The Miniature Plush Lop is a small breed of rabbit that weighs 1.7–1.8 kg (3.7–4.0 lb). The rabbit comes in blue, brown, tan, grey, white, and black. It originates from eastern Ohio in 1995 by Devie D'Anniballe, and was a mix of a Mini Rex and a Holland Lop. [124] [125] [126] Miniature Plush Lops are very delicate due to their small size. [127]

It has a more fully arched conformation than the other rex lops, is very bold and friendly, and excels at rabbit agility.
