TOP 10 BENEFITS OF A PET RABBIT

1) Low monthly cost to feed and care for a rabbit.
About $2 - $3 a month estimate to care for a pet Holland Lop rabbit. No shots needed typically.

2) Gentle, affectionate & amusing– If held regularly, a rabbit can be a very gentle pet and can bond well with its owner. In a high stress world, having a pet rabbit is a great way to relax.

3) Rabbits offer the flexibility of being indoors or outdoors, although a cage is recommended in either case and certain precautions are needed in extreme weather.

4) Cute, cuddly & adorable, especially when young.

5) Low maintenance & quiet compared to other pets – Don’t require shots or neutering (unless desired) like cats or dogs often do. Also, don't bark like a dog or meow like a cat.

6) Great pet for kids to learn responsibility.

7) Can learn to use a litter box, although not guaranteed.

8) Rabbits can be fed, at least partially, from garden harvests and rabbit manure makes great fertilizer for your garden.

9) Rabbits have a nice life span as a pet, typically living five years or longer. Have read well cared for Holland Lops can live up to 10 years.

10) Male rabbits can be neutered, and it may be possible to spay females.

HOLLAND LOP BREED HISTORY

The small lop-eared rabbit known today as the Holland Lop is the result of experimental breedings by Adriann de Cock, of Tilburg, the Netherlands (aka Holland). As a French Lop and Dwarf enthusiast, De Cock understood the French Lop’s size (15 pounds) was a hindrance to its popularity and felt it’s sweet disposition might be better preserved if crossed with the Netherland Dwarf (two pounds) in an effort to minimize its size.

His first attempt to breed a miniature version of the French Lop occurred in 1949, but the results were a failure. In 1951, he again tried the cross, but this time he reversed gender of each species resulting in greater success, but the offspring had upright ears. To help correct this, a doe from this litter was bred to an English Lop buck with longer lopping ears.

Adriann de Cock continued to developing these lines before distributing/promoting his stock to other breeders. Finally, in 1964 the Holland Lop, or the Dwarf Lop as it is known throughout Europe, was recognized by the Netherland’s Governing Rabbit Council and a full standard of perfection was adopted. As de Cock hoped, the popularity of the breed spread through out Europe and then America. Aleck Brook, founder of the Holland Lop Rabbit Specialty Club (HLRSC), is credited with having first imported the Holland Lop to America in 1975. The Holland Lop was recognized by the American Rabbit Breeder’s Association (ARBA) in 1979.

Being the smallest of the Lop rabbits (3-4 pounds), Hollands make a great pet because they don't require a lot of room. Hollands are an interesting breed because they are found in a multitude of colors and their popularity is further due to their cuddly size and gentle, friendly nature.
