HOPPITY LOPPITY
Pedigree Holland Lops from our family to yours
Hoppity Loppity Rabbitry, based in Parkland, Fl, is a bunny breeder of purebreed pedigreed Holland Lops aimed for show quality whether that is your purpose or just a wonderful pet. We sell in Florida and other states with the help of transport. Our rabbits are raised cage free and socialized from a early start. Our main buck is Spanky's grandson (Top Lop in USA 2018). We are ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Association) and HLSC (Holland Lop Specialty Club) registered breeders.
A Bit of Background
How We Got Started
We fell in love with these wonderful animals and started caring for them and breeding with the help of the children.. Originally we did not plan to operate as a professional Rabbit Breeder, we just wanted wonderful pets for ourselves. However, we became hooked and soon we added a second and then a third one to our family. A little fact is that Holland Lops have a wonderful personality closer to that of a dog/ they bond with their owners and even follow you around the house. No wonder rabbits are the 3rd most popular pet in USA. We share our home with 3 kids, 4 dogs, 1 hamster and our Holland Lops
After acquiring a lot of information about the breeding process, we decided to do our part in preserving it, which led to the birth of our Hoppity Loppity Rabbitry here in Parkland, Fl . We obtained our stock from one of the top Holland Lop Breeders in the country to make sure we had clean blood lines and produce gorgeous show quality babies. Since then, we’ve known so much love, joy and excitement! Contact us to find out more.

Do not bathe the rabbit. They are very clean creatures and bathing them can ham them as they will panic in water may fracture a limb or back. Wet fur can also lead to hypothermia and respiratory Dz.
