About Goshen Holland Lops
Welcome to Goshen Bunnies! My name is Sarah. I breed Holland Lop and Mini Plush Lop bunnies , and I'm sure you will fall in love with these floppy eared bunnies as quickly as I did. Holland lops are small, smaller than mini lops only weighing only 2-4 pounds, and they love to cuddle. Mini plush lops weigh in at 2-5 pounds. Mini Plush Lops are a good choice for people with allergies, as they produce less dander and only shed twice a year. My kids help me with everything bunny, so our rabbitry is a family affair. We take pride in our breeding and breed quality Holland and Mini Plush Lops.
We breed our bunnies for a cuddly, loving temperament. Our bunnies are handled at birth and our rabbitry is in our home, so they are used to being around other animals, children, vacuums and the noises that ensue. We occasionally have show quality rabbits along with blue eyed VM bunnies. Their temperaments are perfect for children, and I do everything I can to have them used to being picked up and handled as much as possible before leaving my rabbitry. I want your bunny to become family too.
Bunny care:
-I feed my bunnies 1/2 cup Manna Pro a day. I will give a transition bag of food with all my bunnies. Transitioning should be done slowly over a few weeks as bunnies have very sensitive G.I. systems.
-Our bunnies are used to drinking out of water crocks. They do not know how to use a bottle.
-They are used to corner litter boxes. I put a layer of pine pellets (found at Tractor Supply) and then a layer of Back2Earth pet bedding which can be found at Tractor Supply or Tractor Supply’s website, I have also ordered it off of Walmart’s website. The bunnies are litter trained when leaving my rabbitry. However, going to a new place is stressful for small bunnies and can sometimes cause a hiccup in litter training. I am happy to walk you through the steps of litter training so everything can go smoothly transitioning your bunny to his/her new home.
-The bunnies are all free fed Oxbow Timothy hay.
-If you are looking for something cozy to put in your bunnies cage, mine always enjoy a Polar Fleece blanket. I will give you one they are used to having in their cage to give them the comfort of home to help ease transition. The fibers are so small on polar fleece that if they happen to ingest some, it wont stop up their system.
-If you have questions about ANYTHING, I am happy to help! There are no questions too small; please don't hesitate to contact me. I want you to enjoy your new family member!
- I have a great vet in the Louisville area who I have been working with named Dr. Juston Schmidtke at Goshen animal clinic. He has a lot of experience with rabbits and is a great vet to use if you live in the Louisville area.
Litter training;
Start with a small area. If your rabbit poops outside the litter box, pick it up and put it in the box to show where it goes. If your rabbit pees outside the box, clean it up with a paper towel and put that towel in the litter box. Make sure to clean the urine outside the box with vinegar to get rid of the urine smell outside of the box. Once your rabbit has this down, you can give him/her more space. This process should not take long as they are already accustomed to using a box.
First day:
Rabbits are very delicate and get stressed easily, so it’s best to keep your rabbit’s area calm and quiet the first day. Once they are used to their new environment this is no longer needed. Our rabbits are raised inside our home and are used to a large variety of noises. Once they are transitioned into their new home, I do not expect any problems. For the first 3 days, feed only our food before starting the transition to new food.
Bunny foods:
-Bunnies under 6 months of age should not be fed any fruits or vegetables. They have a very delicate digestive system and any new foods should be introduced slowly.
-I feed my bunnies 1/2 cup Manna Pro pellets and unlimited timothy hay everyday.
Bunny safe foods are:
-apples
-bananas
-berries
-kiwis
-melons
-peaches
-pears
-alfalfa sprouts
-arugula
-celery
-kale
-radish tops
-parsley
-romaine lettuce
-summer squash
-zucchini squash
These foods should be fed only in moderation!
NEVER feed your rabbit iceberg lettuce!
