Proactive Health Management for Mini Lops

Join responsible breeders working together to improve Mini Lop health through careful selection and proper care

Dental Health Excellence

Preventable

Regular hay feeding prevents overgrown teeth. Monitor eating habits and provide appropriate chew toys. Quarterly dental checks ensure healthy teeth for life.

GI Stasis Prevention

Manageable

High-fiber diet with unlimited hay keeps digestive system healthy. Watch for changes in appetite or droppings. Quick veterinary care prevents serious complications.

Ear Health Management

Preventable

Weekly ear checks prevent infections common in lop breeds. Keep ears clean and dry. Early detection ensures comfortable, healthy ears.

Weight Management

Preventable

Proper portion control and daily exercise maintain ideal weight. Mini Lops can gain weight easily but proper diet keeps them healthy.

Respiratory Health

Manageable

Good ventilation and clean housing prevent respiratory issues. Avoid dusty bedding and maintain proper humidity levels.

Eye Care

Preventable
