I love my mini-Rexes. Both of them are a little shy, but one will let you pet her pretty much any time you'd like. Neither of them are aggressive and have never bit my wife or myself. They are also the softest things you'll ever touch in your life, and it's a sheer joy in and of itself just to pet them.

I raise Netherland dwarfs and Dutch. Some of my Netherlands are very adventerus and fiesty but not all of them are "energetic", they can be calm. It depends on how much they are held when they are babies, like all rabbit breeds if you hold them alot when they are little they tend to be more friendly. Dutch are a nice small breed,they tend to be calm and sweet and only weigh around 4 pounds. I call Aravis(my Dutch)my little princess.

Mini rex rabbits aren't common where I live either. And because one rabbit is sweet doesn't mean all of them will be. Most any small rabbit breed is good. Lionheads are considered a mini breed and my little Bun Bun is so cute and fluffy. When I tell Bun Bun "come" she runs to me right away waiting for a carrot. It's funny.

Are there any other breeds that are calm? Besides the Mini Rex? There aren't a lot of Mini Rexes in my area. More suggestions?

"High strung" can sometimes mean aggressive. It depends on the rabbit though. Not every "high strung" rabbit will be mean. Mini rex rabbits are partially hypoallergenic, stay small sized and are gentle. That's what I think is the best.

I really don't mind an energetic bunny. I just don't want an aggressive one. Still, any more suggestions?

"High strung" means energetic. They will run around like crazy. And once I saw a Netherland dwarf at a pet shop running around kicking up litter then jumping up to swallow it. Then the rabbit just fell over and went to sleep. It was alive (I think) but it definitely looked sick.

My netherland dwarf is high strung, although i didn't get her from a pet store.... i got her from a breeder at a rabbit show. yes, they do have rabbit shows, the ones i'v gone too have mostly been 1 day shows, but they have about 250-500 rabbits betwin the open and youth.

Thanks for answering! But when I looked up " Netherland Dwarf" in the rabbit section, it said that they are high-strung.What is that?

I own a lionhead rabbit. They make good pets but they need special grooming on their "manes". Netherland dwarfs I heard that they are very energetic.

a mini rex is very calm, but they are about 3-4 1/2 lbs.

Which is the best breed for a small house? The Netherland Dwarf? Mini Lop, Holland Lop, Dwarf Hotot, mixed breed? Lionhead, Dutch, Florida White... which is rather calm, but less than 5 pounds? Help!
