Life has been continuously throwing us curve balls, from job changes to injuries, but we will be replying to those who have been long awaiting DMs over the next few days. We are finally getting to the point of having established and regular schedules, so it should become easier for us to manage social media once again on top of our work, personal, and just general animal husbandry lives!

We do have a litter who will be looking for new homes very soon, all are boys! 🫣

We are so sorry for our absence, we are working hard to reply to everyone and get back on track. We had some unexpected life changes but we are excited for what is to come.

We have just invested in a new building to finish out an even nicer space for our rabbits, and we brought in some exciting new genetics at Nationals this year. A junior buck we produced did end up placing top ten at Nationals under a youth breeder, so we are happy to take steps to further improve our lines. 🙂

🌟Waitlist Announcement 🌟

Our waitlist for our Spring 2024 litters will be opening on April 16th at 6:00PM Central Time! We will only have three kits available, two orange bucks, and a harlequin doe. If you have any questions about our bunnies or the process to bring one of these kits home, please send us a message and we would be happy to talk!

03/31/2024

We want to thank everyone for their interest in bringing one of our rabbits into their rabbitry and or home! We will be announcing our waitlist opening date/time in the 2-3 days. We as of now only have *one* litter born for Spring 2024, our second planned litter ended up being a false positive, so we had to rework our schedules: that’s the fun of working with animals, nothing ever goes to plan!

We are looking forward to showing you our upcoming kits soon, and for those who will be there, seeing you at the HLRSC 2024 Nationals in April!

With Easter right around the corner, it is time for our annual Easter bunny post! We at HLH Rabbitry do not support the sale or purchase of bunnies as Easter presents, we do not offer any rabbits for sale in the time surrounding the holiday. This is a blanket statement and how we have decided to conduct ourselves for the best interest of our animals. If you are looking into getting your new forever friend, make sure you do it ethically, no ethical preservation breeder who is meeting the Standard of Perfection for their breed is going to plan their all their litters around selling for Easter. Do not support backyard breeders looking to make profit off of unsound and poorly bred animals.

Rabbits are not an “easy” pet, nor are they short lived. Upwards of 80% of all rabbits sold during the Easter season will be abandoned, surrendered to shelters, or die due to neglect within their first year of life. Here are a few things you should consider before purchasing a rabbit, or truly any pet for your family.

Am I committed to care for this animal for the entirety of it’s lifespan? Rabbits live 7-10 years or more!

Am I prepared to have money set aside in the instance that my rabbit requires veterinary attention? Rabbits are often considered an exotic animal and typically require being brought to a non standard (specialized) practice.

Am I prepared to spay/neuter, vaccinate if necessary, and provide yearly vet checkups? All rabbits in pet settings we recommend to be altered, just as you would a dog or a cat.

Am I prepared to give my bunny adequate space, care, and personal interaction daily?

Am I prepared to offer my bunny a varied diet, hay based pelleted feeds, and unlimited access to grass hay?

Am I prepared to not get “bored” of my bunny?

Rabbits should not be treated as disposable pets, their life is not less valuable than say a cats or a dog. Please keep all of these things in mind and pick that chocolate bunny or a stuffed animal instead. If after the holidays are over you are still wanting a bunny, and have done proper consideration and research into rabbit care, then add a new companion to your family then. :)

Forever 🏠 found!

He is a very adventurous and energetic little guy, but can be a little cautious with new people. Because of this he will need a family that can respect his boundaries while he warms up to his new environment. We are confident that he would thrive in almost any home!

We know we have had quite a bit of interest, so we decided to post him publicly rather than reach out to individuals, just so everyone has a fair chance. DM if you are interested or have any questions.

Hello everyone! we are so excited for our upcoming pickups and for our kits to be with their forever families. 🙂

While we do not have any kits available currently, we are expecting Holland Lop Hideaway’s Tax Evasion (Eva) to have her litter in the next few days, while she is a first time mom we are optimistic that she will do wonderfully. We will be sure to keep you all updated.

02/19/2024

All waitlist families have been reached out to regarding setting up a phone call or selecting their baby! If we do have kits who end up unreserved we will make a public announcement. :)

02/16/2024

Our kits have been photographed and we will be reaching out to those who have filled out our application forms shortly!

We have some adorable faces and fun personalities in this litter. The clouds and the wind were working against us this photo session but we made it work!

02/02/2024

We are now officially moved and settled into our new location in McKinney, TX! It has been an eventful journey but we are happy to be here.
We will be opening our waitlist for our Spring litters on the 9th at 6PM!

