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 and then on an on to our family. A little fact is that rabbits have a wonderful personality closer to that of a dog/ they bond with their owners and even follow you around the house. They do well litter trained and relate well to other animals such as dogs and cats in general. No wonder rabbits are the 3rd most popular pet in USA. We share our home with 3 kids, 4 dogs, our Holland Lops and Netherland Dwarves.
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 some of the top Holland Lop and Netherland Dwarf 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.

Health Tips
-
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. Hot water or hair dryer can scald their skin. If something is very soiled, you can spot clean them with a rag and warm water and maybe dry the fur with blow drier on cold setting but be careful as the noise will spook them.

Learn to handle your rabbit although they do love to be pet, they do not like to be picked up as much. When picking them up support their back legs with arm and hold close to your body. They have powerful back legs but weak spines.

Rabbits do eat a portion of their feces called a caecotroph. This is vital for their intestinal health ad digestion as it contains their probiotic bacteria. You will probably never witness this but if they have a dirty mushy bottom this may indicate a sign of serious disease and veterinary care should be seeked out.

Their nails need to be trimmed often so have your veterinary teach you and if you do not dare then take them to vet for them to do it safely.

They need to be brushed weekly. This will help with their own maintenance and periodic shedding.

When in doubt, always consult with your rabbits veterinarian so make sure you locate one that has experience with rabbits.
