Holland Lop Rabbitry Tour || Pt 1 - Meet the Rabbits 

Sahana K From a breeder' s perspective, yes these ignorant comments are very annoying. I'm saying this as someone's whose rabbits won't use resting pads no matter what I do, some rabbits won't use the resting pads and the wire doesn't hurt them or cause sore hocks if the rabbits are being cared for and checked correctly. I've seen and heard of way more cases of sore hocks on wood than wire or any other surface. As most rabbits ( for example mine) that are in cages that size get playtime outside of the cage, those cages are completly fine. Please do more research before commenting in the future.

LPS Riley thanks but my comment wasn't ignorant and I have done my research. Before you comment, please don't attack the person. You can disagree with what they say or do but online, you really don't know anything about the person Firstly, I never said wire caused sore hocks and really the surface doesn't have anything to do with it. It's about the way the weight it distributed when they jump and about how wood (or wire) doesn't absorb. The reason you have probably heard more sore hocks from wood is rabbits that are in wooden cages are usually larger and have room to hop so have a greater chance of sore hocks. Also, she did say her rabbits get playtime every few days. Also, with large breeders, it's really hard to give rabbits consistent play time. You can't let the males and females interact. You usually can't even let the males interact because a lot of them are so hormonal cuz they can smell the females. The females may do fine together but not all, so you have to give separate playtime to each rabbit which is very difficult. It would be impossible for all the rabbits to get any more than 15 minutes of playtime a week, which is less than sufficient. Also, I didn't demand a really large cage or anything. A 2 by 4 cage is doable! As for the testing pads, yes the rabbits may not use them or prefer them, but they are still great to have as an option. And yes, I do know this is a business and that most of these rabbits don't live here forever and most will be adopted out when they get older, but I wanted to give my perspective. I also did comment on how healthy her rabbits look

Sahana K i definitely agree

Sahana K especially w babies

All that matters is... Do the rabbits look happy? They look very happy and im sure they dont ,mind the size cages they have now and wire is not an issue with holland lops.

And the water bottles are a Nono

they are WAY too small :/

Aria Aurelia definitely 👍

Uhm no they are more than way to small. These are living creatures you pervert not your toys they deserve to have a good life. Meaning exploring, having space for basic movement and a group to interact with.

Uhm. Define 'happy'. It has been proven by research that can be checked on every major rescue bun website and organisation in the US, UK Germany and Australia that big enclosures that are at least triple the size of those cages are a basic need of every bunny. I won't even talk about the wired floor. A little hint. If your breeding space looks more like a meat farm somethings wrong.

Brynne Guyer I agree.

No it's not ok at all keeping them in such small cages! So stfu!

Omg you people are horrible rabits shud not be in that condition

@@annadejus1123 smh

No

You are a morron then.this is animal abuse!

Ava Sinton do you not see the matts?

I totally agree

Riya Srivastava They have places to get off the wire.Either way wire is fine flooring.

Betta. Fins I meant I agree that they have places to get off the wire floor

clem looks like a mini rex with her airplane ears :)

+Ebony&Me after a year they are harder to get pregnant and it's harder for them to have live babies.

Holly's Hollands Rabbitry thank you so much should I rebreed her or is it too risky

+Ebony&Me personally I wouldn't

okie dokie thank you!

Soooooooo agree

So the poop falls in. Dumb ass ppl y’all need to get a life

Because she to lazy to clean them out properly because its soo super duper

It is more sanitary to have wire bottom because the poop falls through and they aren't sitting on it.

@@adventure2bcorp but i, myself is also a bunny owner and from my knowledge, wire bottom cages can hurt the rabbits feet. So before calling people dumbasses, maybe do your research :)

4x2 is good. I would only do 2x2 if they are mostly free range.

+Amy Stovall what are rice pops? They sound like something they shouldn't eat

They sold at the pet store i finally got a answer from my vet they are a junk food for rabbits and only to be given as a treat once a week at the most i have my now ,but thank you for getting back to me

Put him on the bottom row, try to seclude him. It's really not fixable though unless he's alone.

They are Holland Lops, which are smaller than the American Mini Lops.

+Blue Jeans Rabbitry it's 10ft by 10ft and will snugly fit around 25 holes or more depending on how many you stack up

Cool! Thank you!

