My Pets

The French lop rabbit is one of the biggest races, and weighing over 6 pounds in size they do not much inferior to a flemish giant. These are big friendly animals and are very affectionate towards people, especially interested in children, they want you to come sit with them and like to be closer and cuddle. They point rather not be lifted! You have chance to thrash them, thus making your ugly scratch or damage their back ones own so it is necessary that you lift them well. And the right thing would be to lift them with one hand between the legs supporting the breast, and with your other hand supporting their ass, just above the tail, thereby tilting the animal you’re sitting a bit, and keep it quiet.
Wrap them with your hands, that gives them a certain feeling of security. When they feel that they are at risk of falling, they will certainly oppose! Never lift the animal by his neck! A French lop is much too large and heavy for that, and it is true that rabbit do not like that. There may be internal bleeding occur, and pygmy rabbit gently, the skin so thin that even down to tear!
The French lop is a large animal and thus not suitable to be lugged around by children. It is always the best to just let them run free, and then they will somehow crawl on your lap as they want.

Housing

Because the French lop is a large animal, he is not suitable for keeping inside the house. If you do not have another choice then if would be good if you walk him around 1 or 2 times a day. You should choose a big yard to run, and a water-proof box to a night sleep. If you choose him to be outside in the winter, you would really do him a favor. A French lop developed a very thick undercoat that protects it from moisture and cold, and with such a thick coat in the living room where it can be about 22 degrees, the animal may even collapse from the heat. If it is very hard winter put some sawdust hay and straw in his cage. This way he can stay outside.
