L.A. Lops Rabbitry Adoption Policy

We raise pedigreed Holland Lops located in Medina Ohio. The price of our rabbits ranges & depends upon color, age & pedigree. Our retired seniors start at $200 & our babies start at $350.  Holland Lops are dwarf rabbits that weigh 2-4lbs full grown. They are smaller than any other Lop eared rabbit. Life expectancy of a Holland Lop is usually between 7 & 10 years.

 

Our rabbitry operates as a closed facility to maintain the highest standards of health and welfare for our Holland Lop rabbits. By strictly controlling entry and limiting outside rabbit contact, we prevent the introduction of diseases and parasites that could devastate our carefully cultivated breeding program. This approach allows us to provide documented health histories, ensure genetic diversity through meticulous pedigree tracking, and maintain consistent quality in our rabbit lines. Our closed rabbitry policy represents our commitment to responsible breeding practices and the long-term wellbeing of both our rabbits and the broader Holland Lop community. We appreciate your understanding that these restrictions are in place not to limit transparency, but to protect the animals under our care.

 

Our Hollands are healthy at the time of sale (to the best of our knowledge) as we would never sell a rabbit showing signs of illness. We are not responsible for the Hollands health after it leaves. Please read the care sheet provided thoroughly to make ensure you are caring for your new bunny adequately and without common mistakes. We are not responsible for any vet costs after the rabbit has been sold.

 

Our Hollands come with a bag of transition pellets, hay pedigree & care sheet explaining the basics. Please keep in mind that the color and sex of a young Holland can be difficult to determine sometimes but we do our best to be correct. Please recheck your rabbit before you leave with it as we do not guarantee sex or color.

 

A $50 non-refundable/non-transferable holding fee is needed to hold your Holland. We accept Chase Pay Zammjc22@yahoo.com) or Venmo @Miranda-Misenko. The remainder of your balance is due in cash the day you pick up.   A pick up time needs to be made when the deposit is placed & within 7 days of the "available date" posted on the Holland's profile. Our pickup location is at 750 E. Washington Street, Medina OH 44256. We park on the far left side closest to the exit sign.  You need to bring your own carrier to transport your rabbit home. Please be on time for pickup. We will wait 30 minutes past the arranged pickup time. If you do not show, you therefore forfeit your deposit.

 

We start taking deposits on our Hollands at 6 weeks of age. The available date posted on a Hollands profile reflects when the Holland is 10 weeks of age. We make sure babies are eating adequately on their own and ready for their new home before leaving for future adoptive families. We will never sell a Holland that is showing signs to fading or difficulty adapting when it comes to weaning & eating on its own.

 

Pending: An inquiry has been made about the Holland showing interesting and we are waiting to receive a holding fee. If the holding fee is not received within 12 hours the next adopter in line will be contacted.

 

Hold: A non-refundable $50 holding fee has been made to hold the Holland until they are ready for their new home.


Adopted: A full non-refundable payment has been made on the Holland Lop & they are no longer available.

 

All of our babies are youth raised & handled daily. However, we do not make any guarantees on show, breeding, future disqualifications, future faults or temperaments.

 

All of our Hollands are fully pedigreed & will carry the name **L.As** as part of their name. It cannot be dropped or changed into your name otherwise the pedigreed will be considered void. You can name your rabbit anything you prefer but it must have **L.A.'s** in front of its name on the pedigree. If the pedigree comes with a name already on it, it must stay but you may call the rabbit whatever you decide. Pedigrees are available at request only and are not automatic. If you decide you’d like a pedigree mailed to you after your pickup date a $25 fee does apply.

 

We reserve the right to refuse adoption if we feel that the individual may be unfit to care for one of our Hollands. If a holding fee has been placed this is the only circumstance that would allow for a full refund.

 

You must be 18 years of age or have permission from a parent to purchase one of our Hollands. All adoptions are final.


In the event that you can no longer take care of your rabbit we will be more than happy to take it back. No refunds will be issued. You will need to supply a cage as we do not keep empty cages in our Rabbitry & will also be less stressful on the rabbit while we look for a new home.


How to Take Care of Your Holland Lop

There’s loads of information on the internet about caring for bunnies.  Here are a few simple guidelines to help you raise a happy & healthy Holland Lop:

  • Make sure that your Holland Lop has fresh cool water at all times.  Water bottles are what all of our kits learn to drink from.  Crocks/water bowls work well but can be dumped & soiled easily so its important to check them regularly..

  • We feed Kalmbach 18% Best in Show. You may choose your own feed but it is not recommended. We have provided transition feed to mix with your new feed for the first week or so.  Do half transition feed half new feed & gradually decrease.

  • Feed 1 teaspoon old fashioned oats (not quick oats) daily to all Hollands under 6 months of age. If your Holland digs or dumps the food bowl, give the oats in a separate smaller dish.

  • Provide fresh, unlimited timothy hay or orchard medley daily (no alfalfa it’s too rich)

At 6 months of age we give:

  • ½ cup of feed per day at the same time or ¼ in the morning & ¼ in the evening

  • Fresh, unlimited timothy hay

  • 1 teaspoon of old fashioned oats weekly

  • No treats or greens until 6 months old.

    • Food treats may be given weekly after 6 months old but should be very limited. Too many treats can make your Holland overweight and unhealthy. Too many treats could also give your bunny diarrhea and be fatal.  Our weekly Holland safe treats include: plain shredded wheat, plain cheerios, dandelion greens & parsley. A great source for bunny safe treats: riseandshinerabbitry.com

If your Holland has watery liquid diarrhea, remove food pellets, then give hay & oats only (no treats) with plenty of water (add a bowl of water in addition to your water bottle) until you see normal droppings.  Hollands can easily get dehydrated & have very sensitive digestive systems.  If your Holland stops eating and drinking…you may need to see a veterinarian.  Hollands have soft clusters of poop called “cecotrophs” in addition to their normal round/firm droppings.  Your baby has learned from his/her mama how to eat these tasty turds.  It is completely normal & helps them to maintain a healthy gut.

Please do not bathe your Holland.  A young Holland is very sensitive to cold.  The stress from bathing and the cold can be fatal.  Hollands will groom themselves regularly.  They will also ingest lots of fur in the process which is why they need unlimited hay. The high fiber helps to move all the fur through their little guts.  You can brush your bunny to help keep his/her hair clean and smooth.  If your Holland becomes soiled with stool try to brush it out.  If that fails you can cautiously trim the soiled fur with scissors.  As a last resort you can wash your Hollands bottom only with mild soapy warm water & be sure to dry as best as you can.

As your bunny grows you will need to trim their nails once a month with a cat nail trimmer. Only trim the nail up to the “quick” …there is a visible blood vessel in each nail.  Dark toenails make it difficult to see the “quick” so use plenty of light.

Hollands do get bored. We provide ours with plenty of toys (plastic treat balls, cardboard, wood blocks, straw tunnels, boxes).  Chew toys like apple sticks also keep teeth healthy.  If your bunny has an outdoor play area make sure that there is plenty of shade because they can easily overheat. 

Once your bunny reaches their hormonal stage (typically 4-6 months), we strongly recommend spaying or neutering if breeding isn't in your plans. Your sweet bunny's personality can go through dramatic changes as hormones kick in. Some may begin mounting, spraying urine, or developing nipping behaviors. Their previously perfect litter box habits might suddenly deteriorate. Many become territorial over their living space, toys, and even their favorite humans

Please allow your new Holland time to transition and settle in to their new home.  Bunnies can get easily stressed by too much handling and lots of change at one time.  Enjoy getting to know your new bunny & best of luck!
