Has any one ever heard of a Norweign Dwarf Rabbit? My children have one (or so that's what the original owners called it) and I can't find any information on them - only can find info on Netherland Dwarf Rabbits and he looks nothing like that! Thanks.

Never heard of Norweign but sometimes the Netherlands are mixed so they look different. Most true Netherlands have tiny ears. They come in all colors.

I know nothing about them, but you made me curious -- here's a picture of one: http://www.homestead.com/eric29ct/rabbit.html

I couldn't find anything about them at Show Rabbit or the House Rabbit Society. There seem to be a couple entries on Google about them, but it is entirely possible that whoever sold it to you doesn't know the difference between Norway and the Netherlands?

We raised Netherland Dwarf rabbits at one time and still have one for a pet. The picture Julie gave a link to looks like a Netherland Dwarf. Maybe they just got the name wrong.
