Ears on Hollands will lop sometime between 3 weeks and 6 months, and perhaps occasionally later (even as late as three years). Bunnies that have narrow crowns or are slow-maturing will lop later. Bunnies with wider crowns or long and heavy ears, and those that mature more quickly will lop sooner. Almost all Holland Lops can exhibit ear control when they are excited. Ear carriage should be evaluated when the bunny is relaxed.

Unless a kit is being sold with its parent, it should not leave the barn until it is 8 weeks old and fully weaned. In some states, it is illegal to sell a rabbit before the age of 8 weeks. I generally remove the dam from the litter at 7 weeks if they are weaned and leave the litter together for another week to lessen the stress of being without mother. Then the kits are technically ready for new homes. See similar questions...

I believe that 24" x 24" is the smallest size that a doe with kits should have. Bucks, young rabbits, and dry does can be housed in a 18" x 24" cage. Indoor rabbits may be housed in a slightly smaller cage (15" or 16" x 24") as long as they spend part of their day outside their cage. See similar questions...

In theory, they could have 12, with their 31 day gestation period. In the wild, they have about 7. But 3 or 4 per year is a healthy number of litters for a Holland Lop per year. See similar questions...

A Holland Lop is considered to be a senior at six months of age. He or she is fully sexually mature at that age, too. Although a Holland may gain a few more ounces in weight after this age, they are pretty much the size they will be by then. Holland Lop bucks especially continue to mature towards their optimum showing potential until about 18-24 months old. Then, they may continue to be shown until age 5 or after.

I looked at my last forty litters and found that there were an average of 3.2 live kits per litter. If I ignore the completely dead litters, the average is 3.8. For those who like statistics, the median was 4 and the mode was bimodal at 0 and 6. The minimum is obviously 0 and the most I've heard a breeder report from her herd is 13. I should note that I breed does twice, one hour apart. Also, some lines of Hollands are better producers than others. That is to say, your actual results may vary. See similar questions...

I think it's best to wait until the Holland Lop is at or near adult weight before giving treats. It's always possible that a treat would not agree with your rabbit and cause a reaction such as diarrhea. An adult-size rabbit has a better chance of coping with the change in the diet and any resulting reactions. Treats should be introduced slowly, one at a time, with observation of any ill effects on your rabbit. See similar questions...

No, unless the consistency is more like blood than urine. Normal rabbit urine ranges from a color that looks like lemonade with milk in it, to orange juice with milk in it, to fruit punch with milk in it. Sorry if I just ruined all of your favorite beverages. Red in urine is undigested protein. See similar questions...

Ears on a Rat Terrier puppy may or may not stand. They sometimes go through several stages before standing erect, if they are going to stand at all. The two most common styles of ear carriage are: a) erect ears, and b) button ears. Erect ears will stand on their own—no cropping, taping or posting is required. If the ears are going to stand, they will most usually be erect by 10 months of age, but many puppies have their ear carriage earlier than that. See similar questions...

Although some puppies' ears stand as early as 8-10 weeks, don't be concerned if your pup's ears don't stand until 6-7 months (especially pups with large ears) after teething. Some pups ears never stand. This is known as a "soft ear". Sometimes taping is successful. "Soft ears" are a genetic trait, and dogs with soft ears should not be bred even if taping is successful. It is a disqualification in showing. Some GSDs ears stand but wiggle at the tips when the dogs run. See similar questions...

Usually, dog-ears stand between 8 weeks and 6 months of age. Some Dogs' ears stand already pretty by 10-12 weeks of age. Your dog's ears may stand but wiggle at the tips when the dog runs. This "friendly ears" are not a desirable trait for Show dogs. See similar questions...

Depending on the crop, it could take weeks or months. I have had some ears stand in 8 weeks and others it took 12 months. The most important thing is NOT to give up. If you take the ears down and they fall, TAPE them up again!! Also, ears should be taken down, cleaned, aired, and put back up within a few hours unless there is a good chance the ears will stand. Taking ears down and leaving them floppy for a day or two at a time will get you no where. See similar questions...

A.) Puppies ears should stand up on there own by six months. But could possibly take up to a year. Some puppies ears need a little more help than others. Laid back, easy going pups at times could be a cause for ears not to go up. Keeping these pups alert and interested and exercising there ears is helpful with mellow, easy going dogs. Sometime a "woolie" puppy has to much hair and the hair is to heavy to let the pups ears stand. Shaving the hair on there ears to give them a little time can help. See similar questions...

You can wrap the wick around a skewer or a pencil laid across the top of your container. A couple of other ideas are to use "stuck together" chopsticks to pinch the wick and hold it up, or use two Popsicle sticks held together at one end with a rubber band to hold the wick in place.

Many things can cause itchy ears. Some common causes of itchy ears are dry skin, ear wax and outer ear infections. Please consult your physician or an ear, nose and throat specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment of itchy ears. See similar questions...

When Holland America's elegant ms Zuiderdam begins her inaugural season December 14, 2002, all eyes will be upon her. She will be the first of a new class of cruise ships aptly called the Vista Series - forward-looking in both design and spirit. With more private, airy verandahs. More ample ocean-view staterooms. More space per guest than any other ship in a fleet already renowned for spacious comfort. See similar questions...
