Often times people come to our rabbitry and are surprised by the size of a Mini Lop.
Due to the word "Miniature" or "Mini" in their name people expect them to be dwarf in size.
Miniature Lops are not a dwarf rabbit. They generally grow to a weight range of 4 1/2 - 7 pounds.
Our current adults are more towards the upper end of that weight range.
On a side note, Holland Lops (not being the same as Miniature Lops) are smaller lop rabbits, whereas English Lops and French Lops are larger than Mini Lops.
Mini Lops usually reach their adult size around 6- 8 months of age.
They grow very quickly during the first weeks of life.
You can see photos of our buck Whitehaven's Mango's growth during his first 3 months.
(I plan to add additional photos as he grows.)

Spirit's Scarlet's new litter!
We are happy to welcome two new bunnies today! Spirit's Scarlet had a small litter arrive today.
She had 4 come early a few days ago that were unfortunately dead upon arrival. We weren't sure if there were more to come or not. So despite the small litter we are happy that she kindled two healthy kits this morning!

Our orange doe - Spirit's Clementine update
I thought I'd post some updated photos of our Jr doe, Spirit's Clementine.
The first pictures was taken around 3 months of age and the additional pictures were taken today at 5 months.
We will likely be breeding Clementine for the first time in August.
So glad to be seeing orange here at our rabbitry!
