Holland Lop Rabbits Available for Adoption

Benjamin and Peter are a very happy pair of bachelor rabbits. Benjamin tends to be more curious and outgoing. He loves to watch any activities that are going on around him. Peter tends to be more cautious but both rabbits will do anything for a treat. Most of the time they do a great job of using the litter box, not perfect but they try. They get nervous being picked up but then very much enjoy being petted and played with. They also love to hop around the living room when possible. They enjoy all sorts of veggies like lettuce, peppers, carrots, etc.

Important information to know before you adopt or purchase a new friend! Rabbits have a long lifespan, and can live on average 8 to 12 years with proper care. Rabbits are not a cheap or easy pet for most households - they eat a LOT (daily rabbit pellets, a constant supply of hay, and fresh produce!) and require a lot of exercise, needing a bunny proof area to expend their energy to stay happy and healthy (think similar to puppy-proofing a room). Rabbits will not be happy spending most of their time alone in a cage - it is critical for owners to spend time petting and properly handling their new rabbits to help get them comfortable in their new environment and bond with you. Speaking of bonding, spaying/neutering a rabbit helps with this! Not only that, but it also helps prevent accidental litters, medical conditions such as ovarian/testicular cancer, and helps promote litter box training and reducing sassy behaviors such as biting or thumping. Every rabbit will have a different personality, but most if not all will need enrichment! This includes bunny-safe objects to chew on to keep their (constantly growing) teeth in check, tunnels to run through, boxes to play in, etc. Rabbits can be phenomenal, long-lived companions when cared for properly, but they are not right for everyone and should not be adopted impulsively. Rabbits, like dogs and cats, should have yearly checkups with your veterinarian and should be on monthly flea/tick preventative if they have access to the outdoors.
