BREED INFO
The mini lop is one of the smallest breed's of rabbit, an adult mini lop will
weigh around 3 1/2 pound. They make fantastic pets as they have a laid back,
friendly and inquisitive nature. I have yet to meet a mini lop who doesn't like
to be fussed over! They also make brillant house rabbits as they are fairly easy
to litter train
