Q: What is a Mini Lops average size full grown?
A: The Mini lop breed has a weight range of 1.6 kg to 2.5 kg. A mini lop should reach its adult weight by the time it is nine to ten months old. It is worth noting before that the size and growth rate may vary slightly from rabbit to rabbit. However, the size of your bunny’s parents, their diet, overall genetics play a large role in your bunny's weight when fully grown.
Q: Does my bunny come with a Pedigree?
A: Although some of our bunnies are pedigreed, not all are eligible. We are selling bunnies to be pets for lovely families. We do provide you will a family tree chart for 2 generations.
Q: What do I feed my mini lop rabbit?
A: The diet of a mini lop does not differ from that of any other rabbit breed. They require at least 70% of their food intake to be good quality hay. The rest of the diet should be made up of a good balance of leafy greens, vegetables, fruit, and pellets.
Q: How long do Mini Lop rabbits live?
A: Lops are a 7-10 year commitment. Placing the right baby with the right family is our top priority.
Q: What are Mini Lops Personality?
A: Mini Lops are a very friendly and playful breed. They love company, either another bunny or a human. Their gentle temperament and small size make them a great rabbit family pet.
Q: Should I get two bunnies so one isn’t lonely?
A: You do not need to purchase two bunnies. Bunnies do just fine with only human interaction and bonding, as long as you and your family have the proper time to spend with your bunny. If you do not have at least 3+ hours a day to interact with your bunny, you could consider getting a second. Bunnies can start to socially regress without interaction, playtime, or having a grooming mate. Spayed/Neutered Buck and Doe pairs do better, because they can work more harmoniously with each other, rather than developing territorial habits.
Q: Do you have a wait list?
We do work off of a waitlist. We do our best to place babies in the best possible homes with loving and dedicated owners. We spend one on one time with all of our babies, handling them from birth, and socializing them until they are ready to go to their new homes. We do not mass breed and we don't always have enough bunnies for everyone, therefore we realise that you may have to adopt a bunny from a different breeder.
Q: Do you treat your rabbits for worms and parasites?
A: Yes. We treat babies at 6 weeks of age. We treat our entire herd every 4-6 months, or as needed.
Q: Do you offer a health guarantee?
A: Yes. All bunnies purchased from Mount Eliza Mini Lops come with a 5 day health guarantee.
Q: Does my bunny need vaccinations?
A: Yes. Ask your veterinarian about the RHDV2 Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus vaccination. They can get vaccinated from 8 weeks of age and then every 6 months to maintain immunity throughout life.
Q: Will your rabbitry provide advice for the life of my rabbit?
A: Absolutely, however we will refer you to a veterinarian when appropriate.
