Breeding Mini Lops for All Taste

Looking for the Right Rabbit for Children
|
|
It is almost the holidays and rabbit breeders start getting the emails about wanting rabbits for Christmas. I have seen many of the emails. One of the first questions the parents should think about is the age of the child. Small children 4-6 years of age really need very small rabbits, Netherland Dwarfs. If you are looking at rabbits for 6-8 year olds then you can pick from some of the bigger breeds like Mini Lops. Children that are 8 and older can look at any size rabbit. I tell parents to remember, just like with cats and dogs, the child needs to be old enough to take care of the rabbit. Do not let 4-6 year old children handle the rabbit without adult supervision. I really would not suggest rabbits for pets to children under the age of six, unless they will be the pet of an older sibling.

I have an adorable 2 year old male non-neutered mini lop that needs a good home. Provide an email if you are interested and I can send a picture. I am in High Point.
