Himalayan Rabbit

One of the earliest kinds of rabbits, Himalayan rabbits have been around for thousands of years. Although their origin is uncertain, it has been determined that they originated in Asia and the Middle East. However, despite what their name says, it is improbable that they originated in the Himalayan mountain range.

Despite being an ancient breed, Himalayans are just recently becoming popular in showing circles. The Himalayan rabbit was originally described in a European publication in 1857, and by the end of the 19th century, Himalayans were being reared in Great Britain for exhibition. The Belgian hare boom, which started in 1898 and saw a sharp rise in the popularity of domestic rabbits, was when the Himalayan was eventually brought to the United States. Himalayan rabbits had started to show up at rabbit events across the nation by the time the boom ended in 1901. It's noteworthy to note that the pelt closely resembled an ermine's, and rabbit breeders rapidly became enamored with it since they could harvest the expensive fur to sell.

Their body is small and compact. Red, white, blue, black, black and tan, chocolate, lavender, and cinnamon are just a few of the many colors that Himalayan rabbits can be. The Himalayan rabbit is one of the most affectionate rabbit breeds in the world.
