Diet.

Unlimited fresh Timothy hay or orchard grass. Alfalfa hay is best for juniors under 6 months. 1/8th-1/4th cup of pellets per day. Unlimited pellets for nursing does or kits under 6 months. 80%-90% of a rabbits diet should be hay/grass, 5%-10% veggies, 5%-10% Pellets, 5% healthy treats.

Grooming.

Brushing your rabbits once a week is important to prevent your rabbit from ingesting its own fur. Rabbits can molt once or twice a year during season changes. Brushing them during this time is very important to help them shed their coats and prevent ingesting of their own fur which will accumulate in their stomachs and create a fatal wool block.

Spaying/Neutering.

Hormones begin to kick in from 3-8 months. Hollands can sexually mature at 4-6 months. Your snuggly little bunny will become moody! Spaying and neutering your rabbit can help calm hormones/temperaments, prevent accidental liters/cancer.

Bonding.

Do bunnies get lonely?

Rabbits are social animals and love interaction. Using separate pens or dog crates is the best way to start. When starting to introduce your rabbits together, start in a mutual unmarked area.

Cages/Setups.

Holland lops need enough space to stretch, stand up, run, lay down, fully sprawl out, and hop daily! Many bunnies are forgotten about and left in cages their whole lives. Leaving a bunny without free roam can cause them to become stinky, depressed, obese, create sore hocks, or cause poor health and shorten lifespan.

Stimulation.

Bunnies need stimulation otherwise they get depressed and destructive! They’re natural foragers and often food motivated. You can stimulate your bunny by letting them search for their food, giving them toys to play and plenty of free roam time.
