Jersey Wooly Rabbit
A domestic breed of rabbit with a bold head and easy-care wool fur, the Jersey Wooly weighs about 3 pounds. They are renowned for their sweet demeanor and docility.
A Jersey Wooly weighs 2.5 to 3.5 pounds at maturity, with 3 lbs. being optimum. They have a slim body build. According to the ARBA Standard of Perfection, 3 inch ears are the longest they can be for display stock. The head and ears of a Jersey Wooly have the most points, which should be made clear while displaying one. The breed is known fondly as the "Mug Head" due to its bold and squarish head. The majority of Jersey Woolys have highly amiable personalities, and these bunnies are quite lively and cuddly. They can be playful explorers or laid-back lap bunnies as pets.
The care and genetics of a Jersey Wooly can affect its lifespan, among other things. When given the right care, a Jersey Wooly frequently lives for 7 to 10 years or longer. There is a widespread misconception that people who have had litter pass away more quickly, however, there is no evidence to support this. Many rabbit breeders report that healthy Jersey Woolies with numerous litters live just as long as Jersey Woolies are kept as pets who have never given birth. It is also thought that spaying and neutering these rabbits will lengthen their lives by many years. Without neutering or spaying, rabbits are susceptible to life-threatening tumors and cancer. The greatest method to reduce surgical problems is to work with a knowledgeable, skilled exotics veterinarian.
