Holland Lop Behavior: The Truth About Holland Lop Rabbits!

[@LennonTheBunny]

Forgot to mention they are between 2-4 lbs! lol. Would you get a holland lop? comment below!

[@MK-gr2bf]

Yes! I But i already have my Holland lop😊❤ His name is Ralph😁

[@towmlvb3423]

I would not like to own, so I will not own, any animal that has been bred to satisfy the breeders' bank accounts and the owners' irrational desires when all that causes pain and suffering to the animals in question. One of the worst examples of that cruelty is the fashion for brachycephalic dogs, poor little beings with squashed faces hiding an upper respiratory situation which is awful for the victims. I did not know that HL rabbits were brachycephalic, and I had already decided my pets were as much as I could keep correctly, but if now a friend or neighbour asks me what I think of an HL rabbit as a potential pet I shall direct them to the picture of those awful incisors. The only way to stop abusive breeding is to make it unprofitable by not buying its victims.

[@marthacerrato5769]

I have one! Ans she’s pure love! Smart! I don’t know what my other bunny is but his face is so short too! Any video on ear mites? Like any video you have made? Btw love your videos! Lots of good content!!

[@StormStrikestudios]

I have one named angel and I can say he isn’t an angel some times 😅

[@kimberlykhan9477]

Yes i own 1, i wasn't aware of their health issues prior, i've had rabbits since i was little never a lop though thats indoor trained. My HL does have some health issue with URI or Snuffles not sure if both go hand in hand i believe i was told it does by a Vet. However, vets are unable to pinpoint the exact problem so whatever they have been doing for us isn't helping much. I will never get another rabbit to end up in this same problem again!

[@louisejensen3086]

I am glad you mentioned the narrowed ear canals and dental problems. I visted one of Denmarks biggest rabbit shows this summer, together with some vets and vet student who specialices in rabbits. Many of the owners were kind enough to let ud look at the bunnies and examine their ear canals. And *every singel one* of the Lops we looked at had narrowed ear canals. A little more than half showed clear sign of discomfort from them. And mind you, this was at a top end rabbit show with some of the best bunnies in the breed - not some backyard breeding but people who really care about producing good quality rabbits. On the bright side, almost none of the lops showed signs of dental problems, but that might be due to the danish breeding standards, not calling for a face quite as short as other countries at this is known to give more dental problems. But this really showed to me, how bad the problem with lopped ears are. And no amount of 'good breeding' can fix lopped ear, when the root of the problem is, that the ears are bent at the base. And it causes so much stress and suffering for bunnies all over the world whose owner are not aware or don't have the money for vet care. So please, be responsible and never support breeding of lopped eared bunnies. And please, if you ever adopt one, make sure to get the ears looked at by a specialist and have the funds for lifelong treatment with eardrops or an operation to open the ear canal if necessary.

I have two Holland Lops that needed a home that I got from Craigslist. It does take money to keep them healthy. Both of mines have health insurance coverage and I've spent thousands both spoiling them and maintaining their general health. It's a commitment that I would not change and a joy to see their personalities flourish, plus I was able to bond them and it's the cutest thing to see them together being each other's keepers.

[@jmbakkinator]

I’ve had holland lops, lion heads and Jersey woolies - all lived 10-11 years, all house/free roamers. My current one is 3.5 yrs old and is totally healthy. He gets fresh home grown salads twice a day and oxbow hay all day! He has his own room, stairs that go up to his window and tons of toys etc.

[@darkdialga777]

sounds like your bunny is living the good life.

[@chrissy24-7]

That's so cool, it's like you bunnified the place for him! ❤️

[@GutBunnies]

I just lost my bunny on Sunday. 4 years ago i watched a video of yours to care for him. Thanks to you, he was free roam and it was the best 4 years of my life. Im so glad to see this channel going strong. You and lennon will be in my hearts forever, thank you

[@m.e.summer5541]

My heart goes out to you...

[@EeveeTinna]

Don't have a Holland lop, but a Mini-lop, and luckily she has not had any ear or teeth problems as of yet. She is a very healthy bun and I hope this continues for the longest time possible ♥ She is sassy and cuddly in her own way (no picking up allowed), and I love her so much.

[@ascosche]

She doesn't allow being held or you don't allow it? Just curious.

[@oszpi4250]

I had a holland lop. He was the sweetest but he made bunnyproofing a challenge as he was the most curious little ball of fur. He lived for 8 years.

[@renatocag8534]

I have a Holland lop and she's 12 years old and very healthy and free roam all day ! Sweetest ever ! Thanks for all your information !!!

