Curiosities about rabbits

We all know how important it is to have our animals identified and, depending on the species of pet or autonomous community, this is obligatory. But, what kind of identifications are there for pets? What can we do if this identification is damaged? Which animals can we identify and which cannot? We will find out in the following article.

The ‘Dwarf Lop’ (also called the ‘Dwarf Belier’) is one of the best known pet rabbit breeds and, at the same time, confused with mongrels that are either overweight or have strange characteristics.  Particularly popular in the UK, this breed is noted for its calm and extremely peaceful nature, and we will get to know it better in the following article.

What is the vienna gene? The vienna gene is one of the most capricious, loved and hated colour genes in the world of fancy rabbit breeding; it can spoil an entire colour line or give it amazing and very attractive patterns for the public, but what is it and how common is it? In this article we will learn about it. 

The "Lionhead" breed is one of the best known breeds by hearsay and is defined as "a short haired rabbit with long hair on its head"; in reality, this is one of the rarest breeds and, in Spain today, there are absolutely no breeders who breed it, all the "Lionheads" that we can find in shops or shelters being mongrels known as "mixed fur".  In this article, we will find out what real Lionheads look like.

The Teddy Dwerg and the Angora rabbit are often confused if you don't have the right knowledge about fancy rabbit breeding, especially if you put a Teddy Dwerg and an Angora Dwerg (dwarf) next to each other.  How do they look alike and how do they differ? We can find out in this article. 

The Angora rabbit is an aristocratic, striking and beautiful breed. One of the most "known" breeds by hearsay but scarce in Spain.   Do you want to know it? You can do so in this article.

The Teddy Dwerg (misnamed "Teddy Bear") is a breed of domestic rabbit which is included in the "dwarf breeds", being the smallest breed of long-haired rabbits in existence.  Its sweet expression, small and rounded size and wide variety of colours make it one of the most striking rabbit breeds. In this article, you will get to know it well. 

When we are talking about pets whose destiny is to be human companions, proper socialisation is extremely important.  Socialisation starts with the breeder and continues with the owner, and brings us great benefits: from healthier animals to more pleasant coexistence.
