. My current bun Vilde has had 2 burrs so far, he was 7 for both.. No problems with anaesthesia, and he was in a *really* bad way for his first burr. He was practically dying, but the burr turned things around. Like Theo, he was wrongly…[Read more]
