I had a Peanut that was half size his whole life but he lived over a year. Least intelligent rabbit I ever had but he loved to be cuddled

[@finallythere100]

Did he seem to suffer? (I know it's hard to tell, but still interested in your take. Thanks.)

[@ZanderFoster]

@@finallythere100 honestly I don’t think he suffered much day to day. He lived w a chronic eye condition, and I administered eye drops 2 times daily his whole life. He got used to that. My other rabbits knew he was different, but I don’t think he knew. I only managed to teach him a couple tricks, unlike my other buns, but he was very very sweet and eager to please. I had to give him baths, which he didn’t mind much, and he enjoyed going outside every day. I think his quality of life was so great because he had high spirits. He was such a happy little guy. He was a lilac.

[@Aisha-721]

How big did he get?

[@ZanderFoster]

@@Aisha-721 i think around 3 lbs, he should have been 6 give or take a half lbs.

[@uftc1324]

True peanuts will not live past a few weeks old because their digestive systems and other organs are not developed correctly. He was most likely just a very small dwarf and not a true peanut (which is not uncommon in dwarf breeds)

[@michelecaville4597]

I have very limited knowledge of raising rabbits, but I can see your rabbits are well cared-for and happy, especially since momma lets you reach in and hold her babies!

[@kristasz]

For everyone commenting about the wire bottom; even though it isn’t optimal because it can cause sore hawks, Hollands tend to have lots of fur and it also tends to be quite thick. Therefore it won’t hurt them as much as it would hurt other breeds of rabbit. And before you start hating on me I just want to address that Holly most likely knows about the side effects of wire bottomed cages and probably tries her best to prevent it. By the way I do not support this type of rabbit cage, I just wanted to show that it may not be as bad as it seems and not to jump to conclusions too quickly. 👍🏻🙂

[@thelittlespoons9491]

it's kr0sta plus girl used the good type of wire. NOT the thing, square shaped wire that WILL hurt their feet. My bunnies always had wood or straw on part to rest on, or the plastic special made ones to rest on. She does have hay down there for her, and I’m sure she lays on that.

@@verskii4221 I know. But for how long, and what do they do when they aren't out. Those bunnies have no stimulation at all. Imagine the boredom of being kept in a small cage for hours upon hours.

[@Nancy-cz8dg]

I highly recommend putting a mat in the cage for your adult bunny specially when they are pregnant they are on all 4's 24hr everyday on wired cage can cause sorehocks that can lead to infection then gets into the bones...etc. btw those cages are extremely small they need more room to run around to get stronger bones. Studies show bunnies kept in cages compared to free roaming rabbit is more likely to have brittle bones an easily break bones do to lack of exercise.

[@GlitchScatter]

I don't understand how people can have those horrible foot shredders for rabbit cages. Poor buns.

[@emper1on]

GlitchScatter its the right size for Holland rabbits

[@GlitchScatter]

The right size for any rabbit is a room to free roam and a large dog cage filled with toys, blankets, food/water. The more space a bun has, the happier they are. I would never think of leaving them in those horrible cages, even for a moment. They are part of the family, you wouldn't stick your child in one of those, would you? I'll take the extra cleaning of a litterbox over that.

[@danielas7825]

"It's the right size for Holland rabbits, sincerely yours some random human who decides what's the right size to stuff a rabbit into" Please. You can't just stuff a living being in a box and make such statements, because no box is good enough for any living being, especially not if it's permanently crammed into it.

[@dlidjd9145]

In Germany it's forbidden to breed two rabbits when they both have the dwarf gene, because they will get peanut babies. It's sad that this is not the case in your country. You have some responsibility for your animals. Please excuse my english. I'm happy for the healthy babies, but it's sad you keep on breeding with parents who give birth to peanut babies. It's a hurtful way to die for them.

[@niamhlysaght2112]

So adorable! When they are ready to go to a new home, do u sell them to homes or keep only some of them? Great video btw!! Xxx

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Niamh Lysaught I do sell some of them, but they go to approved homes only. I don't breed my rabbits for money, so I always make sure that the owner and the rabbit fit each other perfectly.

