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!

Chill'n with my dog Rocky,

 and my parakeet Lily.

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.

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

"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.

Chill'n with my dog Rocky,

my rabbits belle, ulitmate, ruby, spazz and m'n'm! spazz and m'n'm are rubys babies,

 and my parakeet Lily.

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

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?
