Top 10 Rabbit Breeds That Hate Being Alone

What better place to start this list of the friendliest rabbit breeds than with the lovable Lionhead? This fluffy little cutie is instantly recognizable thanks to that coat that looks a lot like a lion’s mane, but this beautiful bunny has much more going for it than just good looks.

You see, the Lionhead is commonly described as one of the most easy-going rabbit breeds you’re ever likely to meet. These bunnies are friendly, affectionate, and generally quite happy to be handled. And with their playful nature and small size, Lionheads are very easy to fall in love with.

The Rex is a medium-large breed known as the “king of rabbits”. Famous for its beautiful fur, this gorgeous breed is also well known as a wonderful companion.

Welcome a Rex into your home and you’ll be rewarded with an intelligent bunny with a gentle temperament. Friendly and good-natured, the Rex gets along well with most people and is also highly trainable.

That’s why it’s no surprise that the Rex is such a popular choice among pet rabbit enthusiasts. It’s also the reason why if you bring one of these bunnies into your life, you’ll need to put plenty of time and effort into giving them all the attention and TLC they need.

Meet the Mini Lop, a bunny with a playful, people-loving nature and looks that have won hearts all around the world. Weighing in at a maximum of 6.5 pounds, the Mini Lop may be relatively small in stature but still has quite a stocky build. 

Happily, these active little bunnies are also quite fond of people. When raised properly, they’re generally quite friendly rabbits and will get on like a house on fire with their human family. Mini Lops are also generally quite keen for cuddles, so expect plenty of snuggle time if you welcome one of these fur-babies into your home.

Small bunny breeds have something of a reputation for being a little bit hyperactive and reluctant to sit still. That’s not the case with the “pawsome” Polish rabbit, however, as this beautiful breed is one of the most chilled characters of the small rabbit world.

Often described as laid-back, the Polish is a calm and easy-going breed. But these bunnies are also quite curious and intelligent, and they thrive when given plenty of love and attention. Even better, they commonly get on quite well with children — provided care is taken to handle the bunny properly, of course.

Next on our list of rabbit breeds that love people is this adorable little ball of fuzz. The American Fuzzy Lop weighs in at a maximum of 4 pounds, making this little pet a pint-sized package of all-American awesomeness.

With its floppy ears and fuzzy fur, this gorgeous bunny just looks ridiculously cute. And those good looks are backed by a playful and curious temperament, so your bunny is sure to bring plenty of entertainment into your life.

And because the American Fuzzy Lop adores company, they’ll want to be by your side as much as possible.

As the name so clearly suggests, the Flemish Giant is a big bunny, weighing in at up to 20 pounds. The good news is that this giant is a gentle one, known for its easy-going attitude and laid-back approach to life. 

This placid personality is a big part of the reason why the Flemish Giant is such a popular pet. This breed is quite happy when given a chance to just take it easy and spend some quality time with you. And if that doesn’t sound like a breed everyone can love, we don’t know what does.

The fabulous French Lop is our next bunny that loves company. Known for its docile nature, the French Lop generally gets on well with people of all ages. It also does best when given plenty of chances to interact with its human family members, so this is not a pet that can simply be left to its own devices all day long.

These socially-minded rabbits also have something of a playful streak, so be sure to give your pet a good supply of toys and ensure that they get as much mental stimulation as possible.

There are lots of good reasons why the Standard Chinchilla is such a popular choice with rabbit lovers around the country. At the top of the list would have to be the breed’s sweet nature and wonderfully gentle temperament.

These inquisitive and playful little creatures simply love getting plenty of attention from their people. The more time you spend with them, the happier they’ll be, so a Chinchilla is a great choice for anyone who wants to maximize the interaction they have with their fur-baby.

Take one look at the Jersey Wooly, and it’s hard not to fall in love straight away. Not only are these bunnies quite small, weighing a maximum of 3.5 pounds, but their distinctive “baby face” look is simply irresistible. 

They’re also known as friendly and gentle bunnies, with aggression rarely a problem. Jersey Woolies also have a whole lot of affection to share with their people, so you can look forward to plenty of cuddle time if you decide to make one of these adorable fluff balls your next pet. 

Last but not least in this collection of the friendliest rabbit breeds is the delightful Dutch. This instantly recognizable breed was actually developed in England, not the Netherlands, and has a whole lot to offer to anyone willing to offer plenty of love, attention, and interaction.

Dutch rabbits tend to be gentle and friendly little cuties that thrive when given lots of chances for human interaction. They’re also quite intelligent bunnies, which generally means they’re easy to train, and toys are a must to provide them with essential mental stimulation.

Besides, when you get a bunny with a charming nature and those distinctive markings that are oh so adorable, you’ll want to spend as much time as possible with your furry friend.
