Five days.

What the Wisconsin climate means for a Holland Lop

Cold, long winters and mild summers. From a heat point of view this is one of the safest states in the country for a Holland Lop. The winter is the whole conversation.

What Wisconsin owners should know

From a heat standpoint Wisconsin is one of the safest states in the country for a Holland Lop. Summers are mild and short and rarely threaten a rabbit. The winter is the entire conversation, and it is severe: an unheated garage in a Wisconsin January is genuinely cold enough to harm a rabbit, and lop ears frostbite before anything else. The Wisconsin House Rabbit Society is one of the most established chapters in the country and a genuinely good resource. Madison and Milwaukee have solid exotics coverage.

Before you buy

Two things are worth reading first, and both are the sort of thing a seller would rather you did not think about until after the sale.

• How long they actually live. Seven to fourteen years.
• What the first year actually costs. The rabbit is about a quarter of it.

We do not take money for a litter that does not exist yet, and there is no waiting list. If nothing here suits you today, check back rather than pay to hold a place. More on how we work.
