Rabbit Facts

Large breeds of rabbits live an average of 3-5 years, while small breeds (such as Netherland Dwarfs) live from around 6-9 years, depending on the conditions that rabbit is living in and the condition of the rabbit itself.

Rabbits have 28 teeth!

Newborn rabbits are often called 'popples', and 'kits' when they get older.

In rabbit showing/breeding terms, a rabbit that is 6 months and under is called a 'junior buck/doe', and over 6 months is considered a 'senior' buck or doe.

Rabbits are not actually apart of the rodent family, but the Lagomorgh family.

Baby rabbits, or popples, are born blind, deaf, and with pretty much no fur.

Netherland Dwarfs come in 32 different colours that are recognised by the RCNZ, with some being Self Black, Smoke Pearl Marten, Black Otter, Sable, Chinchilla, and Tort.
