The light brown rabbit is typically classified as a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit, though there are a few variations. The Netherland Dwarf Rabbit (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) is one of the smallest breeds in the world and comes in a variety of colors, including light brown. It has an average length of about 7-9 inches and weighs 2-3 pounds when fully grown. This breed was developed in Europe during the mid-20th century by Dutch breeders who wished to combine small size with good fur quality and coloration.
