Pawsome Moments Captured

While we do not raise pure New Zealand rabbits, we've chosen to cross our New Zealand does with our Californian buck and we couldn't be happier with the results. This mix maintains the size and excellent qualities of both breeds. Mostly producing black kits with incredibly dense, soft and shiny fur that we love. Their temperament remains calm and friendly as should be in both breeds. This cross has proven to be hardy, efficient and well-suited for our program.

New Zealand rabbits are generally hardy and resilient, but like all rabbits they thrive with proper care and attention. Rabbits 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.