[@caroltinga4731]

I had a gorgeous Holland lop, Vespa, a 4 pound Zen Master, who inspired me to do a PhD on pet rabbit care and the owner-rabbit relationship at the Ontario Veterinary College, in Guelph, Canada. (The thesis and research papers will be out over the next year.) Thanks for reporting on the work at the RVC (Royal Veterinary College) in London, England, about lop eared rabbits compared to erect eared rabbits. They do great work at the RVC and really care about rabbits. Rabbits are popular pets in the UK and the RVC team and other research teams in the UK and Europe are interested and concerned about rabbit welfare. Hopefully raised awareness can help owners get rabbits that start looking ill and/or behaving out of character off to the vet faster for care. Thanks for your informative, beautifully produced videos. All the best to you and Lennon.

[@m.e.summer5541]

I have never been more in love with anything or anyone than I am with my Holland Lop.... he is a free roam bunny and goes pretty much anywhere he pleases. A very good bunny a very sweet bunny and was easily potty-trained after he was fixed. I am so thrilled and determined to be a good bunny mom. Your videos are my go to for advice

[@A.h0808]

I had a Holland lop. His name was thumper he was the sweetest thing I love him so so much and he died 2 days ago of gastrointestinal stasis. It’s basically where a rabbits digestive system completely stops or slows down due to it eating something it shouldn’t. This is a reminder to anyone with a rabbit please don’t feed your rabbit anything that isn’t for them, my 8 yo sister saw me giving him some millit as a treat once a week (millit is bird food but rabbits can have small amnts) and she thought she could give him a large amount For his food a few days ago, he stopped eating, drinking and using the toilet altogether, we thought it was just constipation so we took him to the vet and he didn’t think it was fatal, but he got weaker and weaker after he got home even with the medication we fed him every few hours, he died 8 hours after taking him home from the vet at 1am. Please, if you notice something wrong with your rabbit take them to the vet straight away. Rabbits are very sensitive creatures and I don’t think I’ll ever recover from my one’s death. 😕

[@The1ndonly_Saraa]

I hope you feel ok for Thumpers loss ❤

[@Piperloumeditation]

Wow I’m so sorry . I’m shock that the meds didn’t work . I have ones I was going adopted so I’m worried wow .. I might have think about this .

[@sharonwheat4288]

Yes, I got my Holland Lop Doe, Pebbles Bunnykins nearly a year ago in August of 2022, she was just about 7 months old … I love ❤ my Pebbles so very much, she acts just like a puppy dog and follows my feet all around my living room 🥰😍🤩😂

[@yourbeautybaby]

oh my gosh, my old rabbit was also named bunnykins! but we called him BK. He passed about 7 years ago now but seeing that name warms my heart

[@carlyl7020]

Wasn't leaning toward a Holland Lop before this video, and as beloved as they are I think this video confirms that they're not the right bun for us... I'd love to see more of these on different breeds!

[@alnettles987]

Yes different breed viddys is such a great idea for a new playlist of it's very own..what do you think Mrs.Lenny

[@ponderin]

Just got one from a kid at fair. It was one of his fair projects. The look on his face while he helped my 6yr old to the car with our new bunny was priceless. Thankful for America's agriculture!!

[@Taryn_Humphreys]

YES this is the reason I’m getting a bunny he is so cute I’m so excited to do shows

[@maris8435]

We just adopted our Holland Lop from the shelter 6 days ago and we are so in love with him. He has blown me away with how smart, sweet, and clean he is. He loves being pet and does binkies galore! I’ve learned so much from this channel and how to create such a great life for him but he seems to be making my life better with him just simply existing in it!

[@heidimalek122]

Our preschool adopted a black miniature Holland Lop during the pandemic...your videos have been SO helpful!!❤ she free roams in the afternoon and truly reacts to the kiddos as if they're her bunny brothers and sisters😊

[@catshez]

Awww thank you for this video. Such great information that I needed ! . My bun, Snoopy is a pure white Holland Lop with bright blue eyes.. he found me after being returned to the shelter twice 😢 We met last December when I volunteered at our local farm shelter, and I couldn't understand why he would be taken to a shelter at all, let alone twice in his first year of life , So sweet and friendly.. I had my first rabbit giant called Steve a few years ago and he was taken suddenly just after he was two years old, and I didn't think I could or would ever have another rabbit.. the pain of losing Steve was too much, devastated me...😥. but then Snoopy came into my life, perhaps when we both needed each other, He has a very free life with me, no cage , just our little den outside together and our garden, and this summer he "left home" and made his own burrow, as boy bunnies do.. He comes to me and loves loving, and can be his wild self.. Again thank you for your video, will keep an eye on his teeth (although given the bark and wood he chews on I think he knows how to deal with his own dentistry 😂)

[@ashleighnichole8197]

My 2 Holland Lops lived to be 15 years old 💜💜 but that wasnt without lots of money spent on vet bills haha. They had free range and vack when i got them when i was 18...2006, people thought that was so weird. So happy its become more the norm now!

