There are so many different types of rabbits used for pets. Long ear, short ear, short hair, long hair, dwarf, giant, and more. These are just a few examples.
It’s important to distinguish rabbits that are raised for pets versus rabbits that are not. Where you choose to purchase your rabbit will also impact the type of rabbit you have access to.
Most rabbit breeds used as pets today come from several varieties of European rabbits. Just like dogs they have become domesticated and many varieties have come through specialized breeding.
There are over 50 different breeds of rabbits recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.
I have always loved rabbits. A rabbit was my very first pet. Since owning my first rabbit I have gone on to own many more. I look forward to being able to get my kids their very own pet rabbits.
Enjoyed reading your website. Very well done. All the breeds of rabbits make wonderful pets. It’s just a matter of finding one that fits your lifestyle and family!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I’m having a hard time finding information. How can I protect my house from roaches, ants, etc, without harming our indoor rabbits?
Any info will be appreciated…thanks!

I used to have a completely grey rabbit. Long pointy ears. I think he was a mix. Greatest rabbit I ever had. Can you please post some pictures and more information. Thanks!

Hi Bill,
I would be real careful about a lot of pesticide companies that claim they use “natural pesticide” this is an overused word in that industry. Here is a link to some tablets that work real well. Just keep them out of reach of your rabbit and kids. I have not used it before but many pet owners will attest to it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B4ZNGA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001B4ZNGA&linkCode=as2&tag=petrabbitshomepage-20
This also looks like possibly an even safer solution
