Havana Rabbit
Photo Courtesy: Southern Hares Rabbitry If you want a really laid back, sweet, and calm bunny...the Havana rabbit is the one for you!This bunny is a real beauty with its soft, shiny and rich colored fur coat. Besides being a nice show rabbit, the Havana rabbits are generally considered to make excellent pets. They are one of the most well-rounded rabbits with a sweet docile personality.

Background:
Havana rabbits originated in Europe and were first bred in Holland in 1898. Though the actual original parentage is uncertain, it is known that they first showed up in the litter of a female Dutch Rabbit. Who the father was, however, is simply not known. They were introduce into the United States in 1916 and in Eastern Canada in the 1980's.
Description:
These guys are considered to be a medium breed rabbit and
will weigh between 4.5 to 6.5 lbs. when full grown. They have a short,
rounded body, fairly short upright ears and short soft dense fur that
is easy to care for.
Color differences:
The Havana rabbits color is very dark and intense
as compared to most other breeds. The colors are Chocolate, Black,
and Blue.

| I am one out of three havana breeders in the state of NJ. I have a blue havana, who is my main havana followed by many others, and I'm expecting babies for the second time from her. I'm trying to open my stock to many more of this breed. Out of all my rabbits my havanas are the sweetest.

| This year in early april, a friend and I were at the races when we saw some rabbits in despicable conditions. I purchased a little black bundle with the last money I had, without knowing her breed. She is now known to be a havana. I love Ebony so much, and she loves me too. But shes never learned to trust anyone else but me. She is now pregnant and is expecting on the 31st of december! I wouldn't trade her for the world!

| The black one looks exactly like my Rabbit, called Shadow, who died recently. It says he is a show rabbit just like Shadow. How freaky!

| I recently got this 12 week old spunky black bunny from the state fair. I was told it's a silver marten but he looks so much more like a Havana. He's all black with silver hair tips. His body shape and size is that of a Havana as well. His name is Bandit and he's a real sweetheart. He has a lot of nicks and marks from being attacked by the other bunnies he was pinned with, but they all seem to be healing well. He's super lovable with me, but doesn't like many other people. He acts shy even around my mom but when it's just me and him, he's a hoppin fool and does the "Bunny 500" around my room. But he's also a big cuddler and will jump on my bed and crawl up next to me for attention. I've only had him for about a week and I already love him to pieces. He's spoiled rotten but he deserves it. His last owner didn't seem to take very good care of him, but I surely will. He's already a happy, getting healthy bunny.
