About Us

Hi, I'm Sarah and welcome to my website. I established Rose Cottage (Retford) Mini Lops over 3 years ago, although I have been breeding rabbits and Mini Lops in particular, for over 18 years. For me, my love of animals and their welfare is priority. I have made these pages to share my love and passion for rabbits and hope that my experience can benefit and support anyone hoping to care for their own rabbit. 

I am based in Retford, Nottinghamshire as a hobby breeder of Mini Lops and also black & yellow Dutch rabbits. My rabbits are first and foremost my very much loved pets, along with my beautiful, loyal sidekick Border Collie, Nessa who 'assists' me daily with their day to day care.

The main colours that I keep and breed are blues (butterfly, self and split), chocolates (butterfly, otter and split), harlequins and more recently magpies. I do have other colours that pop up so please see the 'available kits' section and sub page with more photos that I update regularly or my Facebook Page 'Rose Cottage Retford Mini Lops'.

I love the Mini Lop & Dutch breeds for their funny, inquisitive and affectionate personalities. Their size makes them easy to handle, whilst their kind temperament and cheeky, curious nature makes them extremely loveable.

​

Thank you for looking,
