If you love the idea of adding a pet to your family and you don't want a dog or a cat you may want to consider getting a rabbit. Bunnies come in all shapes and their sizes can range from very small to extremely large.

If you have never owned a bunny before you may be amazed once you start seeing their natural personalities begin to emerge. Some may be quite reserved but others will be energetic, playful and loving. You may also be amazed at the fact that they can be toilet trained so that they are much neater to be around if you do let them out of their pen during the day.

Holland lops are quite small and are actually one of the smallest breeds of bunny around. Their normal top weight is about three and a half pounds for a purebred bunny. Some lops end up getting crossed with other breeds and their offspring can end up being larger than expected. Their fur is soft and fluffy but it is not as long as the fur that some rabbits have.

If you want your rabbit to settle in you might want to think about having some food and good quality treats on hand. Fruits and many vegetables are great to feed to your rabbit. Pellets are a great source of vitamins and hay will give your bunny the fiber it needs to ensure that it's digestive tract is working well.

Many people try to keep their bunnies in smaller pens but this is not always a good idea. A rabbit will be much happier if it has room to roam around and explore.

However, it is important to have an enclosed area where your bunny can stay when you are not home. That way they cannot chew things or get into toxic substances or dangerous situations.

There are many places that you can find happy, healthy rabbits to keep as pets. Breeders will often have young ones available but this is not the only place you can find them.

Once a rabbit has grown to love and trust you it may follow you, try and climb up in your lap or do race around your home at great speed as a way of burning off energy. Before long, you will wonder how you ever lived without a bunny in your life.
