The New Zealand is a breed of rabbit, which despite the name, is American in origin. The breed originated in California and is recognized in five colors by the ARBA: white, red, black, blue, and broken. Little Creek Farms has white, black, blue, red, and broken colors although the whites are predominate. They average 10–12 pounds, with the does being slightly larger than the bucks. New Zealands are bred for meat, pelts, show, and laboratory uses, being the most commonly used breed of rabbit both for testing and meat production.
New Zealand rabbits have broad, muscular, and deep bodies of medium length, with well-rounded haunches. A noticeable characteristic of the white New Zealand is their bright ruby pink eye color. For this reason, they are often described as REW (ruby eyed white).
At Little Creek Farms, we have pedigreed New Zealand bucks and does, so we market our New Zealands as show rabbits. Contact Larry and Linda at 903-860-7511 for help picking out your New Zealand rabbit.
