Californian Rabbits
The Californian breed of domestic rabbit was developed in the early 1920s by George West. Rabbit breeders in the United States
crossed Himalayan breeds and the Standard Chinchilla rabbit breed and New Zealand Whites. The purpose of this breed was to have
a good meat breed that also had nice fur. The breed did not become popular for at least 15 years after development. Today, the
Californian rabbit is the second most popular meat-producing breed in the world. The fur quality allows this rabbit to also be classified
as a fancy breed. The Californian rabbit has big ears and is moderate in size, weighing around 7 to 10 pounds. The original coloration of
this breed was very similar to the Himalayan rabbit, with a predominantly white body and a dark brown on the feet, nose, ears and tail.
They have pink eyes. Our Californians have absolutely AMAZING, gentle and friendly dispositions!
We currently have Californian x Satin Cross rabbits that will be available in mid- February 2012- $10 each from 6-8 weeks old.
