The Mini Plush Lop is fairly new to Canada. This rare, unique and exotic breed has everything you want in a household pet. As they are low shedding, some people find that they are not as allergic to the Mini Plush Lop as they are to the traditional rabbit fur but if you have sever allergies you still may be affected. With their smaller size, velvety soft coat and social outgoing personality they makes for the perfect family pet. When you open the cage door and go to feed these special rabbits they almost fall out of their cages to get attention. Its like they are saying" Pick me, pick me I want to come out for a visit". They are also very fun and active out of their cages in their big runs outside. Running up to anyone that comes close for a visit. You just can't help falling in love with them more and more every day. Our Mini Plush Lop lines come from Mini Plus Lop that are direct descendants of Devie D’Anniball, the creature of this amazing breed in Ohio, United States in the early 2000’s. She started working with four breeds of rabbits. She chose the Mini Rex for its velvety coat, the Netherland Dwarf for their small size, the Holland Lop for their wonderful calm and friendly personality then finally the Mini Lop to get the wide crown and heavy ears to help lop the ears down.
Our goal is to continue to work with this unique breed and further improves it, getting as close to the standard of perfection for this breed as possible. Like the Holland Lop or Mini Rex, the Mini Plush Lop size can range from as small as two and a half pounds up to closer to five pounds. Our goal it to keep our Mini Plush Lops at a constant weight of between three and a four pounds while maintaining the thick velvet coat, great personality and the adorable look of the lopped ears.
Babies are also born with a baby coat which is a different texture and look than an adult's coat. The crinkly thinner coat will be replaced with the velvety, plush and thicker adult coat. Mini Plush Lop babies ears don't usually drop down until they are between 10-12 weeks. They are born with them upright or pointy and slowly lop down as they grow. C.R Bunny Barn are very excited to work on this absolutely amazing breed of rabbit called the Mini Plush Lop. The price of A MPL is between 200.-300.00. Pedigrees can be provided if requested for an additional charge of 20.00.
