What is a Californian rabbit?

Californians are a commercial type of domesticated commercial breed, mostly used for meat production. They are muscular, with wide shoulders and deep hindquarters. They are most easily recognize by their white body and head, red eyes, and black-ish points on their ears, nose, tail, and feet.

How do I care for my Californian rabbit?

Weekly grooming is usually all Californian’s need, but when they are molting a bit more time with brushing may be needed to keep them looking sharp. Oddly, however, the markings of this breed are “temperature sensitive”. In warm weather, their points tend to lighten up and in cold weather, they darken. One trick that breeders living in warm climates do is to keep their Californian herd in chilled or air conditioned areas. The average size of cages used for this breed is 30 x 30, or 30 x 36 for does with liters. Free feeding hay is helpful, in addition to rabbit-safe vegetables, plus high quality pellets and fresh clean water.
