New Zealand Bulk Rabbits Highlights

  • Rabbit Breeds & Characteristics: Rabbits come in numerous breeds, each with distinct characteristics regarding size, temperament, and purpose. Common breeds include Flemish Giants for meat and size, and Netherland Dwarfs for pets. Understanding breed traits is key for selecting the right rabbit.
  • Housing Requirements: Rabbits need spacious, secure housing that protects them from predators and extreme weather. Hutches should be well-ventilated and provide enough room for them to stand up, stretch, and move around. Indoor housing requires litter training and rabbit-proofing.
  • Dietary Needs: A rabbit's diet should primarily consist of high-quality hay, which aids digestion and wears down their continuously growing teeth. Fresh vegetables and a limited amount of pellets supplement this. Clean water must always be available.
  • Gestation and Litter Size: Female rabbits (does) have a gestation period of about 31 days. Litters can range from 1 to 14 kits, with an average of 5 to 8. Proper care for the mother and kits is crucial during this period.
  • Lifespan and Maturity: The average lifespan of a domestic rabbit is 8-12 years, though some can live longer with excellent care. Rabbits reach sexual maturity between 4 to 9 months of age, depending on the breed.
  • Common Health Concerns: Rabbits are prone to certain health issues like dental problems, gastrointestinal stasis, and respiratory infections. Regular veterinary check-ups and a proper diet are essential for prevention and early detection.
