Rabbits are intelligent social animals who require caring, attentive and affectionate keepers.
Rabbit breeds vary in size, coat and temperament. Smaller breeds such as Netherland dwarf, Polish, Dutch and English breeds are perhaps more suitable for children to care for as larger breeds such as the Californian, the Chinchilla Giganta, the New Zealand White and the Flemish Giant are more difficult to handle and require more space. Most rabbits have an average life span of 7 to 12 years. Spaying and Neutering Please do not breed rabbits. It is more difficult than you might think to find good, long term homes for the offspring.
