You don't even know if you have a dwarf or a miniature? It would be incredibly irresponsible to breed. Please reconsider. Dwarf Lop The dwarf lop is one of the most popular pets, second only to the Netherland dwarf. This breed was first developed in Holland in the 1950s from the French lop. Weighing around four pounds (2kg), the dwarf lop is not the smallest lop. From the dwarf lop, the cashmere lop and miniature lop were developed. Miniature Lop Despite the name, the miniature lop is not the smallest lop either. Weighing around four to six pounds, the miniature lop was developed from the dwarf lop in the early 1990s in Holland. -- Commercial rabbit pellets are sold by most pet stores and produce merchants. Half to three quarters of a cup of pellets should be given once a day only as unlimited access to pellets can lead to obesity. It is essential that fresh water is always available. Vegetables such as cauliflower, parsley, spinach, corn on the cob and carrots, (but no lettuce) can be offered weekly. Hay and straw should be provided daily. If possible, move the hutch around the lawn to provide fresh grass but avoid any grass which has been sprayed with herbicides. All rabbits should have an area in which to exercise outside their hutch. The lop is not a very active rabbit and does not require a great deal of exercise but care must be taken that it is not overfed. Exercise will also assist rabbits to wear down their nails and to maintain body tone. Most rabbits in Australia are kept outdoors in movable hutches made of timber or metal. These should be enclosed with mesh, and preferably with a form of insect screen to prevent mosquitoes spreading disease. One end needs to be enclosed to provide shelter for the rabbit and a hinged lid here will help when cleaning the hutch each week. Of the many commercial hutches available (ranging in price from about $80) many owners prefer timber cages as the metal versions can get very hot in summer. With this in mind, hutches should be located in a sheltered area of the yard in warmer months. It is very important that the hutches are secure against attack from cats, dogs or foxes. They don't need much grooming. Mini lops may have between 1 to 5 babies per litter. Rabbits can be desexed for about $100 (roughly the same as cats) and this is recommended for pets. Otherwise, with more than one rabbit and only a rough idea of sex identification, one doe (female) could produce 50 kittens annually.
