How to Buy a Dwarf Rabbit

If you have your heart set on a beautiful little dwarf rabbit, there are many ways to go about obtaining one. You may wish to buy one from a breeder or even adopt one from a local shelter.

You will not only be getting a new companion for you and/or your child you will be saving a life too. Either way, before you go about how to buy a dwarf rabbit you need to think about the right breed for you.

There is the unique and tiny Hotot Dwarf rabbit, known for its sweet, good nature and fondness for play and curiosity. Also there is the oldest species of dwarf rabbit, called the Netherland Dwarf. They are known for the babyish appearance but tend to do better with adults or older children as they can be skittish and timid. There is also the hugely popular Mini Rex, though not a true dwarf breed, they are small and known for their very friendly personality, just like their bigger cousins.

Another breed is the Mini Lop, these adorable bunnies are a cross breed of the French Lop, the original lop eared bunny, and the Mini Rex. They have a personality somewhere in between the two breeds, making them a great and laid back pet for both old and young. Though as with all dwarfs, being even more fragile than their larger relatives you need to make sure young children play gently and do not treat them as a toy.

Never breed dwarf rabbits unless you know what you are doing, the very genetic reason they dwarf rabbits can cause a number of baby bunnies to be born only to suffer and die. A better idea if you really feel you have to breed the type, is to go with a Mini breed versus a dwarf or breed your dwarf with a larger rabbit, which will give you only some dwarf rabbits but all will be healthy. Who wants to see little helpless baby rabbits die? This could be very detrimental especially for children.

Most species of rabbits whether full sized or dwarfs can be house trained to use a litter box or go outside and make great indoor pets. In fact they tend to bond easily with their people and can be taught to peacefully co-exist with gentle cats, dogs and other animals though in particular with larger dogs, they should never left unsupervised to wander around with them.

After you have chosen your perfect breed all that is left is to find that perfect breeder or call around to shelters to find ones. Ask friends or search online for local breeders that can provide you with information on taking care of this breed and allow you to visit their rabbit breeding haven.