[@sabinemeyerzureckendorf6001]

I adopted a Holland lob 2 years ago because she needed a home and she’s a sweet girl but she really doesn’t hear as well as my former bunny did I think due to the floppy ears . I really think it’s not a great idea to breed bunnies like this! Yes ,she’s very cute,but she already had big issues with stasis,4 times in two years. Thank you so much for your informations ! Paulinchen is doing well right now and loves her little dog companion and I will do whatever it takes to keep her happy 💖

[@johndenny21]

Great video! We are picking up a holland lop in a few days for my animal loving daughter. Had a rabbit as a kid and I absolutely loved him!

[@ashlimyers207]

I got a lop for my 8 year old daughter but the whole family has fallen in love with her and she is all of ours. Even my two boxers love her and when she hears my husband she runs to him and jumps in his lap she loves him. And I pick up what my daughter slacks on taking care of her each day. She is a very loved little bun. Her name is Buddercup 😊

[@Bageldabun]

I love my holland lop so very so dearly but sometimes he can get random ear problems which is a con but they are sooo adorable. Love you Lennon

[@solarbee8843]

I have a female Holland lop that is so sweet! She’s our little sleepy girl sometimes we even joke that she daydreams a lot 😂 Or that she acts like nothing scares her 😂 she’s our fearless girl her name is Libra. And I got a Lionhead who has high anxiety and is always stressed out named Leo. Libra helps calm Leo’s anxiety it’s pretty cute

[@zach3431]

My boyfriend have a holland lop and is black and her name is Chloe. She is so sweet and loves attention from anyone that comes into our house. Even strangers she will hop right up to them. She is 6 years old and we got her from a family who really didn't do much with her, which is why we took her. They had her in a small cage and she was kept in their garage. Which broke my heart, and when I found out they needed someone to take her I hopped on the chance. We have had her for about a month and she loves being able to race around the house and do her binkies and she does her flops all the time. We are in the process of litter training her but she is extremely intelligent. We love her so much!

[@bunnylovr191]

I have a holland lop named Franklin, he is 2 years old and the happiest can be! He likes hopping down the stairs to visit my family in the kitchen, he’s a trickster!

[@fizzyfamproductions1565]

Early , I have a Holland lop and have had the breed for 4 years now! I’m hoping to also get a French lop in the future . You got my bunny out of a cage and into a large pen and daily free roaming!!🎉❤❤❤❤you’ve also taught me many dos and don’t s

[@infinityc2859]

My family already have a Mini Rex named Oreo but we got another bunny and he's a holland lop mix. We've named him Toasty and apparently his previous owners left him when they moved out of their apartment, which breaks my heart because he's such a sweet and playful boy that deserves all the love. Since he's a mix he has a longer face and legs but still has the floppity loppities and the fluff crown. We have not bonded our bunnies yet and I don't know if we will because they live in separate rooms. This afternoon I looked over to see Toasty flopped over with his head completely to the ground and that made my heart melt because he feels so safe and comfortable. He's my baby and I wouldn't trade him for the world and I hope he lives a long happy life.

[@liselarsen2839]

I have two holland loop rabbits named Palma and Mimi, and I love them so much. They are very affectionate and loves to be cuddled for a long time. Their eyes is very expressive, and I can often tell how they feel by the look in their eyes. I think they have many emotions and are clever animals with a very good memory. For example, the oldest rabbit is no longer allowed to enter some parts of the house (my childrens rooms) because she chewed on too many things. But she'll never forget what that part of the house looks like, and she's always looking for a chance to run back in there. And if she gets the chance, she knows exactly where she wants to go and runs fast to get there 😄💗💗💗

[@babalaba10]

I love my little Holland lop! Thanks for putting her in the video 😊. She’s spayed but she’s definitely still very sassy! She’s 7 but she better make it way longer!

[@IzzyandShadow]

My Izzy is very sassy too she bullies her partner shadow despite being like half his size 😂

[@redpandavibes7611]

lol "Holland lops are not starter pets especially for young children" me watching every single one of these videos and learning info to own 2 holland lops at 11 yrs old...love your vids!

