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.

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.

Besides taking it to the vet to get teeth shortened, Is it going to need shots or any other vet treatments?

There are two shots that are required for bunnies - just one time initial shots. Myxomatosis and Viral Hemorrhagic Disease (VHD) are the two shots that are required. You will most likely want to spay or neuter your bunny as well because it just makes for a better pet. I haven't heard (and I didn't do it) ever take bunnies to the vet to have their teeth shortened. I think if they have appropriate toys to chew on and actual chew toys - possibly they file them down themselves.

I'm thinking about getting a holland lop bunny. Any suggestions? On gender and such. I've never had a bunny before but have always wanted one, and now that I live with in my own house I really want one.

My mom had a rabbit when she was young make sure that the rabbit you want will be part of the family

The lops are just about as great and gentle a pet as you can have. If it is going to be a pet, please spay or neutered as that way the male won't spray and the female won't be territorial. Just better pets.

I love my dwarf hotot bunny, every time I come home from work she's up front paws on the top of the cage waiting for me to come pet her :) it didn't take her long either to learn her name either :) She's very hyper though, she doesn't like to be held either, shes more of a free goer :)

Rather than PICK him/her up, sit down on the floor with a towel in your lap. The towell provides a smoothe surface and just in case the bunny goes potty. So sit on the floor with the towel in your lap and bring the bunny toward you and let her be in your lap. A nice little treat would help also. The bunny is scared right now and will get used to you.
