Temperament
Docile and curious; individual rabbits vary far more than the breed reputation suggests.
Grooming
Weekly brushing, more during moult, plus nail trims every 4–6 weeks.
Health considerations
Confirm RHDV2 vaccination status, weaning date at eight weeks or later, and clean ears and teeth.
Is a Holland Lop right for you?
Suits indoor homes able to provide daily out-of-pen exercise and a bonded companion.
Holland Lop FAQs
At what age should a rabbit go home?
Eight weeks at the earliest. Kits sold at four to six weeks have far higher rates of fatal digestive illness.
