Holland Lop rabbits need similar care like other rabbits do. But they typically need less and smaller stuff since they are much tinier than most other breeds out there. The majority of their nutrients should come primarily from Hay and Orchard Grass.​

​

Our rabbits are fed Producers Pride Rabbit Food at a free choice rate until they are four pounds.

 

If you're buying a junior, it is in your best interest for you to monitor its weight and adjust its food accordingly. In addition to pellets, they are given free choice Timothy hay regardless of age and weight. Clean fresh water should be available to the rabbit at all times.

​

As a nighttime treat, we give the rabbits Black Oil Sunflower Seeds. Hand feeding them is recommended as a bonding activity with your rabbit. We feed them a tablespoon or so every night. It is their favorite. They look forward to it every night.

Treats including carrots, vegetables, fruit, and pre-packaged treats should only be a very limited part of your rabbits diet, their tiny digestive systems are very sensitive.

​

Make sure hay is not dusty.

​

Alfalfa hay can be given in moderation to junior rabbits and nursing mothers.

​

They love leafy greens like lettuce.  Some of these include: Romaine, butterhead, bib, red and green lettuce.  arugula, cilantro, parsley, arugula, spinach, endive, turnip greens, chicory, dandelion greens, raspberry leaves, basil, mint, radicchio, watercress, kale, bok choy, dill, mustard greens, swiss chard, wheat grass, escarole.)

​

Safe vegetables include, but are not limited to, bell peppers. cucumbers, parsnip, zucchini, celery, broccolini, carrots with leaves, broccoli with leaves and stems, brussels spouts and cabbage. 

​

Fruits should only be given as a treat once or twice a week as they are very high in carbohydrates. Safe fruits are apple but not the seeds, banana, most berries, cherries without seeds, grapes, melon, nectarine, orange, papaya, peach, pear, pineapple, plum and watermelon.

​

Abundant and endless supply of fresh water always. They need access to fresh water frequently, as well as hay.

​

They need a regular diet of fresh veggies and rabbit pellets. Their diet is basically the same as every other rabbit out there but in smaller amounts. You’ll likely find that your rabbit prefers certain foods to others, but it is essential to feed them a varied diet – not just their favorite foods all the time.

​

They can be trained just like any other animals, primarily if you use their favorite foods as treats. They come to you from our rabbitry already litter trained and you can even teach they to do simple tricks, like heeling or hopping.
