It will not release its wool like the other three breeds will. They produce an abundant amount of fiber, and have a small amount of fringe on the ears similar to the English. Their disposition is easy going and gentle. When selecting a breed there are many things to consider, but a good shelter or hutch is a very important factor for all of them. Even though rabbits can acclimate well to cold and some heat, they need to be protected from direct sun, wind, rain and predators.

The size of the rabbit will determine how big a cage or pen they'll need. Rabbits should be able to move about freely to get good daily exercise. Some owners have enclosed runs for their rabbits. A yard pen is fun to set up and with supervision it allows the rabbit the joy of outside exercise. Rabbits are very versatile, and they can live in the house, the basement, garage, shed or in a good outside hutch.
