Large Rabbits

Large rabbit breeds generally weigh between 9 to 12 pounds, offering a good balance of size and manageable care. Breeds like the New Zealand, Checkered Giant, and American Chinchilla are popular examples. These rabbits are known for their sturdy build, calm demeanor, and are often used for pets or show animals.

Before adopting a large rabbit, it's important to consider their housing needs. They require spacious enclosures, plenty of room to move, and daily exercise to stay healthy. Large rabbits also have bigger appetites, meaning you’ll need to provide more hay, pellets, and fresh vegetables.

Some challenges include the need for strong cages or pens, as large rabbits are strong and may damage weaker enclosures. Grooming needs vary by breed, with some, like the American Chinchilla, needing more attention to their thick coats. Regular veterinary care is crucial to monitor their health, particularly for their joints and teeth.

Popular large breeds include the Californian, Silver Fox, and Palomino, all known for their gentle nature and hardy constitution.
