Californian rabbit

The Californian, also known as the California White, is a breed of domestic rabbit developed in the early 1920s by George West in Southern California. He crossed Himalayan breeds and the Standard Chinchilla rabbit breed and then crossed the offspring with New Zealand Whites. The purpose of this breed was to have a good meat and fur breed, but are also raised for show purposes. The breed did not become popular for about 15 years after development.

The Californian rabbit has big ears (although not as large as the ears of Flemish Giants) and is large in size, weighing around 10 to 12 pounds. This breed's coloration is similar to the Himalayan, with a white body and colored points. The variety (color) is normally white with spots and they don't normally have any other color to them. The does usually get up to 12 pounds and the bucks only get up to 10-11 pounds.

Commercial rabbit pellets are often recommended, though this is a disputed claim amongst rabbit rescue shelters and commercial breeders. Pellets are high in fat and protein needed for a healthy rabbit.Feed 1/4 cup of pellets per 5 pounds of body weight every day. Ensure a steady supply of fresh water or the rabbit may not eat the feed ration. For rabbits under 8 months of age, feed unlimited plain grass pellets. House rabbits may be fed 2 cups of fresh rinsed greens, (NO iceberg lettuce) vegetables (stay away from greens high in iron) should be given daily, and fresh fruit sparingly. Free choice hay, such as timothy-grass, should be unlimited and changed daily. Alfalfa hay should not be offered free choice to rabbits over 8 months of age because it is too rich in calcium.

Outside housing should protect the rabbit from wind and rain/snow. Most breeders use wire cages to keep rabbits clean and healthy. Cages are typically 30 inches by 30 inches in size, with nursing does and grow out pens being 30 inches by 36 inches. 14 gauge GAW wire is ideal, as the thicker diameter provides more support for heavy breeds. A resting mat, such as a sheet of wood or slotted plastic, can be placed in the cage to reduce chances of sore hocks. The floor wire should be 1" x 0.5" welded wire, and the walls should be either 1"X 1" or 1" x 2". Never use hardware cloth for flooring as this is too rough on feet and will cause sore hocks. Poultry netting should also be avoided as it is often insecure. Avoid using treated wood, cedar, or painted wood as this can be toxic to rabbits. Intact rabbits should be kept in individual cages once they are over 4 months of age to prevent fighting and accidental breeding.
