My addiction to bunnies began at age 7 when I acquired my first bunny from a neighbor who told me the litter was "FREE" to a good home. How could I resist such a bargain?? Well, soon after, I had my mom convinced that my solitary little bunny needed a friend...soooooo.... as I'm sure you may already have guessed....the rest became history!! The years that followed made me fully aware of the fact that I had become one of the many "bunny victims" destined to never again be "FREE" of these warm, gentle and adorable creatures who can steal your heart away with just one look! There is something about those long droopy ears and the round, flat puppy dog face of a Holland Lop which makes them irresistible. As I watch my hollands run around the house or in their cage, with their ears flopping up and down, I can't help being amused by their antics. I have even experienced several occasions where people mistook hollands for puppies because of their unusual ear carriage! On one such occasion, I had black and white baby hollands with me in a box when I went to pick up my daughter at the mall movie theater. As children and adults walked out from the theater, (coincidentally, after watching 101 Dalmations!), everyone looked into the box of bunnies and made comments about what cute Dalmation puppies I had! Holland Lops are sweet, charming, affectionate and small enough for a child to handle, even after the bunny becomes an adult. Unlike other pets that can disturb your neighbors, rabbits very rarely utter a sound, unless they are in a life threatening situation or in extreme pain. One of the traits I enjoy the most about my Holland Lops is their inquisitive and curious nature. They seem to have a genuine interest in their owners and will bond quite easily with them if treated gently. Some of my bunnies actually recognize my voice when I talk to them, while I've watched the same bunnies shy away from strangers. I selectively breed for quiet, gentle temperaments, and it is this type of personality that will flourish with attention, causing the true characteristics of the Holland Lop to emerge. Your bunny will never cease to amaze you with its curiousity, astound you with its playfullness and warm you with its innocence and heart felt joy for life!! ****************************** Thank You to the many customers I continue to enjoy over the years, for being such an inspiration in helping me to define the key areas I have covered in my website, and most of all, for for providing wonderful homes for my bunnies!!! Hopefully whether you are a novice or accomplished rabbit owner or breeder, you will find my information helpful. |
