Netherland Dwarf

Netherland Dwarf.There’s no better place to start a list of the top10 dwarf rabbit breeds than with the Netherland . One of the most popular breeds of all sizes, this gorgeous little bunny was developed in Holland in the early 20th century.

And although he may be small, he’s huge on personality. The Nethie is a curious and inquisitive little fellow with a definite playful side. While he can be shy at times, he’s got plenty of affection to share and loves spending time with his humans.

It’s also pretty obvious that the Netherland is very easy on the eye. With those beautiful big eyes, upright ears, and a coat that comes in more than 20 colors, this is one small bunny you can fall in love with straight away.

Of course, given the Nethie’s tiny size, careful handling is a must. But if you can take extra-special care of this adorable little furball, you’ll be rewarded with a gentle and affectionate companion.

Netherland  rabbits are the smallest domesticated rabbit breed – fully grown, they weigh about 2lb (900g).

Their small size and babyish features have made Dwarf rabbits popular pets, and in 2018 around 13-18% of pet rabbits sold were Netherland Dwarves.