[@alexistaylor2122]

Wire cages are so bad for their feet :(

[@thecavyqueen3994]

Holland Lops have thick fur in their feet so it won't hurt them. Also she had hay on the bottom of the cage,

[@mermaidathena7836]

It it still not recommended to keep a rabbit in a wire cage. They will be be much happier and healthier if you keep them in a solid bottom cage. Hay does not serve the purpose of protecting the claws on rabbits feet, nor does it entirely prevent the wire from rubbing on hocks. Not only that, but wire cages are known to catch feet and paws and cripple rabbits. All around a bad choice for rabbits. Not only that, but rabbits should be given a cage large enough to roam around in, not just turn in circles like shown in the video. I really hope these unethical cages are only for the time in which the mother and kits are needing to be separated for the purpose of rearing the young and nothing else.

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Mermaid Athena all my rabbits use wire cages and hey have never been harmed. My rabbits get out of their cages almost daily when I can, to play on the grass in super large pens. They are healthy and happy and super active.

[@mermaidathena7836]

And I'm not saying you don't care for your rabbits. You're a rabbitry, so I can understand the use of the cages. I am happy to know they are allowed to run around as well. I just worry when I see the cages as I've been to too many shows where rabbits have been injured thanks to this type of cage.

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Mermaid Athena yeah injury is possible but I do my best to make sure that doesn't happen. I love my rabbits as pets not just as show and breeding stock, so I genuinely care for their welfare. I know some breeders at shows that carry their rabbits by the scruff and only care if the rabbit wins shows and produces lots of babies. Then they kill any that can't be shown instead of selling pets. That's sad and in my opinion, a poor way to raise rabbits.

[@wirinaholstein4076]

Im sorry to throw this card but Im a vet by profession, and although this is obviously not happening out in the real world with any possibility to do anything about it, Im going to address this anyway; You should NOT just let the peanut baby die a horrible natural death of starvation, thirst and organ shut down. You should euthanize it. And no, its not just "nature" - its the direct result of narrow breeding tactics to breed dwarf breeds even smaller, more breed specific and defined. Expand the gene pool and stop double-breeding first degree dwarfs. Its a matter of responsible and knowledgeable breeding ethics.

[@wirinaholstein4076]

Also, where I live, its illegal to have bunnies (or any animal at all) living in cages where they walk on metal wire. That is simply not good enough. They need a bottom that is solid and where there is sufficient and good enough quality bedding to make them thrive and have a good living habitat. Your bunnies can't tell you in words that they don't like sitting on metal wire and would have a better life with a plastic/wooden/alu/other suited bottom and plenty of good bedding. But that is your job as an owner to know.

[@wirinaholstein4076]

This is the kind of cage environment that will make bunnies pull hair out of each others fur, sit in a corner and just look dead, reject babies etc. Had you been a client of mine, I would have reported you as a "bunny mill" owner and written it as neglect and irresponsibility. I don't know the laws in the US but it seems this kind of behavior is legal for you which is just so wrong.

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+wirina holstein I have had rabbits for many years and I used to raise them in hutches and I've also raised rabbits in solid bottomed cages, and they prefer the wire. When you observe your rabbits and they spend more time on the wire and relax more often in the wire than the wood, you can see they prefer it. And, I rarely get peanuts. I do try as often as possible to breed rabbits that don't carry the dwarf gene. My rabbits don't reject their babies, sit in a corner and look dead, or pull out each other's fur (or their own unless nesting). My rabbits are happy and healthy, and I know this because I have done my research and I know what I'm doing. I know what a calm, relaxed, content and happy rabbit looks like. I know what a stressed, uncomfortable, and scared rabbit looks like. It's obvious my rabbits are not neglected, neglect is them being sick or sitting in piles of poop without being properly cared for. They are loved and spoiled and they know it.