Ayla Meier solid flooring doesn’t cause sore hocks

paige leinani they get dayly play time outside the cages, also wire is perfectly fine for rabbits as long as it's the correct gauge.

what do u know? ur like 5? i can tell u love my little ponies

paige leinani the wire us fine! As long as they don't have sensitive paws

As long as the wire is half inch by half inch to half inch by 1 inch squares it's perfectly safe for the rabbits, if it were any bigger then it would cause problems with the animals feet. But I do think the cages could be a little bigger, the Ideal size would be 36"Wx30"Dx18"H for maximum comfort especially when you have so many in one cage. :)

Wire is fine for rabbits but if you noice they had boxes with hay in them if they need a break from the wire. This rabbis are obviously very friendly and would get lots of ran around time outside the cage. The cages were made for rabbits they are not small

Pixel Gaming From my experience with Hollands and domestic rabbits in general, they can be handled within the first couple days.

Pixel Gaming they can be handled straight away

Sometimes I do themed litters ☺️

That's cool

Nope the pedigree just goes with the rabbit. Some people write the new owners name but since a rabbit may be sold and transfer owners many times in it's life, I don't bother

No she was born here a few years ago 😊 but from my original lines

Zuzu sorry

+Mae Hodges no not normal for domesticated rabbits, rabbits in the wild do it though

Mae Hodges yes sad but yes

+The one and only corey santmyer nothing. Babies without fur I will sometime bring inside at night time but besides that, they don't need anything extrq

Holly's Hollands Rabbitry ohh thank you I'm thinking of starting my own rabbitry

It’s during summer you have to worry about

+Andrea Dubiel I use Timothy hay. All my best tips about rabbit breeding are on my website www.hollyshollands.weebly.com

+Andrea Dubiel click on "bunny care"

No their probubley no healthy if you luck at their back feat luck up sore halks on Google or yutube and that is what their feat will luck like

@@annadejus1123 you shouldn't be putting bad comments if you can't spell 💀 🤣

Wow u s*ck man toughs bunnies are not ok

@@kaylalinn7756mf not everyone is American

@@Aceofspades2006 Wire bottom cages are literally healthier for a rabbit as all the urine and feces won't be built up and especially for breeder rabbit's who can't be fully litter trained as they mark their territory. Not every rabbit is ment to be inside free roaming.

Bunnies For Life bad genetics and improper care causes sore halks. Not sure floors.

they are wired floors that is bad for them

Bunnies For Life she has raised Holland's for 10 years and never had an issue with sore halks, my vet reccomends them because they are cleaner and healthier. My vet has berry rarely seen sire halks on a wire cage. But has seen many on a solid bottom.

FINALLY SOME SMART EDUCATED PEOPLE!!!!

I’ve seen hollands in tri before but not often Definitely a question for the holland people 🥰 Personally I raise Rex

@@WoodlandHomestead2022 I actually have a tricolor Holland lop now 😁

These wire floors really piss me off wouldn't even be heard of in the UK

Buns belong in enclosures not cages!

Rebecca Walpuski Enclosures and cages are the smaller things

+Becstar 100 when I have the time to film and edit! Life has been crazy lately. Maybe I'll do a video sometime (after pt 2 of course) explaining the busyness and what I've been up to.

Ok thx wow u responded fast love your channel

+J Skinner I have before already, and all the the tips and ideas are the same ones I have now. Just search posing baby Holland Lops on RU-vid and it should come up

okay thanks

Meeka because there is nothing wrong with it, it keeps things clean and keeps them out of their own poop and urine

Flame Nightingale190 first of all no it’s not okay it damages their feet and gives them sore Hocks and maybe if you actually didn’t keep rabbits in little cages they wouldn’t be sitting in their own shit. Keeping them in an open room with litter boxes would be way better. How would you like it if you lived your life on a wire floor and got blisters because of it. Also they can’t get enough water at a time with those water bottles. Honestly do your research. Maybe ask a certified vet what you should be doing. If you can’t afford good care for your rabbits then don’t own so many rabbits.

I go to my vet every 6 months and she fully supports my way of doing things, my bunny is happy and healthy, water bottles are fine and for long haired angora breeds are required because croocks get them soaking wet. I understand what your concern is bit your useing outdated information.

As holly has said before she has been raising Holland's for 7+ years and never had an issue with sore hawlks on any of her rabbits. that was with her useing wier flooring.

I've been to 3 different vets that have told me the same thing, my rabbit gets plenty of play time and she has hides and fleece blankets in her cage. I don't do it exactly the same a holly but I do use wire floor. I understand you have an internet P.H.D. but I've never once insulted you or been rude I would appreciate the same courtesy.

Melanie Nash from everything i’ve researched. it’s all been a big no for wire cages their feet are too sensitive

Wire is fine. That’s all I have to say

For holland lops it is fine as they have a lot of fur protecting their back hocks.

