The Dutch Rabbit is considered one of the oldest rabbit breeds in the world, originating in Europe sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s. These 
little rabbits make excellent family pets and are great for first-time rabbit owners, as they are generally friendly, enjoy attention and activity, and are quite hardy. They are not a high-maintenance breed of rabbit but do require regular grooming as they shed quite a bit. These are also fairly active rabbits, and similar to most small pets, need time outside of their hutches to get exercise and mental stimulation. If you’d like to meet one in person, stop by our Whiteford location sometime to meet the store rabbit, Thumper!