[@ArtistChibi]

My first rabbit was a Holland Lop mix. Sadly, he passed away while undergoing his neutering back in 2021. I miss my Shen baby. But that's okay. Because his very existence is the reason we've been adopting from our local shelter, instead. Went from one to now four. All various personalities with one obvious trait. Staring at me each time I open a bag of some kind. "Treat?" While I may not think about getting another Holland Lop, or any lop, in the near future, I will never forget the bunny who started it all for me. My sweet baby boy, the rabbit god, Tu'er Shen.

[@NataliePrescott-ro9gz]

I have a holland lop unfortunately from a breeder but my bunny is very sweet and smart although she was from a breeder she is very happy and healthy and I have learned so much from you on how to take care of her all to giving her a space of her own THANK YOU for helping us for the best care for rabbits

[@laylaboot5274]

I had a Holland lop, Nancy. Nancy was a very sweet bunny. I had her only a little over 5 months. When i was spending time with Nancy, my mom and I realized she had lost a lot of weight, we assumed my other rabbit was being a hog over food, so we fed both rabbits separately and my mom and I were going to give Nancy time to see if she were to fatten up. But one day, I got home from school one day to see she passed away. We think she died from cancer, but we aren't 100% sure, so if you guys get a holland lop make sure to take them to a vet before things get worse!

[@Thepublicaccount]

For anyone reading this and I never see this post it or talked about. If you have small animals and it’s even not a bad idea to do it with bigger animals.. you get used to seeing them every day just think of it friends that you see every day if you lose five or 10 pounds they don’t notice but if it’s a friend you see once every two or three months, the first thing they say is wow you’ve lost weight. You may not even notice you’ve lost weight unless you take a picture of your before and after and look at them the same thing happens when we see our animals daily small animals like ferrets rabbits just a tiny bit of weight gain can become critical fast. You should be weighing them at least weekly. Any animal that loses weight should get a vet appointment, but small animals like this should be treated as an emergency if they lose weight now if you’ve had your rabbit in a pen and you start free roaming them, I would weigh them the day you take them out of the pan and weigh them daily and at the end of the week talk to your vet if you notice a loss because with exercise, they will lose a little bit of weight, but stay in touch with your Vet during the transition to make sure they are getting into a healthy weight and it’s not an illness. Almost every illness in a small compact animal will show with a weight loss before you ever see a sign. Remember, these are wild animals. They are used to hiding illness because it is a weakness.

[@Lorelei6660]

Sorry for ur loss ❤

[@emmalyns19]

i LOVE TOU SO MUCH THANKS FOR ALL THE TIPS! i have a holland lop and this definitely helped!

[@faisalee]

Great video as always. I have a mini lop, 3 years old boy and a holland lop 2 years old girl, both have been “fixed”. Sherlock, the mini lop, has regular visits ever 3 to 4 months for his dental training due to misalignment, just like you mentioned. He had slight ear wax build up and requires regular cleaning and anti infection drops in his ears. Like many others said, we love both of them to bits and can’t imagine a life without them dispute being super expensive to maintain. But we won’t have it any other way ❤️

[@maggiemcintyre7835]

I have two rabbits, one being a holland lop which we named Nala. We were searching for a holland lop and a few other breeds as well that had a calm and loving temperament. She was listed on Petfinder at an animal shelter so we decided to visit her there. The people working there informed us that she had just been spayed the day before so they told us to “not be too rough with her and to be carful if we decided to pick her up”. They then walked us to the room where she was and left, closing the door behind them. Given that we were complete strangers and they decided to not supervise and gave little instruction, this was concerning to me. I knew that they didn’t care much for these rabbits. She was in a small cage with little hay, had wood chip bedding, horrible pellets and was right next to the room where the dogs were kept. The walls were thin so the bunny’s didn’t have a break from the dogs barking. We tried to say hi to her but she was very nervous and tried to hide in the corner. We didn’t have the chance to really get to know her, but we honestly felt really bad for her and made the decision to adopt her the next day. It took her awhile to warm up to my mom and I, which was unlike our first bunny who we had adopted a few weeks earlier. We did our best taking care of her after she was spayed and was even litter box trained within a couple of days. Eventually we moved her pen next to my other bunnyto begin the bonding process. They were bonded within a few months and started free roaming together. Nala isn’t much of a people person, nor is she cuddly and calm. She is very energetic, active and social. You can count on her to come up to you and beg for food, she loooves her lettuce and treats. Basically, she defies all holland lop traits which is what we were originally looking for but I wouldn’t trade her for any other bunny. Getting to know her has been the best thing ever, I love her so much. I’m glad we were able to bond her with my lion head Oliver, who acts just like a typical holland lop😂.

