Given that any breed of rabbit can make a great pet, there are two
factors to take into consideration before choosing a rabbit.
First: the
size of the rabbit and
secondly: the amount of care it requires.
Large
rabbits may be affectionate, laid back pets but they do require large
cages, more room to exercise and more food. Very large breeds may be
difficult to handle and prone to problems. Wool breeds require daily
grooming. Some small breeds don’t do as well with young children as some
of the slightly larger and hardier breeds like Dutch and Mini Lop.
Another thing to consider is age. It is probably best for a first
time rabbit owner to adopt a mature rabbit between one and three years
old. Which has already been spayed or neutered. Older rabbit is easier
to house train and less destructive.
Some of the most low maintence rabbit breeds which weighing no more
than 6 1/2 pounds fully grown are : Mini Rex, Holland Lop, Dutch, Dwarf
Hotot, Mini Lop, Mini Satin, Netherland Dwarf, and Polish.