[@kathryncastanares525]

@@HollysHollandsRabbitry I do get it. And I am a but frustrated with all these comments of the "wire cages"etc from these bunny gurus. My grandmother s rabbit husbandry and had hers in wire cages as well, and had them up off the ground to keep the darn coyotes from them. However, she did put boards to one side of the cage where they could go to get off the wire and most would be spending their time on the boarded side. She also had very spacious cages and only kept multiple together when it was mom and babies and everyday she had one of us grandchildren, or a hired worker that would come and take the bunnies out to "free roam" and get some exercise for a few hours a day during warmer days as I don't think they should be kept inside a cage 24-7. But your bunnies do look healthy and seem to be content with their lives. The one big thing I do agree on is getting the peanut euthanized is a much humane way to go. When ever my grandmother had a peanut (maybe 4 times my entire life. 26y) the travel vet would come out to euthanize the peanut (or possibly take to do so. Not sure as we would be told to stay inside so we wouldn't cry). Anyways, as the vet above stated, my grandmothers vet said the same. It is not just nature at this point, and is directly related to humans breeding and being aware of the possibilities, gives the human the responsibility to take care of the out come in a humane manner as it is not fair that they had to be born to just be left to die soon after. I do notice that your mama sniffed and licked her little peanut baby, so it seems she still cared for it as normal. Melted my heart. I am a new sub, and really enjoy your videos. Really brings back wonderful memories of growing up around animals and reminds me of how much love goes into caring for them. I truly hope you don't see my comment as all the others as they were in a finger pointing self righteous manner and offered no help or advice and only shame. I truly just wanted to offer my insight and experience, with sincere intentions. I don't look down on you or anyone else for that matter, and of all people. I know very well that there are more than one way to "love a rabbit". Lol (idk if that pun made sense to anyone, but there is a more morbid saying the people usually say, but my grandmother always said "love" instead. And yes, I know the difference between bunnies and rabbits.) Anyhoo. Hope you see my sincerity and hope to see more videos. Tfs!

I'm curious. Would it be more beneficial to feed a false dwarf doe so you wouldn't get peanuts, or would that result in a higher chance of false dwarfs?

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

It's a higher change of false, but they can also produce true dwarfs if bred to a true dwarf.

[@Ghost.rit-]

I have some questions for you :p How many baby's does a dwarf lop get in a litter? Is it normal that if a brother and sister mate the female will abandon her baby's? (This happens to us where they mated by accident) And is it normal that the mamma steps on them? Or like pushes the hay around in the nesting box?? (She did that)

A question, will the peanut always die? Even if they are given special treatment? On another channel I was lead to believe the peanut can survive if bottle feed around the clock. Is this true? Should the peanut survive will it live a normal life compared to the other batch of brothers and sister rabbits.

Hello! Can't you bottle feed the peanut?

[@candlemecrazy]

I don't know a thing about rabbits, I just came here to look at the babies. I do know that you can buy vinyl covered wire different widths and 500 ft. long for $20.00 at Amazon. I have no idea if it's an option for cages but I thought I would mention it. Now about the peanuts. Do they have so many problems that being able to live is impossible? Would it be better to put them to sleep instead of letting them starve to death? If you were to take them inside and hand rear them would they still die? I have always been a sucker for the runt or smallest of the litter (all animals) and I understand that a runt and a peanut are different things but I do hate the thought of them dying.

[@FlamepeltofThunder]

Peanuts are born with underdeveloped gastrointestinal systems so even if you were to hand feed them they would still die.

Peanut is so cute

[@kathyxpets4476]

What happen if we have a different kind of rabbit. Do we have a baby peanut?

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+kathyx pets peanuts only occur in dwarf breed rabbits, so Holland Lops, Netherland Dwarf, Mini Rex, and possibly Brittainia Petite. All other breeds don't have peanuts.

[@juliashenandoah3965]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw nothing is as cute as baby bunnys - nothing :)

[@saigegriffin7709]

Okay thanks

[@Gabby-ej6fn]

awww baby peanut💔

[@jasper777777]

You can avoid this by breeding a doe without the dwarf gene- which means its a bigger rabbit- then you don't get peanuts in the litter.

