Dutch Rabbit

As a first-time rabbit owner I did a lot of research before choosing a Dutch. They're widely recommended for beginners and the reputation is well-deserved. My rabbit was easy to litter train and hasn't had any health issues in two years. She's spirited and active — she needs good free-roam time — bu…

Dutch rabbits have been popular for a reason — they're balanced, friendly, and full of character. My Dutch rabbit Domino has been with me for four years and remains active and curious every single day. He loves exploring, rearranging his toys, and investigating cardboard boxes.

I was surprised by how smart my Dutch rabbit is. He learned his name quickly, comes when called, and figured out how to open the simple latch on his enclosure (I had to upgrade it).

The children have learned so much about animal care through looking after her. She's healthy, eats well, and is generally a r…

Dutch rabbits are noticeably intelligent compared to some other breeds I've kept. My rabbit worked out the layout of the apartment within a week and knows exactly where her food comes from. She nudges me persistently if her morning greens are late. She loves exploring new environments and investigat…

Dutch rabbits are more active than I expected. My rabbit needs at least 4 hours of free-roam time to be truly content, and she will thump and rearrange things if kept cooped up. Once she's out she's brilliant — curious, playful, and will binky enthusiastically across the room. Make sure you have eno…
