   A: Make sure to read my basic care guide!  A:They are full of character! I love the way the breed looks, no matter if they are a true or utrue dwarf. They are the smallest breed of rabbit, and very intellegent. I chose them mainly because I knew they were the most challenging of the breeds to breed because of their size, and working as hard as I do makes the reward so much greater than if this breed wasn't as difficult.  A:A true dwarf rabbit stays very small. Their ears and feet are dainty. They have large eyes, and a rounded head and body. A untrue dwarf has slightly longer ears and feet, a longer face and body, and are slightly larger overall. They look more like a standard rabbit, but are still very small for a rabbit.  A:I am currently selling my rabbits for $50 each. The price reflects how much time and love I put into each bun before they make it into your family. The price also helps me pay for the feed, hay, veternary visits, supplies and extras so I can keep doing what I love. I think the price is very fair for the time that is spent with each rabbit, my Netherlands are very friendly and sweet and make perfect pets! Petstores sell sick and mean rabbits from anywhere between $60 and $90, my rabbits are privately bred and cared for, making sure you are not supporting any milling and mistreatment of animals that is very common within petstores, and often in irresponsible breeders. The $50 I ask is completely worth recieving a quality well-tempered pet that was raised in a healthy and pleasant enviroment.  A:Yes they can. I have no personal experience on litter box training, but there are many websites out there that can teach you how. From what I have heard, just place a litter pan with shavings in the bottom in the areas your rabbit likes to leave their droppings. Rabbits tend to poop in a corner. Placing hay for the rabbit to eat helps to keep them using their box, and rabbits poop a lot when eating.  A:I wean my bunnies between 6 and 9 weeks of age. Technically you can wean them at three to four weeks, but I keep the babies with their mother longer. I believe it is benificial to keep the kits with their mother longer because they become more well-adjusted and they are healthier by drinking mother's milk longer. Some of my bunnies have teeth that I need to fix before rehoming. With dwarf breeds, often the bottom teeth will overlap the top, causing the teeth to not wear properly. I have had a lot of sucess in trimming the teeth and getting them to correct themselves, and this usually takes an extra month.  A:No, never! I think shipping a live animal is not only cruel, but very expensive if it is done humanely. If you really are interested, you could always commute down to my area to purchase one. My rule is you have to come to the rabbit if the rabbit won't come to you.  A:I have noticed that males have more energy than females and tend to be more outgoing and friendly. Females are more timid and can be territorial, but tend to be more mellow. I think both sexes are great, it really depends on the induvidual rabbit and the induvidual owner's preference.  A: No they do not. Do take your rabbit to the veternarian immediately if they display any unusual behavior.  A: Haha, nope. I do know a lot about breeding and the genetics of my rabbits and how to care for them. I love animals but it would be very difficult for me to see animals in pain every day even though I knew I was helping them. I am more interested in painting, drawing and illustration. I am currently going to school with a studio art major and a business administration minor in mind. (people ask me this all the time believe it or not) |