Those who are approved will be able to select and reserve their baby on the 16th! These kits will be ready to go to their new homes between the 8th-11th of March. :)

01/22/2024

Due to a change of circumstances we will be returning to the DFW area for the foreseeable future. This means that our Spring 2024 litters will be available for pickup there, not in the central Texas region.

Additionally, Holland Lop Hideaway’s Lyle in Style (Lyle) has found a new home, so he will not be joining our breeding program in the future. 🙂 We look forward to seeing what he will produce for his new rabbitry regardless. His brother, Wii Tennis (Tennis), will be staying with us and producing his first litter later this year!

Happy Holidays! We hope you and your loved ones are doing well this holiday season, and we are very much looking forward to the new year. 🙂

These three kits will be joining their forever families to be beloved pets very soon, we will not have any more kits available until Spring 2024!

12/14/2023

Unless someone on our waitlist falls through, we are not expecting to have any more kits available until Spring 2024! 🙂

We are keeping several kits, including this little boy shown, to improve our program so that next year we produce even more beautiful and well tempered rabbits. We have also brought in some new rabbits from outside genetics to improve upon our lineage as well, so exciting changes are in our future!

We are shifting our focus to Shaded group as well as Tri-Color, and we will be phasing out of otter and agouti.

12/07/2023

We never even posted this little man, but this is one of our growout bucks! We have had to make some tough decisions on who stays and who goes, but we are happy to see it is paying off.

⭐️ WAITLIST NOW CLOSED ⭐️

We have a wonderful litter of THREE kits ready for waitlist applications; pickup for these kits is estimated to be the last weekend of December.

We do not condone bringing home bunnies on Christmas Day, (the excitement and stress of Christmas is a lot on these little guys.) so if you were hoping to welcome a new member to your family this holiday season we recommend unboxing and setting up the enclosure for your bunny with your kiddos Christmas Day then coming to get your bunny that weekend. 🙂

By being approved for our waitlist you are securing a pick of this litter. Please do not apply if you are not prepared to bring a new companion into your home, we only take as many slots as we have kits available. This application form will be open for 48 hours. Please note that applying does not mean that you are automatically approved for a pick of the litter.

We completely forgot to post our final photos of these babies before they went off to their forever homes. (Some are still pending pickup!)

We do have another litter on the ground which we will be announcing soon, after that we will not be producing any more bunnies until next year, ideally Spring! :)

10/04/2023

We are currently working on reaching out to everyone who has applied for our waitlist and showing off all our kit’s adorable individual personalities!

We should have messages sent out to everyone by the end of the day. ❤️

🌟 Waitlist Announcement! 🌟

Our waitlist will be opening TOMORROW, Sunday the 1st of October at 6PM CDT. As always, please be sure that you are fully committed to bringing a bunny into your home prior to applying. Being accepted onto our waitlist does secure your spot for a pick from our current litters.

Here is a few of the babies we will have available! We have eleven total kits, across three litters, ages ranging between 2 weeks and 6 weeks currently. They will be looking to move to their new homes late October (8 weeks of age at the minimum, we do occasionally hold longer!) through November depending on the litter. 🙂

09/12/2023

A peek inside of our nest boxes, we have a wide variety of colors currently; from otters and chestnuts to Siamese Sable and frosty! We will likely be opening our waitlist within the next few weeks. :)

These are not the cleanest photos but our little duo is doing STELLAR both of these rabbits are looking quite wonderful. Usually we don’t see this much depth in the body by this age.

08/25/2023

We are happy to announce that Maple Syrup has now had her first successful litter of two beautiful kits! A solid tort and a solid sable point. We are having some major temptation to keep one of these babies so we will see how they develop and go from there.

We are all hoping for Gwen to be safely returned to her friends and family. She was last seen in Oregon, please spread awareness if you are able.

Gwen Brunelle left Boise on June 26th planning to drive to Fresno, California. She was last seen in Jordan Valley, Oregon, on June 27th when she purchased gas at the Sinclair station and made an additional purchase at Mrs. Z’s convenience store. Her vehicle was found abandoned at the pullout on Su...

Edit: He has found a home with a great family 🎉This little guy’s home fell through so he is now looking for a family again. He is a torted tri-color, which is not a showable color, but he has an amazing little personality and would make someone a wonderful pet. Feel free to DM us if you have any questions or are potentially interested in adding this little guy to your home. ❤️
