Holland Lops

        

Jump Around's Pumpkin

This was our first Holland Lop into our rabbitry. I just fell in love with him at the fair! Pumpkin LOVES to eat! I give him the amount that every holland needs plus treats once or twice a week plus hay!!! Pumpkin does very well in shows, except in the summer when he sheds and looks like an angora!!!!  He eats right out of your hand and is very gentle!

 

 
 
 
          
Jump Around's Marley
 
 
 
This tort Holland Lop is the offspring of Delilah and Cedar. Marley was born on April 7, 2008 around 6:48pm, in her first show she won Best of breed and second runner up in show! She loves to play and give kisses, so is soooo sweet, so enjoys to play with her toys and to run around!
 

      

Pictured here (L to R) is Campo's Gracin and Jordan's Yukon,

Holland Lops are so sweet. They are almost like Mini lops but smaller.

As much as I love all animals I must say that Holland Lops are one of the best. I said this because they are so mellow, they are also great show rabbits/pets/breeders and friends!

Feeding and Watering

Feeding:

You should feed your rabbit daily around the same time. When your rabbit is under 6 months old, feed him or her, an unlimited amount every day. A great feed supplier is Blue Seal. A great type of blue seal is Hutch #17 because it has proteins; you should check with your rabbit’s breeder and see what he/she is feeding the rabbit.  Holland Lops should have 1/3 of food daily.

Water:

 

Water is probably the most important thing the rabbit needs. You should give the rabbit fresh water AT LEAST once a day at feeding time. Most rabbits will not eat unless they have water. On hot days you should give the rabbit fresh water three times a day and you can even put a few ice cubes into the water. Also on hot days you can fill a 20oz bottle (With label removed) with water and freeze it. Once it is frozen place it in the rabbit’s cage. The rabbit will appreciate it very much.