[@towmlvb3423]

Omnia vincit amor. Love conquers all. Well done for a clearly necessary adoption that has become a great relationship.

[@TommyTom-kb8gr]

Would like to see some of the best of Lennon as she is getting kinda old and I know . Like to see Lennon out in the public and hear people say things like ...what mellow rabbit she is cause she is .. and see her warm hearts ♥️. Like the time you took her to Philly . We love Lennon very very much and will always have her in our hearts ♥️

[@haley-9080]

We have a holland lop girl (spayed) and a neutered male lionhead. Their personalities are night & day. I thought it was just different bunnies=different personalities but over the years i’ve seen that they both perfectly fit traits for their breeds! It’s so wild. Our holland lop is spunky as can be, smart as hell, super social, and feisty feisty feisty. We love her so much

[@Melichildofdemon]

my Lennon (2y) is a Minnie loop she is such a sweetheart, but a boss girl at the same time. she is really relax and Love other Humans, but she fight from time to time her Brother . so this is a mix between Power and Stubborn's personalty with a very trustfully warm heart and very smart. In my experience, they also get bored faster than other types of bunnies. I can come up with something new every day. she obeys like a dog. She is very charming, healthy so far, but they also tend to gain weight. But you are very charismatic and my Lennon loves the world. she would even get kidnapped if you or anyone else were there with no problem because she loves people too much. she flirts with the courier, the electrician, with everyone. And she knows how cute she is and use this the whole time. And is obsessed with nanas . I'm so grateful for you video. bunnies in general are so amazing and give so much for her pack, her humans if we threat them with respect, I hope we (I come from Germany) in Germany become a bigger lobby for this smart ones who give us more than we can ever realize.

[@40kroner]

I have 2 Holland lops that I'm hoping to bond over the summer. One of them is just the sweetest little demon in the world and the other one hates everything related to humans - except treats, she'll snatch those and run off and hide with them

[@Buiinies]

Momma we made it! 🙌 Great video and very informative! Love learning more about our buns and how we can be proactive on what we can prepare for when investing in a holland! Amazing seeing everyone's buns and some of my buns / birdies 😂 Thank you Lorelei!

[@rosema1001]

I’ve had a Lion Head , Rex , Mini Lop and Holland Lop. The HL has been my favorite. Most affectionate and highly intelligent. Very healthy bunny. No more health issues than other breeds. They’re each a little unique.

[@bohditony]

Thank you for stressing adoption. The info & history very informative ❤️

[@SuperSammyRae]

I have a mini lop, a little larger than the Holland lop. Honestly the sweetest bean in the world! She was so easy to train and is my best friend!

[@Blue-wv3le]

They are the pugs of the rabbit world. They are brachycephalic, prone to hearing issues, and other health issues. I love them but I would only adopt one to prevent the breeding of them.

[@kalstkim1254]

ive got a holland lop, he's adorable and he lays down so we can see him all the time and he has his eye on you! He is spoiled with everything a bunny needs or wants. He's so excited to eat he does laps.

[@LavendarMocha]

I have a HL who free roams throughout the house all day, caged at bedtime only. He’s the best. He’s so friendly. It’s perfect bc my son and i are allergic to cats and dogs.

Congrats😊

[@mysticalmonotreme]

I remember my first rabbit was a Holland Lop and I can confirm the malocclusion was he required constant dental care. He unfortunately developed a tumor that forced us to have him put to sleep. It broke my heart since he was a sweet bun.

[@janeteckhart4886]

I have a holland lop. He just turned four. We have had one emergency trip to the vet for gi stasis. Fortunately I caught it early and he recovered very quickly. He is the best boy and makes me laugh almost every single day. He is very gentle and has never nipped in anger. He is crated at night and free roams during the day. He is excellent about using his litter box. He knows several tricks and I intend to teach him more. He is very food motivated. I don't regret getting him for one second!

[@suburbias]

I formerly owned a Holland Lop and she unfortunately did have dental issues. She was very sweet. It is unfortunate the health challenges they inherit. Thank you for this informative video.

[@laurieanthony1556]

One of my boys is a holland lop and I always could tell he had trouble hearing and seeing. His calm temperament never stops him from being a very curious bunny however he always lays down close to me while I'm sleeping and is so clingy. I couldn't imagine any other rabbit as my first solo pet!

