Havana Rabbit

The Havana rabbit breed made its debut in the Netherlands in 1898. The Fee de Marbourg, Perlefee, and Gris Perle de Hal are three breeds that are descended from this one. The American Rabbit Breeders Association recognizes Havanas in five color varieties: chocolate, lilac, black, blue, and broken. Their weight ranges from 4.5 to 6.5 pounds on average.

Their bodies are rounded and short. A half-circle should be formed by the top line as it rises over the hips and falls to the tail. They feature medium-sized eyes, short ears that are quite close together, short, straight legs with dark toenails, and a short head with full cheeks. The short, velvety flyback fur of this type of rabbit requires little upkeep to be in excellent condition. Indoor rabbits can be brushed once a week using a slick brush to minimize shedding, and when shedding season arrives, brushings can be increased to twice weekly.

As long as they are allowed the time and space to properly socialize on their own terms, rabbits are charming animals who quickly form bonds with their human families. Havana rabbits make wonderful pets and show animals because they like having free range of the house or a fenced-in yard. These medium-sized rabbits are fully capable of sprinting around indoors or outside and letting out a small mid-air hop, while not being the most active breed by any means.
