| These cute little bundles are a giant breed of rabbit that will grow to be around the the size of a small dog, somewhere between a Jack Russell and a West Highland Terrier. They generally are not suitable for young children to handle alone. Like most rabbits few like being carried around and because of their size they could hurt a young child by scratching to escape their arms. They do have lovely personalities and tend to be very curious and friendly. Many people keep French lops as house rabbits, I keep mine outdoors. The choice is yours and they do well either way, provided thay have adequate space and are given the care and attention they deserve. I have found the ideal hutch to be 6 ft long, 3ft deep and 3 ft wide, although 21/2 foot depth is ok. The hutch certainly shouldn't by any smaller than 5 ft long. Rabbits do like company so it is good to buy in pairs. From my experience so far I would say male and female pairs are best but you have to have the boys nuetured or girls speyed, or both, for obvious reasons. 2 sisters or a mother and daughter pairing can also work out well but you may have problems (if they aren't speyed) in the spring and early summer, when their insticts to mate are very strong. You can keep a single French lop but please be prepared to give them lots of attention. Under no circumstances should they be placed in a hutch at the end of your garden, and only visited once a day. |
