Throughout a large part of my life I have owned a rabbit as a pet. My favourite breed of rabbit is the French Lop because of their wonderful friendly and sociable nature and their large size suits me as my other animals (cats and dogs) take little interest whereas a smaller rabbit is more likely to be percieved by them dinner. My previous french lop Claude (sadly RIP) spent much of the time living as a house rabbit and he was very entertaining, mischevious and full of fun. In the summer he moved outside and bonded incredibly well with a pair of sussex chickens that I had at the time, so much so that at night he would climb onto their perch (a plank of wood) and sleep with his head on the roosting hen's back
Having spent several years of being rabbit free and after much research and deliberation I decided the time was right to once again become a rabbit owner and so joined the British Rabbit Council and was delighted when Sarah from Sarazel Lops kindly agreed to sell me a beautiful unrelated breeding pair of French Lops, Morse (Agouti Butterfly) and Aruba (Ruby) (Steel). I do not plan to breed lots of litters of rabbits, but do look forward to hopefully breeding some quality stock that I will be able to show in due course when time permits and any revenue made from the sale of baby rabbits will be put towards the cost of this hobby
.My first litter of kits from Morse and Ruby have been born on 6 April 2010 and in due course some of these kits will be available for reservation once I have selected which I wish to keep for showing. I will not allow the rabbits to go to their new home until they are a minimum of 10 - 12 weeks old (end of June/early July)

If you are considering owning a french lop rabbit it is essential that you give the matter careful consideration - French Lops are large rabbits and they should not be kept in a cage smaller than 6 ft in length as per RSPCA recommendations. They can make excellent house rabbits and can be litter trained but damage can be incurred, for example they may eat trailing cables.
Rabbits need stimulation and usually enjoy human company and interaction rather than being left alone in a hutch just being given some food once a day being ignored/forgotten about the rest of the time
