Mini Lops don’t just have big hearts, they’ve got big ears and teeth too. To avoid any issues, you need frequently clean those floppy ears to remove any trapped bacteria or wax build up. Try make a habit of brushing your rabbit every week and in moulting season, you should do this more often.

Give their nails a trim every month or two, and ensure they’ve got some toys to chew on for those front teeth, too.

Rabbits in general aren’t the most independent creatures – they like company. Don’t leave them alone for more than 24 hours.
