Rabbit question?

im thinking of adopting a mini lop rabbit from an animal shelter
does anybody know about there temperment?
which type of rabbit do you think are the nicest?
should i get a male or a female rabbit?
Answers:
First of all, I say good on you for thinking of taking one from an animal shelter, rather than buying one from a pet shop. I had a beautiful lop called Shelly for quite a few years. She was very friendly and loved to jump up into my arms for a snuggle.
If you are going to get one, then I suggest you go to the shelter to see what they have. They will be able to advise you on the temperament and past history of their charges. Good luck and remember that they do take quite a bit of work, but are well worth the effort.
Rabbits may be easy to love, but they're not quite as easy to care for.

the mini lop rabbit is a very contented breed also the Holland lop my personal favorite breed is the lionhead i have 1 of my own they are so friendly and love attention and lecture they will to anything for attention (eg going up on their hind legs) anyway i better stop wappering on about liohead and 1 more thing about lionhead they need a little more grooming as their mane grows to 5-6inches long. About getting a male or female then i would suggest littermates are absoulutely the best choice two males or females may fight whatever age the best decision is to get littermates or neuter/spay either the male or female if you are deciding on getting oppisite sexes. if you are getting 2 of the same sex it would be wise to neuter/spay one of the rabbit as if you don't it may lead to fighting i would say it is quite alot to do with the individual rabbit personality as with humans and others animals
HOPE THIS HELPS!
We have had 2 mini lop males and they are the nicest, most loving rabbits we have had. We have only had male mini lops, so I don't know about the females. We just lost one who was 10+ years old. The only problem is that their ears need to be cleaned more frequently than other bunnies because of the lop ears.
