Our Californian Buns

The Californian rabbit is a versatile  breed valued for both meat production and as a friendly pet. Originally developed in the 1920th by George West in California. This breed was created by crossing Himalayan rabbits, Chinchillas and New Zealand whites to produce a rabbit with excellent meat quality and a calm temperament.

Californian rabbits are generally hardy and resilient, but like all rabbits they thrive with proper care and attention. Rabbits, including Californians, have delicate hearts and spines, making proper handling essential. 

A balanced diet, clean living environment, regulated temperature and regular health checks are key to keeping them happy and healthy. Rabbit's diet should consist mainly of high-quality hay, supplemented with pellets, fresh greens and clean water.
