English Lop Rabbits in Colchester, Essex

English Lop rabbits have very long, floppy ears that can touch the ground, which may hinder their mobility and cause them to trip or stand on their ears accidentally. Their ears also cause them to lose heat, making them sensitive to cold. While these characteristics don't always cause specific medical issues, they require careful care to avoid injury and cold-related problems.

English Lop rabbits are relatively low maintenance with minimal grooming needed due to their short, soft coats. However, they require plenty of space and exercise to prevent weight gain, and their delicate ears need special attention, making indoor housing best.

English Lop rabbits usually enjoy being held once accustomed to human contact. They appreciate gentle, calm handling with full body support, though they may need time to become comfortable. They generally prefer gentle interaction rather than sudden or rough handling.
