Pets do not come with pedigrees because pet quality rabbits have undesirable traits for breeding.

Brood quality means the rabbit has faults keeping the rabbit from showing well, or a non-genetic DQ. (Minus being a false dwarf.) I sell my rabbits as brood quality when I think they have traits that could contribute to a breeding program.

Show quality means the rabbit is free of DQ's, and has nice type overall.

I feed my rabbits Purina fiber3, which is 15% protein. My Holland Lops get 1/2 cup of pellets every day, along with a handful of hay every evening.

A peanut is a kit that gets two copies of the dwarfing gene, which makes the kit very small and underdeveloped. Peanuts usually only live a couple days, then fade away. A peanut has very small ears, and a head that is more bulbous than its non-peanut siblings. They also are kind of shaped like a peanut, hence the name.

Holland Lops can weigh anywhere from 2-5 lbs; true dwarfs generally stay under 4 lbs and false dwarfs generally weigh over 4 lbs.

Wire cages are by no means bad, it is one of many ways to raise rabbits. While solid bottomed cages work for some, I choose to use wire cages because it keeps the rabbit off its own urine/feces. You can provide a resting mat if you would like a place for the rabbit to get off the wire. Holland Lops have very thick fur on their feet, so sore hocks are generally not a problem.
