Velveteen Lops also coming to Whitehaven Woods Rabbitry!

So excited to announce that we will soon be adding Pedigreed Velveteen Lops to our rabbitry!
We will still be raising pet and show quality Mini Lops!

For those that are not familiar with Velveteen Lops (aka VLops)  they are a breed that has been in development for several years yet are still somewhat rare.
They uniquely combine the velvety, plush fur of a rex rabbit and the long lop ears of an English Lop.  They weigh around six to six and a half pounds and have a mandolin shaped body. They have what is referred to as a roman shaped head and the desired minimum ear length tip to tip is 15".
They are known for being very sweet natured rabbits.

A pair will be joining our rabbitry this coming weekend.  The doe has already been bred.  Assuming the breeding was successful kits would be due mid July 2015!
