And, My Favorite Types of Rabbits
is...





If we take a look at some books about rabbits (and hare), there are so many types of rabbits or breeds that we know to date. In general, we can say there are two big categories of rabbits: free rabbits and domestic rabbits, in which the pet rabbits are belong to.

Two pictures below show you the contract between both. A free rabbit was freely eating grasses and flowers in the savanna, while my rabbit Pucca, a domestic rabbit was exploring the front yard.

There are many different types of domestic rabbits based on their size or weight…

dwarf-rabbit_lionheadDwarf rabbits are 0.9 – 1.5 Kg (2 – 3.3 lbs) such as:
Lionhead, Holland Lop, Netherland Dwarf, Polish, Polish Dwarf, Dwarf Hotot, Jersey Wooly, etc.
small-rabbit_dwarf-lopSmall rabbits are 1.5 – 2.5 Kg (3.3 – 5.5 lbs) such as:
Dutch, American Fuzzy Lop, Mini Lop, Dwarf Lop, Himalayan, Mini Rex, etc.
medium-rabbit_rexMedium rabbits are 2.5 – 4 Kg (5.5 – 8.8 lbs) such as:
Chinchilla, English Angora, French Angora, Rex, Belgian Hare, etc.
large-rabbit_new-zealand-whiteLarge rabbits are 4 - 5 Kg (8.8 – 11 lbs) such as:
English Lop, Satin, Californian, New Zealand White, etc.
giant-rabbit_french-lopHuge/giant rabbits are 5 – 8 Kg (5 – 17.6 lbs) or more:
French Lop, Flemish Giant, British Giant, Checkered Giant, etc.


Beside dwarf, S-M-L and giant size of rabbits, also known some types of mini rabbits. They are called mini because they are similar to original types except the size that smaller or much smaller. For example Mini Rex is Rex rabbit that smaller in size, and Mini Lop is miniature of typical Lop rabbit.

Some breeds have very unique sign so we will recognize them at a glance. The Angora is appealing of its long and wooly hair like Angora cat. The opposite is the Rex rabbit who has very short hair with unique soft velvet-like fur. And you will know it’s a Lop when you see the rabbit with distinctive floppy ears. The Dutch rabbit has unique color pattern like panda bear.

Wow.. so many types of rabbits! Which one is your favorite as pet rabbit? Share with us yours…