Actually with rabbits its far worse for them to hop around and possibly get their feed soaked, and they do pee a lot. Once wet. their feet won't dry out fast enough to keep their skin healthy. So wire is best but they need ceramic tiles or plastic mats made for this. Rabbits are now domesticated and made by man to have more hair than rabbits in the wild have. They need care geared for this, so no wire is not bad for rabbits at all as long as you keep an eye on them.

Hannah Remington ummm it’s not how would you know it actually causes really bad blisters on the feet

I will agree on the size of the cage but the wire floor is only going to hurt them if it's not half inch by half inch to half inch x one inch.

i was like...why would she call her bunny fucker? oh wait it kinda makes sense tho XD

Nah I don't like long fur and I'm allergic

Don’t use those plz they need more space and a water bowl not bottle

+Alana Williams lol

ITs obvious you know very little about raising rabbits. If you know so much go rescue some. These rabbits are im a bright clean airy barn, safe from preditors and in cages probably larger than the FDA requires. You need to take a chill. Wild rabbits have their kits in burrows half this size.

2448redbird you obviously know nothing. Maybe you should talk to a rabbit vet and ask them what they need or even just research it online. Also bunnies only stay in their tiny nests for a very short time. These bunnies are at youngest a few months old. They need more exercise. I just hope she lets them out to run and play.

Meeka she dose I told you before hun.

Flame Nightingale190 literally stfu and stop talking to me

Your a fucken troll. The cages are fine many people use wire cages to raise rabbits in . You can buy them right n tractor supply. Her set up is fine. Stop trying to make a problem because there isn’t one!!

If you don't want the x pen, you can try N.I.C. grids, or...something like that.

She no longer breeds rabbits lmao

+Eddies Rabbits I bought a shed from Lowe's and had guys come out and install it. I do not recommend Lowe's as a place to get the she'd because they did a poor job and their customer service was terrible. I use Woody's Wabbits and Bass Supply cages but the WW are my favorite. Pull out trays are easiest but it depends on your preference!

Yes

Do u live in new Zealand

No. I live in Everett WA USA

Oh ok I've been looking for a nice baby bunny like yours but I can't travel that far sadly

Yes I aked her

All about animals 1 I would take them all and give them better homes

+James White there are bigger faults I'm currently working on, ears are easy to fix :)

+sharmaine Hill it's a winning. The rabbit has to get first place out of at least 5 rabbits and at least 3 exhibitors in the class. 1st place or a higher placement can get a leg as long as those conditions are met.

Eston Ball She lets them out maybe watch more videos before judging?

@@lauren3266 actually I've watched several videos to come to that conclusion wire mesh flooring is unacceptable no matter the circumstance the cahes are small and there are far to many rabbits out there we don't need to be breeding rabbits

@@lauren3266 if u want to learn about rabbit care ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_THWAXPIl28.html this video talks about different types of rabbit housing

Eston Ball The wire flooring she has is actually not bad for rabbits.I do agree these cages aren’t ideal but they have space to hop stretch and lay down and i’ve heard she lets them loose to exercise regularlyShe breeds healthy pedigree rabbits which isn’t a bad thing.People that backyard breed random rabbits are bad she isn’t.

Eston Ball I know about Lennon the bunny i personally dislike the information she gives out🤷🏻‍♀️It’s all opinion based yet everyone believes everything she says sadly

Please do not. This is cruel animal breeding and hoarding. Not okay. And the conditions under which the animals are kept are terrible.

@@rewalpuski no they are not they are healthy and happy so shut up

@@kaylalinn7756 they are f not. They live in a cage that's basically their body's size. Are u bit slow on the thinking side of life? It's like living in your own closet forever. With wired flooring and having to Pop out babies. Not even Shrimps could be happy living this way.

@@rewalpuski the cages are not the size of one bunny they are bigger and rabbits are different from humans so you don't know how they fell but to me they look pretty happy so before you start running your mouth do some research

@@kaylalinn7756 BAHAHAHA please, could you do your research? Do me a favor and Google "bunny care" and "minimum cage sizes", watch some videos and then ... come back here, yeah?

Wild With Roxi I've talked with my vet and she was very clear that wire floor cages are perfectly fine, she recommended it because she gets so many cases of sore hawks from solid floor cages. Also holly has stated before that she is freinds with Dianne from hooks Holland lops, and Dianne agrees with and supports hollys way of running her rabbitry. Her rabbits get dayly outside run time so they aren't in those cages 24/7.

Wire flooring doesn’t cause sore hocks that’s a misconception.
