Chinchilla Rabbit

Chinchilla Rabbits are a group of three rabbit breeds that have been bred for a coat that resembles that of chinchillas. Despite their name, they are not related to chinchillas, a type of rodent, and cannot interbreed with them. Rabbits are lagomorphs. A mutation diluted the yellow pigment in the hairs to almost white, changing in this way the color of the fur of the wild rabbit (agouti) into chinchilla. The Standard, American, and Giant Chinchillas are the three chinchilla rabbit breeds recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA).

The chinchilla rabbit is well-known all over the world for its exquisitely lovely and fluffy coat. It is understandable why many people consider this breed to be among the cutest available. One of the richest grays may be seen in the long, glossy coat of the chinchilla. This coat is warm, rich, and as silky to the touch.
