Can a 2 and a half mini lop bunny get a 6 month old mini rex rabbit pregnant?
It's possible; male mini-lops usually become sexually mature at about 6-8 weeks,and mini rex females can become fertile at as early as three months. It's NOT a good idea; breeding is very hard on female rabbits and cross-breeding should be left to professionals. If you have a female you think is pregnant, talk to a rabbit experienced vet, and/or or read up on how to properly care for her and her babies. If not, neutering (for both males and females) helps pet rabbits live longer, happier, healthier lives, and sometimes improves their dispositions.
Which breed of rabbit is the friendliest?
I have found that the french lop or the dwarf lop female rabbits are the friendliest especially if it is for a child. netherland dwarfs can be aggressive but it all depends on how old they are when you start handling them and how much you handle them. i had a netherland dwarf as a child and he was very aggressive he used to growl and jump forward at you everytime you went to feed him or clean him out but he lived with a dwarf lop and she was the friendliest rabbit you could ever want she loved people she was a bit like a puppy really lol
