I had a dwarf Holland Lop and he was almost as cute as my little Yorkie! He was indoors all the time and he didn't smell, but I only let him out of his cage when I was there to supervise him (mainly b/c I had large parrots who weren't afraid of ANYTHING). I cleaned his cage daily and I had tried the litter box thing, but it didn't work very well, so I gave up on that. I did have him neutered, b/c he would run around my legs in circles and then, all of a sudden, "spray" me
, and he also had a sort of annoying habit if I was lying on the floor playing with him or the cats or the birds, of getting on my head and "humping" my hair
. My vet told me that neutering him would stop that and she was right.
I was a little concerned about the surgery, b/c he was so small, but he had absolutely no problem. What he did have a problem with, was when my cats got fleas, brought them into the house, where they got into the carpet and then everywhere, so I had to take the cats to the vet for a flea treatment, get all the rest of the animals out of the house so I could bomb it and it's very difficult to get rid of the fleas on a bunny, b/c they're so delicate and you can't dip them or anything. This was before Advantage or Frontline was around, so maybe you can use that on them now. I'd just be very cautious if you might have a flea outbreak; the loss of blood killed my little BR. They're wonderful pets though and I would love to have another one, but I didn't have a dog then, and I"m afraid Max would be a little too rambunctious for something so delicate. I think I'd be careful anyhow with a bunny and any dog; unless they've been together for a long time.
