How big do netherland dwarf bunnies get?
They are still big enough to stink to high hell :-) ha ha i had one for years and years. She didn't get too big, she was prob. about 1.5 pounds. The weird thing about rabbits is that if you don't handle them regularly and all the time they become mean. I went on vacation for two weeks and had someone feed her and change her cage but they didn't handle her and she was mean and nasty when I came back! They make great pets if you have the time to tame them and keep them that way. But remember they are not very "hardy" and need to be kept inside, thus the cage has to be changed ALL the time to prevent stinkyness. It was alot of work. Good luck!
Need Help! Holland Lop size?
http://www.binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54... ^ third pic on the page is a holland lop next to a mini lop for size comparison... also, the top pic is a 4 lb bunny in a NIC bunny condo... each NIC cube panel is 14''x14'', the grid divides it into 9 squares, so each square is about 1.55 inches. the bunny's length (sitting, not stretched out) is 6-7 squares, so approx 10 inches (he looks a little squished into the corner, though). based on that, I would guesstimate 9-11 inches for a sitting holland lop when fully grown. (when I said earlier that my 9-10 week old baby was just under 8 inches nose to tail, she was kinda stretched out at the time (trying to figure out what was going on with the measuring tape, I think :P... she's also on the chubby side) http://www.gopetsamerica.com/small-anima... ^ list of the smallest rabbit breeds. Britannia Petites and Netherland Dwarf rabbits are the only ones listed that are smaller than Holland Lops (though there are a few that are about the same size) personally, I'd still stick with the holland lop for the temperament. when I was at the breeder picking out my new bunnies, she was *very* easy to "catch" out of the litter of baby holland lop bunnies (kinda just sat there and waited for me to pick her up) and was willing to be held and cuddled by a total stranger, so you should be able to spot one with a "cuddly" personality when you're picking your new friend.
How to take care of a rabbit?
One of my mom's co-workers asked my mom to take a rabbit (they're moving to an apartment and it doesn't allow pets), otherwise it would go to the shelter. My mom knows I have a lot of animals (150 sheep and their 342 nursing lambs and 50 hogs and their 672 nursing pigs), so she called me and asked me if I wanted it. I said sure - what's one more? So my mom is dropping it off at my house tonight...it comes with a cage and everything else it had (I'm not sure what the "everything" is though). I know it's a boy--if it's neutered, I'm not sure. I don't know the age, either. Is there anything I need to know about taking care of a rabbit?
Cuddly pets with cages no bigger then 30x30?
Are hamsters sociable (with humans, more then others I'd rather get one then two)? I'm considering a rat, although I use to have two and one ate the other then died.. not a good experience. My mums scared of guinea pigs, I have no chance with one. I like rodents, but are there any cheap, cuddly and sociable ones.. sorta like hamsters? =D
What is the weirdest pet animal you have ever come across?
A friend of mine when I was in college kept a female tarantula as a pet, a local species from Uruguay."Macho" means "male" and "hembra", "females".The species he kept was not poisonous, and she was also very "friendly" and low key. The only thing you had to be aware of, was some irritating hairs that they have on top of the abdomen, so you could pick her up and have her walk all over you, but one could not pet her, because of those hairs that would give you a rash.I can proudly say that I overcame my initial rejection and help her on the palm of my hand, just as in the photo. I even let her climb on my torso, I had a thick sweater as it was winter. She moved onto my shoulder, and it was all good until she decided to climb onto my curly hair. That was a bit too much and I asked my friend to kindly remove his pet from my hair before I "lost it". It was a great experience, and I'm grateful to my friend Fernando for the experience.He is now a professor at the University in Montevideo and specializes in tarantulas!
