Netherland Dwarf Bunnies:
Our Netherland Dwarf Bunnies Flower and Thumper

Flower and Thumper
Our first dwarf bunnies, Mars and Jupiter, had given us a taste for house rabbits when we had moved home and our new garden wasn’t ready for them to move into. They had spent several months living in the house, while the garden was made safe for them. Although Mars and Jupiter were very happy to move back outside, we missed having rabbits in the house and so Flower and Thumper joined our family.
Thumper was an agouti netherland dwarf bunny, the only one in the litter, and when we saw him we couldn’t resist. The rest of the litter were Sable Martens and Flower was the only other boy. As we wanted a pair of male bunnies our choice was made for us.

Mars and Jupiter Out in the Garden
Our first bunnies were Mars and Jupiter, who were netherland dwarf bunnies. They were brothers and while they looked very much alike as babies they had very different personalities. Jupiter was the calm and considered one, he was a lovely gentle bunny. Mars, on the other hand, was a bit bonkers. He was very unpredictable, one minute he was all sweet and lovely and then he’d growl at us and sometimes lunge at us too. He was never vicious, and he never actually bit us, but we did keep our distance when he was having one of his grumps. He was sometimes rather grumpy with Jupiter too, but Jupiter never seemed to care.
Dwarf Bunny Housing Part 1: Rabbit Hutches
by Lindsay in Dwarf Bunny Housing
When we got our first Netherland dwarf rabbits, Mars and Jupiter, we didn’t know anything about house rabbits. The Internet wasn’t was it it is today, and none of the dwarf bunny or rabbit books we bought gave any information about keeping rabbits in the house. So in preparation for their arrival we bought the biggest hutch we could find. It was about 5 feet long and a standard rectangular wooden box with an enclosed compartment down one end. It was the biggest hutch we could find and we thought it would be lovely for our new bunnies when they arrived.
