CREATING HEALTHIER GENERATIONS

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

Regular eye checks prevent blocked tear ducts. Keep face clean and dry, especially around eyes. Early treatment prevents complications.

Parasitic Prevention

Preventable

Regular vet checks and preventive care keep parasites away. Clean housing and proper hygiene ensure healthy bunnies.

Spinal Health

Manageable

Proper handling techniques prevent back injuries. Support hindquarters when lifting. Safe housing prevents falls and injuries.

Heat Stress Prevention

Preventable

Keep rabbits cool in summer with proper ventilation and shade. Mini Lops are sensitive to heat. Frozen water bottles provide cooling relief.

Genetic Diversity

Manageable

Select breeding pairs from diverse bloodlines. Track pedigrees to avoid inbreeding. Healthy genetics create robust offspring.

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION

Together, we're creating healthier Mini Lops for future generations. Every responsible breeding decision contributes to improving the breed's health and temperament.

How you're making a difference:

  • Genetic screening helps eliminate hereditary conditions
  • Proper dental care prevents malocclusion issues
  • Selective breeding improves ear health in lop breeds
  • Community support for ethical breeding practices
  • Your careful selection helps create stronger bloodlines
  • Every healthy kit is a step toward a brighter future

By choosing to breed responsibly, you're giving families the gift of healthy, well-socialized Mini Lop companions for years to come.
