Scales follow breed-club and veterinary consensus; individual animals vary. Listings show what each seller has on file.

The tradeoffs, honestly

Dwarf Hotots carry the dwarf gene, so dental problems and peanut kits are possible. Their eye bands are hard to breed perfectly for show.

Common questions

Are Dwarf Hotots friendly?

Usually. They are active and curious, and many are social with gentle handling.

What health checks should a Dwarf Hotot have?

Check teeth for malocclusion. Ask about RHDV2 vaccination and any E. cuniculi history in the herd.

What makes a show-quality Dwarf Hotot?

An even, narrow black eye band on both sides, a short compact body and a round head. Eye bands that are too thick or broken are faults.
