Flemish Giant Rabbit

Tipping the scale at a whopping 22 pounds, this "Gentle Giant" is known as a universal rabbit (used for meat, show, coat, pet). It's not uncommon to see a Flemish Giant playing with dogs and even cuddling with them if they live together. Children of any age are encouraged to pet them, but not attempt to carry them due to their size.

Dutch Rabbit

Developed in England in the 1830s, the Dutch is one of the most popular breeds. Socializing is key for this energetic rabbit, who can become depressed if it spends too much time in its cage. Thanks to its easygoing attitude, children are more than welcomed to care for it.

Belgian Hare Rabbit

Tracing its roots back to the 18th century, the Belgian Hare is one of the oldest breeds. It thrives best outdoors with ample space and hay. It's considered high maintenance, mostly due to its nervous personality — known to easily spook if people don't properly announce themselves before approaching it.

American Rabbit

The rare breed is a great choice for first-time owners because of its calm, sweet nature. Young children, however, are not recommended to care for them since they are shy and may bite if not handled gently. With a great grooming routine and healthy diet, the American rabbit can live up to 12 years.
