Frequently Asked Questions:
Here are some commonly asked questions. If your question is not listed please let me know and I would happy to answer any questions you may have.
Recommended Bunny Supplies:
1. A Hutch- Critter nation 2 level metal hutch is what i currently use ( the wood hutches are often cheap and do not last long
OR
A EXTRA LARGE rabbit cage to get you started as the baby bunny is still being trained, but should only be used as a litter box when the bunny reaches 6 months of age.
2. A play yard or fenced area for exercise time. Some bunnies do jump, so I have used a fitted sheet over the play area to prevent escape artists.
3. Water bottle or bowls. There are so many different types. I use a variety for my bunnies. I like large ceramic bowls so that the bunny can not move the bowl. Or bowls that attach to the fencing of the hutch. I also like small anti gravity bowls that are used for cats. I am not a fan of bottles as they tend to leak and can possibly leave a bunny dehydrated.
4. Hay and Pellets- We currently use timothy hay orchard grass hay that we get in bulk at Shoppers supply in Chandler. We store the hay bale in a very large tote bin. We currently use a bunny pellet called Kruse perfection and purchase it at shoppers as well. Rabbit safe veggies and fruits can be given as treats. Here is a link to some great information regarding how much you should feed your bunny.

5. Litter box- we like large litter boxes for when the bunny gets bigger, but will include a small litter box to get you started with some litter box supplies. We use 2 items for our litter box. Pine pellets that are heat treated. Then we sprinkle some hay on top and put a good handful or 2 of hay in one corner. Bunnies tend to poop/ pee where they eat. We get all of these supplies from Shoppers Supply in Chandler. We also now use a litter box that has a mesh screen to help keep the bunnies cleaner and make it easy to dump out the hay and poop and reuse for a few days before cleaning out completely.
6. Toys & Other supplies: We like testing out different toys and beds and have found that the bunnies like chewing on rabbit safe woods, timothy grass huts and mats, Toilet paper with hay in it, Little toddler stacking cups, plastic baby keys, cardboard, or cardboard boxes (you can get from costco for free just be careful and only get boxes that food was in and not chemicals as the chemicals can leach into the box) and all natural chewing toys. We refrain from toys that have chemical dyes in them. Also be careful of beds that have to much stuffing as they can accidentally be ingested which can be fatal. We like small cat beds from petco. They are $10.
Feel free to check out lots of YOUTUBE videos for other helpful advice. We suggest following Lennon the bunny.
Q. How much do you charge for your Holland lops? A. I currently charge $200-300 for Pet Quality. These bunnies are not pedigreed (papered) and are not showable. Some of our parents do have pedigrees and if you want to see them prior to purchasing we would be happy to show you.
We only sell healthy, friendly and well socialized bunnies. They are used to loud noises, children, and small dogs. Not all bunnies LOVE to be held because they are prey species, but most of our bunnies will tolerate it. We allow you to meet your bun prior to purchasing. During the meet-and-greet we will answer any questions, teach you how to pet and handle your bunny, and allow you to pet, and feed the bunnies some treats. We highly recommend meeting your bunny prior to purchasing!
**Our bunnies may be more expensive than most breeders, but they are well worth the cost, as we take pride in making sure each and everyone loves their bunny that they receive from us. We are available to answer any questions, before or after you purchase a bun, provide tips and tricks on our Instagram, and provide our buns plenty of high quality food, treats, herbs, pet beds, litter boxes, etc. before they go home to their new family! We also work on potty training our buns before they go to their new homes. This takes time, money, and our energy and with that the cost of our bunnies tend to be higher than other breeders. We also do not sell our bunnies any younger than 8 weeks as this is state law and safest for the bunnies health **
Vienna Marked BlueEyed and White Ear buns range from $300-$500
(These buns are still not showable)