[@ellamealey2658]

Hey I recommend you put some cardboard or some fleece blanks on the wire to prevent anything bad not trying to hate just some tips and it's super good and doesn't cost much at all. This is just tips not hate ok

[@grizzlychan4134]

[@FlamepeltofThunder]

Teresa Vortex no it doesn't

[@tamaragames9887]

[@mollygilmartin1771]

SHE LET LIL PEANUT TUMBLE OH NO

[@animalfamilygirlvlogs5967]

She was washing them awww

[@ayeshaalesi9085]

like the runt

[@mermaidathena7836]

Would it be worth it to try and hand feed/hand care for a peanut?

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Mermaid Athena no. Rabbit milk is the best milk for baby bunnies, there's no way they'd respond better to anything else.

[@mermaidathena7836]

There have been cases of bunnies being hand raised though. I was just wondering.

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Mermaid Athena yes, normal bunnies can be hand raised wih the right milk but sadly peanuts can't be because they don't digest food 😢

[@mermaidathena7836]

Ah. OK. That makes more sense. Sad..

[@mylifeasgrace960]

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Mylifeasgrace yes

[@natalieiampieri1184]

Where do you get them

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Natalie Iampieri where do I get the rabbits?Most of them were born here.

[@Sarione]

My only problem here is that it seems to be the equivalent of a puppy mill. I was rather disturbed about the fact that you said you were going to keep the female for either show or for breeding. The cages seems really small. I had a mini lop and I can tell you that small enclosures did not go over well with her. Needless to say she had the run of the house until bedtime. I really think someone needs to call and this place investigated and make sure it's up to standards. She does seem to care about the rabbits but I think she has way to many there for her to properly care for from what I saw.

[@HollysHollandsRabbitry]

+Sarione if you want to talk about having too many to care for, go hound friends of mine that have 50+. I keep my herd small (never over 20 including newborns) because I don't want it to become like a chore or not have enough time to give them all the care they deserve. You obviously haven't done very much research on how rabbits are kept. Most of my cages are actually bigger than the standard. The standard, required by law, is 24x24. The majority of my cages are 32x32, and soon I plan on having no cages smaller than this. I have many friends that have cages that are 18x24 and their rabbits are totally fine and very healthy and happy. Some Rabbits prefer smaller enclosures. What disturbed you about my comment about keeping one for show or breeding?

[@Sarione]

As I said I've owned rabbits I know how they are and how to keep them. It disturbs me because it gives the appearance of being more concerned about her having litters then a happy home. From your videos here I feel like you have too many to handle even at 20 if you keep them like that. I hope someone does make that call because that looks like the equivalent of a puppy mill. If you don't want to give off that appearance then stop making videos and posting them because that is exactly what it looks like. Don't assume I don't know or have done any research when I've had rabbits in the past and learned first how to care for them BEFORE I purchased one.

[@roseanne74]

Wow what a grouch. I'm pretty positive Holly knows what she's about. None of her rabbits are sick, cold, abused or anything else. Get a grip.

[@CaptKPinksies]

Of course she wouldn't show the sick, cold, abused or "anything else" ones--she would lose views. You never ever ever keep ANY kind of animal in a wire-bottom cage. What are wire-bottom cages for? Easy cleaning. If you can't clean an animal's habitat the proper way without a wire-bottom cage, don't have animals. A quick search on Google will show that she does rabbit shows and she breeds. Don't know why anyone needs to breed or do animal shows anymore when there are hundreds of thousands of animals in need of adoption.

Me: its a double dwarf bunny :3 am I right?

[@fluffycuteballs]

Not so fun fact: Peanut is Anya's fave snack. I love all of your bunnies.

[@mange2696]

Look at all of those shitty comments. I'm sure this breeder knows what they're doing. The cage isn't to small. She's said she takes them out a lot and that the wires don't hurt the bunnies feet. Before you fucking judge a breeder go and research before you attempt to scold them. It seems she knows what she's doing so stop people.
