I recently got my first pair of English Lops (I've been raising Mini Lops). The doe is 6 months and the buck 10. Would those who have raised this breed agree with things I've read that a good age to wait to breed an E Lop doe is 9 months? or is it more based on weight? Thanks!

Thank you for the kind comments! I am really enjoying them. It's funny now how my Mini Lops seem small after handling the English Lops. The doe is definitely more outgoing and curious. She already sticks her head out the cage door when being fed and won't put it back in because she wants...

Happy to have our first pair of English Lops! We've been raising Mini Lops for a couple years (still are) and now have ventured into English Lops also. I'm enjoying getting acquainted with these two.

I came across this post and thought I'd add what I changed with my Mini Lop doe and saw a very big change. I added a little apple cider vinegar to her water each day, gave her 1 TB of a combination of oats and black oil sunflower seeds (ratio 3:1) in the evening (she still got her normal Kent...

Good to know! Thanks! :)

A couple of pictures out of our current litter of 6 Mini Lops. Anticipating another litter or two in the next week or so. __________ Wed Nov 02, 2016 12:18 pm __________ A litter of 4 Mini Lops arrived early Saturday morning. Here are a couple from the litter at 4 days old. :)

Dood - I wanted to let you know the outcome since you were so kind to share your thoughts on color. There are two black and these two. How early can one tell whether orange or tort? Thanks again!

We shall see in a couple days! I was hoping for the possibility of fawn or tort. That would be nice.

Thank you Dood... so no chance for fawn? :(

I've never bred this pair of Mini Lops before and I'm curious what color possibilities I'm looking at. Dame is black (her Mom Chestnut Agouti, her Dad Steel - Black, g tipped) Sire is fawn (his Mom Black, his Dad Chestnut Agouti) Thank you much!

I don't know if this will happen but I've considered the idea of raising another breed besides Mini Lops. I'd love to know what main differences people have found between raising Lionheads vs Netherland Dwarf rabbits. I'd like to know any observations, such as: differences in temperament...

We have a new friend in our rabbitry. We got this sweet girl this past weekend. She was a malnourished stray that a sweet lady had taken in, loved on, gave vet care to, and was simply wanting to find a good home for her. We are glad to have Lucy! She was not sure what to think of the...

Just wanted to say I appreciated these posts. I usually don't have issues with yellow feet with my rabbits. However, one of my daughters had put a wood resting spot in the cage for them and apparently they were all hanging out there going potty. The damage was done before I realized the...
