Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for sale in Mitcham, Greater London

The Netherland Dwarf, also known as the dwarf rabbit or dwarf bunny, originates from the Netherlands and is renowned for being one of the smallest rabbit breeds globally. This breed is characterised by its compact, cobby body, weighing under 2.5 lbs, with a large, round head and short, upright ears. Their coat is dense and comes in a myriad of colours and patterns, including solid and shaded varieties. Temperament-wise, these rabbits are energetic, alert, and sometimes skittish, often displaying a distinctive "dwarf attitude" that means they may be a little feisty or stubborn. They tend not to be the classic cuddly pet but can form bonds with patient owners who socialise them early. The Netherland Dwarf rabbit for sale is suitable primarily for experienced rabbit keepers or calm households without very young children, due to the breed's fragile bones and sensitive disposition. They require ample exercise space, a hay-based diet, and careful handling to prevent health issues common in dwarf breeds. Despite their size, a large enclosure and daily interaction are vital for their wellbeing. This tiny, spirited breed makes a unique and rewarding pet for the right owner.
