Lil' Muffins Rabbitry
Striving to raise quality Holland Lops near Salem, OR.
-
How Big Do Holland Lops Get?Holland Lops can weigh anywhere from 2-5 lbs; true dwarfs generally stay under 4 lbs and false dwarfs generally weigh over 4 lbs.
-
What Should A Holland Lop Be Fed?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.
-
Are Wire Cages Bad?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.
-
Why Don't I Sell Pet Bunnies With Pedigrees?Pets do not come with pedigrees because pet quality rabbits have undesirable traits for breeding.
-
What Is A Peanut?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.

-
What Does Brood Quality Mean?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.
-
What Does Show Quality Mean?Show quality means the rabbit is free of DQ's, and has nice type overall.
