My sister and I got two Dutch rabbits when I was 16 and she was 11. They are now about 5 years old and are the nicest pet bunnies I have ever seen! We have a male named Rebel and a female named Misty (brother and sister) and they get along wonderfully. We got them neutered and spayed, of course. I used to work at a daycare and I would frequently take the rabbits there and let the little kids pet and hold them--they behaved so well! They are both house trained and are basically like cats. They will fully stretch out on their backs and let us pet their tummies (sometimes they fall asleep!) I would highly reccomend a dutch rabbit to anyone with children.

Hi i have a really cute dutch dwarf rabbit. he is black and white. he is about 1 year old. i called him coco but me and my sister call him baby bob. he has a big play area next to his hutch. he loves digging in plants and eating cabbage and carrots. he is really lively and he is great with small children. everyone loves him and always want to stroke him. i would suggest the dutch dwarf rabbit to everyone who would like a rabbit.

Hi i just got a beautiful dutch rabbit. He is sooo cute. I went to the pet store and i held him. i fell in love with him right away. He is very gentle and he isnt very jumpy when you hold him. If you get a dutch rabbit and it doesnt move alot in its cage dont worry. My rabbit which i named Jack stayed in one corner of his cage. But all they are doing is trying to adapt to their new environment. After a few days they start hopping around and playing with their toys. I recommend when you feed your rabbit dont feed it alot of carrots and vegetables. The dutches stomaches are very sensitive and they may get diaraih. I hope you have fun with your rabbit and if you dont have you should get a dutch!

I love my Dutch Rabbits. I have a black male named bucky and a gray female named bunnie. I took both to our town fair, both got 1st place. Bucky got 1st runner up!!! It was great. Every one was telling me how beautiful my rabbits were and wanted some of their own.

About two years ago I met a dutch rabbit, and fell in love with the breed. My first one was a Tort. who would lick you and was the best mother I have ever seen. I continue to love the breed, in fact I now have about 24 rabbits, and a few pregnant ones. The dutch really have changed my life. Now instead of "normal" vacations I go to Dutch Specialty Shows.

I would like to advise everyone of critical feeding information that I just learned the hard way. We have had two Dutch bunnys for a little over 8 years. We were feeding alfalfa pellets for many years only to learn that this is not good food for a rabbit after about 6 months. Too much calcium that leads to health probelms that can be fatal. Timothy hay and timothy hay pellets is the best diet and orchard grass works well too. This advice comes from the doctor so please find a doctor for your rabbit that treats rabbits, have yearly check ups and feed them Timothy hay products after they are 6 months old. Oxbow is the best I have found and they are on the internet. I just lost one of my boys today and I want to help everyone avoid my mistakes. They are wonder friends and pets and live 8-12 years of more with proper care and diet.

Hi, my black dutch bunny is the cutest bunny alive! she sometimes even licks me and my family. she is called Meg. we just sort of went into a pet shop and brought her! she was so easy to litter-train. she got the idea about 2 days after we got her!
She is just so affectionate. she hops about the room and chins everything in sight! sometimes she just WON'T go in her cage when we want her to. when she in a cheeky mood she sometimes chews the cords and wires.(we let her chew the papers scattered around the room)
She also DOESN'T like going to bed (like me) and chews at the bars desparately.
AND she sometimes chews and digs at the carpet and then we squirt her with the water sprayer.

But i still think she's the cutest bunny on earth...
