Unlike larger breeds, which usually average between three and eight kits per litter (although sometimes this can top out at even more than ten), Netherland dwarf litters tend to be as reduced as their size. According to an article entitled, "Netherland Dwarf Rabbits-The Gem of The Fancy" published in pet magazine,"Exotic Market Review," Netherland dwarves are much more difficult to breed and average no more than three kits. These wonderful little creatures also experience more birthing difficulties--unlike their reputation, rabbits are not unknown to have many of these, some of which can be quite serious. I am sorry to bring sad tidings, but it is always best to be informed. You can check out the entire article at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/1155/Index9.html
