hi all im new to this forum only found it today i already have a lop he is a smoky grey colour he is fluffy big and called peter my son 2 at the time named him i got this baby dwarf lop today off a breeder wasnt happy she was driving round with them she supplies the garden centres but they were all in decent cages and had correct bedding ect and water but he looks really small he is supposed to be 8 weeks 1 ear is up 1 down is that normal for that age he is very freindly seems to have been handled the lady had a young daughter and a dog with her benny the bunny doesnt seem nervous at all and is good body weight he is in a large pet carrier in the house for now as he seems to small to go out will try and put pics on and see what people think

Hiya and welcome


The fact that she supplies to garden centres means she is not a good rabbit breeder He's probably very young.

Were you thinking of bonding them? Hate to put a dampner on your new bun but two bucks that are not brothers are very likely to fight, especially when little one is sexually mature.

1 ear thing is perfectly normal, i am a french lop breeder and sometimes mine dont lop until about 3-4 months. infact sometimes my lily who is 1 still has 1 sticky up ear lol.

i would never supply to shops no matter what even if they was getting older i would keep them all, especially cos i love them lol but i dont breed for money like alot of these breeders do. he is prob younger than 8 weeks as alot of breeders sell them earlier and shops like them smaller to look sweeter for customers.

i want to see pics i love baby buns

oooo he is a cutie!!!
looks quite a nice size tho not too small compared to mine of what i can tell.

He looks healthy enough, probably about 6 weeks old, they should be rehomed at 8 weeks but breeders supplying to petshops commonly rehome them at 6 weeks because they look cuter Least he has a nice home.
