bretoni

Bretoni are a breed of domestic rabbit originating from Brittany, France. They are known for their docile temperament and are often kept as pets. Bretoni rabbits are medium-sized, with mature adults typically weighing between 4 to 5 pounds. They have a compact body, short, erect ears, and a rounded head. Their fur is dense and soft, and they come in a variety of colors, including white, black, chocolate, and blue.

The Bretoni breed was developed in the early 20th century by crossing local French rabbits with other breeds to achieve specific traits. They were initially bred for meat and fur production but later gained popularity as pets due to their gentle nature. Bretoni rabbits are generally healthy and have a lifespan of 7 to 10 years when properly cared for. They require a balanced diet of hay, pellets, and fresh vegetables, as well as a clean living environment. Due to their calm disposition, they are well-suited for families with children.
