    Looking for a pair of Netherland Dwarf rabbits as pets.

    I had a pair of mini - lops from Mekki pets but she no longer sells them. I;ve been in contact with Toni's pets but she has no litters.

    Any other reputable breeders?

    There's a couple of Facebook groups where you might find a good breeder. Not sure if you know Mini lops are much more calm, friendly and easier handle than Netherlands dwarfs.

    Any links (via PMif needed?)?

    I've done some reading on both and that they were similar tempermeant?

    No not similar at all. The Dwarfs can be quite aggressive. Mini Lops are usually fairly sweet.

    I had dwarfs and they were lovely. The only problem they had is one was in the vets for a week and when she came back the two had to be kept separate from then on as they fought from that point on.

    I have two mini lops in the nest at the Moment , they are sealpoint so will be cream with black points , like a Siamese cat type markings .
    I imported the parents from
    The uk they are bred by the top mini lop breeder in the uk who wins best of breed nearly every year in the big shows :)

    Yes I will be when they are 8 weeks old :)

    You can .. ive brought some by ferry myself and used a courier for others (specialised animal courier) .. most of our bunnies came from the uk because it's hard to get pure pedigree ones here , especially show quality as we don't do a whole lot of showing in ireland (we go up north :)
