Holland Lop Rabbit: Master of the Flop

Breeders squished these rabbits’ faces in and tucked those ears down until they had the perfect baby-faced bunny. They have long guard hairs that protect a cloud-soft layer underneath that feels like cashmere when you pet them. Watch one for a while, and you’ll see their signature move: the flop. Without warning, they’ll topple over like a tiny fainting goat, legs stuck out like a furry starfish. Those big eyes and round bodies hit all our “must protect” buttons at once. Fun fact: their floppy ears come from a single gene mutation that affects the cartilage, making those ears too soft to stand up.
