Californian Rabbit For Sale

The Californian rabbit is a popular domestic breed known for its striking white fur and distinctive markings. Originating in California, this breed was developed in the early 1920s by George West with the purpose of creating a rabbit that had both good meat quality and a beautiful pelt. Typically, the Californian rabbit has a pure white coat accented by dark markings on its ears, nose, feet, and tail, which are usually dark chocolate or black. This coloration is due to a type of gene called the Himalayan gene, which is temperature sensitive, leading to darker pigment in cooler areas of the body. Aside from their looks, Californian rabbits are known for their calm and friendly temperament, making them excellent pets. They are medium to large-sized rabbits and are often raised in 4-H and FFA projects because they grow quickly and adapt easily to different environments.
