LUVURBUNS - 2011-12-24 It depends on where you live. Do some research about the breeders and..the breed. Make sure your 9 y/o is responsible and doesn't want a cuddle bunny, since netherlands aren't the cuddliest breed. If she/he does want a cuddler, I would say a lop. :)
NIKKI MARAMAN - 2012-02-09 YES! I HAVE SEVERAL THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE. AND ALL HAVE PAPERS! JUST ME ME A CALL 4789600486 LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH YOU.

Charlie Roche - 2012-02-12 Best guess would be allergy or respiratory infection. Have you changed to a different bedding, food or litter just recently? If you have you could try changing back. If your little guy is the least bit lethargic or not eating as usual, then I would get him to the vet as you will probably need some antibiotics.
Anonymous - 2012-02-25 I would take it to the vet she might have snuffels.
Anonymous - 2006-04-18 I have fallen in love with Netherland Dwarfs when I was only about eight years old. My first rabbit that I fell in love with was Cocoa who has passed away March of 2005. My next rabbit is named Inky and I just love her with all my heart. I fell in love with this breed and changing is just out of the story. My rabbit is very sweet, lovable, loyal, and commpassionate. Although the Netherland is known for its bad temperment, I totally disagree; my rabbit loves snuggles and loves to explore more than anything in the whole, wide world!
Joanne - 2011-10-07 i just got the cutest baby Netherlands dwarf rabbits (2), Honey and Bubbles. I was just wandering what is a good healthy diet for them and what things to never feed them.

Charlie Roche - 2011-10-07 Rabbits are herbivorses and need a lot of hay - timothy is good and some green leafy vegetables. You can do a little fruit like apple as a treat. Netherlands aren't real big and don't eat much. Pellets are for industrial use to promote fast growth and not the best thing for your little guy to eat. Alfalfa is good but unlimited amounts of hay should always be provided.
tabitha - 2012-01-03 I get pellet food for my dwarfs from pets at home is made just for dwarf Bunnies. and yes plenty of hay
Michelle - 2011-10-21 My daughter was given a Netherlands Dwarf Lion head last Easter. Link, (he bears a resemblance to Abraham Lincoln..haha),has the most amazing personality and scares our Yellow Lab to death! He is unusually intelligent for a rabbit and very beautiful! We heart our little wee Link!

Charlie Roche - 2011-10-21 My first rabbit - English Spot - would chase my brothers german shepherd all over the house and yard. Hysterical to watch.
LUVURBUNS - 2011-12-12 Yah. I have a HUGE cat named Duma. Once my friend actually called him a mini mountain lion! Well, anyway, my Netherland Dwarf named Napster chases him! LOL! And Duma won't go near Napster! XD
Gemma Orrill - 2011-11-26 We have 2 boy netherland dwarf rabbits. They are about 8 months old and are brothers. They have lived in the same cage until a few days ago when we have had to house them seperatly as they are now fighting with each other. One rabbit is worse that the other as when we try to take him out of the cage or even change his food he is constantly going for us and being very aggresive towards us. The other rabbit tries to bite us but not as often as the other one. This is quite heart breaking as they wasn't like this a couple of weeks ago and they are our childrens pets and they can't even touch them. please help.

Charlie Roche - 2011-11-26 Your litttle guys have reached puberty and their hormones kick in. Two male rabbits can't normally be housed together unless they are neutered. I would recommend you get both neutered if you want them as pets. They should return to the NORMAL fellas they were.
LUVURBUNS - 2011-12-12 I would reccomend not getting them neutered until you have found a rabbit vet, not a normal one. rabbits can be killed if you aren't careful!
Reva - 2011-10-18 My Netherland Dwarf has an attitude, big time. When in his playpen, he doesnt run, rarely jumps, most of the time he is chewing on the bars in hopes to get out, I assume. He is two yrs. and just now is being friendly. Is this the nature of this breed?
LUVURBUNS - 2011-09-04 Hey. It's been awhile, but just to tell you, I found out my rabbit is a girl :D LOL! She is so frisky, with a hoppity spirited personality. She loves to hop around. She is s-l-o-w-l-y growing into her color, which is siamese sable. In 6 days she will be going to the fair park and strutting her stuff. This is also my 3rd year in rabbits, so ask me questions. :)

jon - 2011-09-02 we had 3 netherland dwarf rabbits. I let mine play outside but put in cage or inclosed deck over night. They were also allowed to play in the house BUT, you must protect ALL electricle wires, computer wires. phone wires, any wire with some current in them, they will chop them. The rabbits won't be electrocuted but nothing works after awhile. You must also be careful of your furniture covering - let run around the room but hold them when on your furniture. Best pet/friend ever.
Steve - 2011-05-02 Hello. My fiance and I bought the cutest little netherland dwarf bunny. She is white with black markings. Very Very Very cute! She has a problem with chewing on our surround sound speaker wires though and we have tried the bitter spray they use for dogs and it doesn't even phase her. We love the bunny but we need to break her of this habit. Any suggestions?

Charlie Roche - 2011-05-02 I don't believe you can train the bunny to not go after the wire. Cover up the wire with something - anything. They eat hot peppers so there is nothing that the bunny is not going to like. Is it a young bunny? If so, then can you just watch her and prevent her from going near the wires because the chewing will probably stop once the teething is over.
Cheryl - 2011-05-14 The bitter spray never worked for my small dogs. The suggestions I got were orange juice, lemon juice and vinegar. (The juice has to be fresh squeezed.) Applying by using a quarter of the fruit with the skin on was the most successful for me. Good Luck!
shannon wolfe - 2011-05-20 Have you tried to give your rabbit chewing wooden sticks or just get a small toy for her to chew on. It helps with their teeth and breaks them from chewing a lot of other things.
LUVURBUNS - 2011-07-10 Steve, here's some advice.
You can go to the hardware store and buy some pipe or whatever to cover the wires up. And also get her some untainted wood and hard plastic toys. That should help :)
kylie - 2011-08-16 You can't really stop a rabbit from chewing on things. It's what they do. Just watch them very close or put it in a room that is rabbit proof. I have a nerthland dwarf who loves too chew every thing he sees. He is ABOUT A MONTH OLD NOW BUT HE ALMOST DIED from it so now he has his own special room where he can run and play with out getting hurt by anything so I suggest you pick a room that has nothing that can hurt him and let the lil fella be free in there
zoe - 2011-08-27 You can buy cord sleeves at pet stores and online. They wrap around your cords and are hard and chew proof.
These are the cutest rabbits one could imagine! They come in about 36 different varieties (more than any other breed!) all of which stay very small!
