The Sweet Droop-Eared Dwarf of the Netherlands

In the 1950s, Dutch rabbit breeder Adriann de Cock crossed French Lops with Netherland Dwarfs to create the smallest, sweetest lopped-eared bunny in the world: the Holland Lop Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Weighing under 4 pounds with a round “crown” of fur on top of their head and velvety ears drooping past their cheeks, Holland Lops look like plush stuffed toys brought to life.

👁️ 360-Degree Vision Superpower

A rabbit’s eyes are positioned high on the sides of its head, granting a nearly 360-degree field of panoramic vision! They can see predators approaching from behind and overhead simultaneously.

🐇 The Magical “Binky” Hop & Tooth Purr

Rabbits have delightful ways of expressing happiness:

• The Binky: A sudden 180-degree twist and leap into the air that indicates pure, unadulterated joy!
• Tooth Purring: When gently petted behind their ears, rabbits softly click their teeth together—a quiet vibrating sound that translates to deep contentment.

🏡 Creating a Bunny Sanctuary

• Unlimited Timothy Hay: Hay makes up 80% of a rabbit’s daily diet, keeping digestive motility smooth.
• Litter Box Training: Rabbits naturally prefer eliminating in a corner litter box filled with Timothy hay and paper bedding!