[@wootengluten]

I have a Holland lop/ angora mix. (Or so I was told) she just turned 2. Her name is Honeybun and she is so sweet! She is solid grey with grayish eyes as well.Sometimes both ears lop but usually one is up and one down We just went through Stasis which was so scary ,but she is better now. We're in Ohio and the vet trip for stasis with vet trip,xray and meds was $450.00. Her spay when we got her was 200.00. She's an expensive Queen ,but i wouldnt change it,she brings us so much happiness. Love your channel . We have been watching since we got her 2 years ago. Your channel has been so informative and helpful to us. ❤❤

[@arliejonathan7124]

[@RainbowTearz]

Yes! I totally have a holland lop that I greatly adore, and vice versa (her name is Kira btw ❤). Also, this video is fantastic! I appreciate how informative it is on a specific breed, and inludes both the pros and cons. There's always various pros and cons to taking in any pet so it's good to have well-developed videos like this one available as a resource. 😁

[@alec6092]

This video was great! It’s been the breed I’ve wanted for when I have a place of my own. I’ll definitely give it some more thought given the potential health risks

[@annelisewhite6244]

I have an almost 10 year old English rex. I then got a chinchilla half lop (now 1.5 yrs) they definitely have very different personalities. My lop is much more affectionate and human company orientated.

[@SkipperBoy]

I have a 4month old holland mini lop mix ❤ he is such a sweet boy! Already have the quote from the vet to get him fixed (they are waiting until he’s a bit older because his balls haven’t drop yet) here within the next month (hopefully) he’ll get fixed! All my pets get fixed, because it extends there life, and I never bread them. So excited to turn the extra room (once my roommate moves out) into a bunny paradise for him! With a couch for myself and a TV in there also, so I can spend tons of time with him! Since I’m a disabled veteran, I spend a lot of time at home, so lots of time to work on training!

[@socalbunz]

I have 3 Holland lops! My little old man is 9.5 years and has been the biggest sweetheart his entire life!! My 2 year old girl is sassy and into EVERYTHING but so sweet!! My 2 year old boy is a sweet, shy boy, who loves to jump on my bed and stays up there all night! Point being…Holland lops are amazing, sweet bunnies, but in my experience, they all have different personalities. Which really make me love them all more! Great video!!

[@Smolgnome828]

Love your videos!♥️ I have 4 lop bunnies named-Snickers,Benji,Cinnabun, and, Thumper this video really helped! So thank you!💜

[@Jeskrist5]

I made the mistake of purchasing my lop from a pet store, but I have no regrets about him. I did my research and only found out after that lops are more prone to health issues than the straight eared rabbits. He is my pride and joy and yes vet trips are expensive but I am VERY COMMITTED to his health and well being. In the future I will most definitely adopt. Similar to pugs, I wish breeders would stop breeding Holland Lops. It would be a smarter idea to just stick with the healthiest breed of rabbit for everyone, or basically just have one breed in existence. For now, so are so many bunnies that need homes that I will do my part in adopting and educating people about rabbits :)

[@imacrayzcritter]

I had a Holland lop. She just passed away this past April at 9 and a half years old. She was such a beautiful, sassy, sweet bunny. She is in my profile pic with my Havana.

[@JessicaHellsing]

My first rabbit was a Holland Lop. He was my best friend and i loved him so much. He passed in 2012 and it still hurts to this day. I adopted him from a friend who couldnt keep him. He had alot of teeth problems but lived to be around 10 years old. I have never had such a close bond to any other animals, and i have had alot of pets. I have a bunny today that this year turns 11, i have had bunnies ever since 2005. Its gonna be so empty when she is gone.

[@laurenelizabeth1390]

Thank you for making this! I love my lop but so many don't realize the health issues they can have. We had a foster who ended up passing due to liver torsion which we found out after is common in lops.

They're about a month apart in age and very sweet natured. Especially Teddy, who rewards a nice pet session with kisses and kisses and more kisses. Both sometimes make some... bad decisions (I had to pluck Teddy outta my laundry box this morning, because he jumped in and couldn't get out anymore). But the are the cutest bunch of fluff ❤

First time owner after a lot of research, I adopted two female 8 week old holland lops a month ago from MSPCA....perfect for what I was hoping: (adopting, young, two for companionship to each other, the type of breed that will live a bit longer than larger breeds, and bonded being from the same litter.) Amazing how well bonded they are, eating, sleeping, bouncing around together! Was planning to keep them in a large enclosure while I was working, then letting them out when I returned. Had placed a few boxes instead of the cage panels because I was tired of tripping over it when feeding them, etc. and upon the 4th night, in the living room come two small white balls of fur, binkying, racing around, exploring a whole new world! Enclosure no longer, they free-roam even when I'm not home, since they're litter-trained for pee. I do have a foraging rug w/hay, their egg-carton puzzle, etc so they poop on their two rugs but so easy to sweep. When I sweep their main carpet at 5am! 😪, Binky and Trixie come hopping out, time for breakfast!

