Our Other Breeds

Stocky and compact the Mini Lop was brought ​to the U.S. in the 1970s bearing the name Klein ​Widderand. After a slow start and a name ​change, the Mini Lop (presented by Herb Dyck), ​became an official ARBA breed in 1980. Easily ​recognized by the softball-sized head and ​engaging lopped ears, the Mini Lop only gains in ​popularity each year. – Maximum weight 6.5 lbs.

Believed to have been ​developed in the 19th century ​by crossing the English Lop with ​the Giant Pappillon, the ever ​popular French Lop made its ​appearance in the US in 1971. ​Though placid and relaxed in ​temperament, the French Lop ​is a massive, heavy boned ​rabbit with a strongly ​developed, wide and sturdy ​head. They are a beautiful and ​majestic breed, and make a ​stunning presence on the show ​table.– French Lops have no ​maximum weight.

With more ARBA Best in Show wins ​than any other breed, the New ​Zealand rabbit was a game changer ​for many breeders. Despite the ​name, the breed was originally ​developed in the United States and ​became recognized in 1916. New ​Zealands were prized for their quick ​growth rate and meat production, ​and while the Reds were initially more ​popular, the New Zealand White soon ​took over due to the easy of dyeing a ​white pelt for the fur market. – ​Maximum weight 12 lbs.

First shown publicly at the Paris International Rabbit Show in 1924, the Rex breed was ​recognized internationally as a breed to watch. Imported to the US in 1924 by John ​Fehr and Alfred Zimmerman. The popularity of the Rex is largely due to the mutation ​that produces a short, dense velvet-like quality to the fur. Today the Rex remains the ​number one breed used in fur production due to this unique coat quality. Today the ​“King of the Rabbits” can be shown in 16 color varieties that showcase that plush and ​unforgettable fur. – Maximum weight 10.5 lbs.

Giant Plush Lops

In 2017 we decided to take two of our favorite ​breeds- Rex and French Lops, and make a hybrid ​breed that would have the velvety soft, plush ​coat of a Rex with the big (10+ lbs), sturdy body ​and floppy ears of a French Lop. It has been a ​slow process because plush fur and lopped ears ​are two recessive traits that are hard to get into ​one rabbit! We also primarily focus on health and ​temperament in our lines, which has led to some ​very sweet, outgoing rabbits that demand all the ​attention!

Future Goals: We are continuing to work on type ​and adding more colors to our lines. Check out ​our Giant Plush Lops FaceBook Group for ​progress and updates.

Before You Adopt...

Housing

Extra Accessories

The biggest thing you will need for your pet ​rabbit is a safe place to live. There are a ​variety of options, including a regular rabbit ​cage, a diy C&C cage, an extra large dog ​crate, an x-pen, etc. A giant plush lop or ​other large rabbit needs at least 6 sq. feet of ​floor space. Smaller rabbits can do with less, ​but they all appreciate the most space they ​can get!

Chew Toys (Their teeth are always growing!)

Home-made toys (the sky is the limit!)

Wood Pellet (they make great litter and are easy to clean)

Food & Water

Your pet rabbit will need a high quality grain ​as their main diet. We use Blue Seal Show ​Hutch Deluxe, but there are other high ​quality 16-17% protein diets available. Your ​rabbit will also need unlimited fresh hay ​daily. You will need to supply clean water at ​all times in a water bottle or bowl. Your ​rabbit would also like some greens and fruits ​in small quantities. Healthy treats can also ​help with training and bonding.

Li​tter Box

Most rabbits are very easiliy ​litter box trained, which ​can allow you to give them ​more freedom.

How to Adopt From Us

We usually have rabbits available, email us to see if we have what you are ​looking for. We specialize in Giant Plush Lops, which we developed here on ​the farm, but we also have several other breeds including smaller plush ​lops, mini lops, French Lops, Rex, and New Zealands.

We also breed guinea pigs, pet mice, and African Pygmy mice.

We can arrange a time for you to meet our available babies, or we are happy to ​work with transports throughout the US. Our animals are not neutered, although ​we do generally sell under a pet contract. You will need to supply housing for ​them, although we are happy to recommend products we use here. All of our ​animals go home with a bag of transition feed so you can switch them over slowly ​to their new food.

Available Rabbits

We have lots of babies and adults available! ​Contact us for more info!
