    im not too up on rabbit breeds but there are dwarfs(smallest) and dwarf crosses (which can vary depending on what they are crossed with) most pet shops sell dwarf rabbits but they are usually a bit more.

    As said dwarf or dwarf crosses, although some people get these smaller buns thinking they will be easier to handle and take up less space. They need the same amount of space as a regular bun and are very cheeky and can get up to all sorts of mischief.

    Some rescues will have dwarf buns and regular buns up for homing as well.

    Try http://www.irishguineapigs.proboards.com/index.cgi someone on the might be able to help with a responsible breeder.

    Buns should be kept in pairs but sexing them and seperating them until they are both spayed/neutered is important. As well as the VHD and Myxomatosis vaccine.

    I have Netherland dwarfs & mini lops - both are lovely species & are small - as Guineapigrescue has said - they do need space & are social so you would need 2 males or 2 females - pm me if you want more info - I will try to remember to get some photos of my guys so you can see the size.