Someday I wanna be like you Lorelei. I wanna become a vet help bunnies. And maybe start my bunny youtube channel. I plan to foster bunnies in the near future. And yeah I have 2 holland lops. A 7 yr old one named Wyatt, and a baby one named Koko. Although I am 13 now, I had bunnies since I was 10. I do believe that responsible children, are capable of taking care of a rabbit with adult supervision. Sending hugs to Lennon!

[@TommyTom-kb8gr]

Great info on the lop . I had a lop and unfortunately he got a cold and died . At 1 yr . I loved him so much .

[@markkategreenway5387]

I rescued 2 bonded Holland lops and bonded them with my Vienna blue eyed white rescue. All are in good health so far and free roam 24/7 indoors in my kitchen diner. They are my children substitute now that I am older xxxxx

[@tuccifun.ftmitten888]

i have a holland lop named Mitten, she is a year and eight months old. She is my pride and joy, yet is a little more sassy then most other holland lops that I have met but never the less I love her with all my heart

[@Richie_Alpha_Rabbit69]

All 8 of my buns have pointy ears I rescued them from the same area they are all the same kind. Super cute and tough as nails. Half pint is the toughest alpha male he was wrapped in wire as a baby and as he grew bigger it got tighter and cut deeper into his body. He has a ring about 3/4” deep around his chest area and back. Looks like he’s cut in half fur doesn’t grow there . He was happy to be found by me and fixed up . Must have been so painful. He’s all fat and happy now though. A few of my buns have chucks missing from their ears from being street bunnies. I didn’t realize how tough rabbits are till I started looking after them.

I had a blackish grey lop named Bunkis. He had so much personality. Everyone that would come over to my apartment would always make a B-line straight for Bunkis. He passed away about ten years ago. I miss him so much.

[@Nae._.sz.n]

I have a polomino rabbit named coco she has such a sweet personality idk if it’s just my bunny or her breed

[@melishy30]

I adopted my Holland lop from our local vet (her technician runs a rescue). She had to have four teeth removed due to malocclusion, she needs monthly nail trims, and quarterly hygienic shaves. Some bun guardians/parents take their bun for a yearly exam, but I take my four buns every six months.

[@jocequestrian]

Could you do one of these with the cinnamon rabbit that’s what I recently adopted and would love to know what things to look out for 😊 Love your videos all of them are so helpful ❤

[@gingercaris1553]

Adorable buns!! Very informative and interesting. Just ❤ your videos Lorelei!! Thanks for all you do!! 👏🙏

[@damianspedzia5073]

I live bunnys 😊

[@AlminaTirak]

My holland lop passed away and I still have him as my profile picture after almost a year ❤

[@leahherrera7393]

I have 2 Holland lops that inherited from my daughter. They are seven year old neutered cousins. They live indoors but are not fully free range. They have a enclosed living area in my front room and come out for exercise when I’m home. I groom them every other day because one has very long fur that mats up under his chin and around his legs(underside) he also has some sort of dysplasia. I take them to the vet once a year for health checks and their RDH2 vaccination. They are a lot of work and expensive to take care of but I have fallen in love with them and are mine now. Thankfully I haven’t had any serious health issues arise. When I go on vacation they board at the Rabbit Rescue in Paramount.

[@Linyela]

I have a Holland Lop even tho I initially didn’t want a bunny with hanging ears, but when I saw my little man I fell in love right away. The day I took him home he flopped on his side and slept with his eyes closed. I never had a bunny be so comfortable right away.

[@vixsweat2611]

My holland lop died two days ago I miss her so much. I wish I could have her back. Her neck broke by the recliner. Every day I came home she would be there she would lick me sooo much I gave her treats. I only knew her for 2 months. The first week I got her she was so silly and happy and she was only 2 months old. She licked me so much. she had a partner bunny too now he is sad. and sniffing her sent on the floor. I honestly think no other bunnie will be nice like she was. I feel so sad but I know she is in a better place now. Her name was Penelope and she was orange. I’ll miss her cute little face. 😕🥺🐰

[@breannapatterson8833]

How did it break its neck?!

[@Bnuunypie]

I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢

[@diannayonkof9368]

I have a 6 month old Holland lop named Benji. He is a very playful tri color. He loves to be around what is going on.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeanleep3359]

I have a Holland lop named Tucker.he is free romed and sweet. Love your videos!

