Hi everyone another question about my beautifl Holland Lop Bunny I took her to the vet on Friday all checked out well. But over the weekend she just will flop down on her side and they there its no pacific side it could be her right or left. She lays there for a bit we pet her then she pops up and is fine?? Also so will sometime go into a trance an cower as if she is afraid she will stay like this for a few minutes we pet her and she comes out of it. Is this normal?? She has no ear infections and is perfectly healthly and extremmely spoiled. We now have dedicated the whole hallway to her so she has a whole room just for her and she loves to be held and loves to give kisses!!!! We love her so much she really is part of the family!!! :) But I just get nervous over these 2 questions. It started after she went to the Doctor?? Thank YOU Marie

I have read that this is normal. I don't know for sure that it is but I have read it in several articles. The reason I remember so clearly is that it struck me as being quite odd. It is said they just fall over. I have seen fainting goats do this but never a bunny so I don't know. The freeze frame is normal. They hear or see something and just freeze and I think that is just instinct.

Thank U Charlie we were getting nervous. I was going to call the vet but I figured I would ask all of u since u are the perfessionals at this. Have a Great Weekend!!!

I have always heard that this is a good thing and that it means they are comfortable with their surroundings and the people around them. I havent heard of the trance thing but the flopping over is very normal!

My lop does the flop thing all the time. He stretches out on his side and chills. Sometimes though it does look rather scarey and I always make sure he is breathing! He is so much fun! His name is Jingle Bell.

Hi Marie, I wouldn't worry at all about your bunny especially if the vet say's she's healthy and she's in very good health, the vet would tell you there's something wrong with her if there was. I have a holland flop bunny and once and a while for no reason at all he flops on his side too. It just means their feeling relaxed, and that's a comfortable postion for a bunny. he to switches sides. So don't worry. If you are still worried call your vet.

Hi. I want a himalayan as a pet and was just wondering if they have to eat anything different from lops or mini rex's (I have both).

Nope, you wouldn't have to change the diet from the other two you have. Have fun.

Rabbits may seem to poop a lot, but as long as they're round and hard, he should be fine

There are many breeds of lops and there are croos breeds so it can be very difficult to tell which one you have. Here are a bunch of photos of various lop breeds with a designation as to which breed on many of the photos. For some reason I couldn't put the link (sorry) in here but go to Bing.com and enter Lop Images and you will come up with a whole bunch of lop images.

I will be getting a rabbit in the fall and want to be prepared. What do I need to do to make it feel at home?

Get the safe housing and area set up before you bring your bunny home. Have the litter by the safe housing (some say cage) or inside the fenced area. Make sure he has a little bed area and I'd place a t-shirt (something old you have worn but not washed) inside his little bed so he has your scent to sleep with. Let him get used to you - just sit down on the floor and let him come to you - it might take a day or so but he will come to you. Be real gentle when you pick him up, making sure you have your arm under his entire body so he doesn't feel like he will fall and then place him in your lap. Have food and water availble. Let him accilmate to his new environment with all the new (and scary to him) sounds and smells. Go slow. I would read articles on bunny care and talk to the breeder. The more you know the easier it will be for your bunny and you.
