Answer 3

Darn, the link isn't working, I really wanted to see what they looked like. Well I have had my netherland dwarf for about 11 months now, and he is about 2 pounds or so. He's very tiny. Most dwarf rabbits tend to be, hence the name dwarf. They are the smallest domesticated rabbits, so they don't get too big. A good way to judge how big your pet will get is by looking at their front paws. Here's alitte extra information on this breed :

Netherland Dwarf

Size: up to 2 1/2 pounds

The Netherland Dwarf is the miniature of the rabbit fancy and the smallest of all domestic rabbits. What it lacks in size, it makes up in popularity. It makes an ideal pet for small children. Although the breed is noted for its bad temper, especially among the bucks, the adult dwarf doe is the most docile pet animal and makes a great pet. A dwarf must never be handled by the ears, which are not large enough to get a good grip when lifting the animal.

The Netherland Dwarf comes in a wide range of colors including self group, agouti group, shaded group, tan pattern group, fawn, himalayan, steel, orange and tortoiseshell. This breed has the distinction of being recognized in more different colors than any other rabbit breed. The Dwarf rabbit has ears that seem short even for its small body. The show standard requires the ears to be erect, well furred, and 2 inches long. The eyes are round, bold and bright.

Oh and their ears may do that out of fear.