[@JMastro2010]

I used to have a Holland Lop that died due to GI Stasis. He was such a sweetheart and we were devastated when he died so I'm not sure if I would get another one knowing what I know now that they are more susceptible to gut issues. I now have 2 bunnies, one being a California White and one being an English Spot and they are so resilient and even though my California White is blind in both eyes and just had to have 1 removed and will need the other removed soon, she is the most resilient rabbit I know!

[@Jaclynannettecreationsandmore]

I have a Holland Lop, adopted him when he was 3yrs old. He is a sweet heart. He wasn't healthy when I got him, so lots of vet visits, wound care and surgeries. It wasn't his ears or teeth though. He had some wounds on his flank, that abcessed. I thought I was going to have to put him down, until I went to another vet. Turns out the first vet was doing everything wrong. He is my ❤

[@thepurestchild]

my holland lop got an ear infection and was showing tell signs of being in pain, but I'm glad he did otherwise we would have had no idea

[@amycarmona2496]

I have a mini lop his name is Koa but unfortunately he was abused in the past so since I adopted him a year ago he doesn’t really let me pet him much. Only sometimes but it’s rare. He’s a sweet guy but I try not to bother him he likes his space 😭❤️

[@Ispitonyourgrave]

I love my Holland lop gizmo. He is the sweetest! ❤

[@jillwatson5457]

I currently have 7 Holland lops. 3 I’ve had have passed, one being 14 when he passed! They are my babies and spoiled rotten! My brother is a hay farmer so they get different types of organic hay, and the best pellets and treats on the market! They are so sweet! I’d recommend them to anyone! I’ve rescued several of mine. They have also been so good for my autistic son (which is an adult now) as therapy pets. I’ve never known a pets love like a bunny! They’re high maintenance, but so worth it! Also I have a fuzzy lop and his smooth coat brother, which occurs once in awhile in Holland lop litters. He has beautiful white wool, but oinks like a pig 😂

[@matejjuric]

I have 8 years old holland lop with multiple dental problems. He has only 3 teeths and only pellets diet. Freeroamed with a lot of energy and love.

[@ahmaruko]

I have the fluffiest and sweetest holland lop, his name is Bungy, he's about a year or so old. He gives so many kisses, there have been times where he's just been giving kisses for a solid 30 minutes and I get worried if he should eat or drink water. He goes for a little bit, if I'm still in the same position, he comes back and gives more kisses. He always wants to stand by me whenever I let him out or stand up, he loves attention and pets.

[@mehhfubk]

My mini lop is very sick unfortunately. He had several ear infections during his life, and currently two abcesses which won't heal. And after many tries they came back everytime, so the veteran doc decided that we will let him live happily under pain medication as long as he feels good, but won't let him suffer with more operations that won't work for longer than a month. He is the cutest little boy on this earth❤ He loves to cuddle and clean each other. Getting his back rubbed while he cleans me is his favorite❤

[@johncena1154]

I am going through the same thing with mine :( So heart breaking to see them not having a happy healthy life. Is there an update on how your bun is doing?

[@luvrrscutt]

i had one black furred holland lop named moonlight, i watched so many videos on how give the bunny a good home by making it a large play area with a base attached lots of blankets toys and food + water. One day i burnt something in the kitchen by accident and the smoke got into the bunnies lungs (were assuming) she started getting really sick and she stopped eating, drinking, and playing. i held her one day she was really sick and was not wasting normally (not in ball shaped, or small) I held her for a few minutes and petted her until her head swung back and i couldnt feel her holding herself up anymore, it was until i checked her heartbeat when i realized she was gone, Rip moonlight, you will forever be missed, xoxo

[@siren8105]

I have a Holland Lop. His name is Arnoub and I rescued him during a freezing wind storm and he flopped onto his side and went to sleep next to me within 30 min of being home. He chose me as his mommy, and no one ever claimed him. We had just adopted two kittens and they are all growing up together and love each other. He’s so silly and he has full run of the house. He does flips and this funny shake of his head as he binky’s around the house. He loves his name, comes when I call him, kisses us lots, and we can’t express how in love we are with this little baby. Whoever abandoned him is the only one who lost in this deal. ❤

[@1082megs]

Yes, I do have a Holland Lop! She is a 1-year-old, Seal-colored lop named Alora. (meaning dream, because I had wanted a Holland Lop for 7 years) Thank you for the information, Lorelei and Lennon! 💜

[@keirynargueta3090]

I love your videos keep up the good work

[@karatowe9045]

I had a Holland Lop bunny for 10 yrs. He was great. I love bunnies and would love to have another Holland Lop. Bunnies make excellent companions 😊😊
