ABOUT OUR RABBITS
Kolb Family Farm has many many bunnies available. We have several different breeds to choose from including New Zealand, Californian, Mini Rex, Flemish/Chinchilla, Continental Giants, Lionhead, and Lops - French, English, Holland and Velveteen and Netherland Dwarfs. Each of our rabbits is spoiled with delicious hay, pellets and fresh greens when available. On cold winter days they get some corn mixed in to help keep them warm. If they loose too much fur after making their nest, they get some yummy BOSS to add oils and invite fur growth back. Each of our buns gets their own space to call their own and we have nice grow out cages for the littles to learn and grow. All our bunnies are held daily and are used to kids, and other animals. Check our our products page and see who we have available to add to your family.
NEW ZEALAND RABBITS
The New Zealand is a breed of rabbit, which despite the name, is American in origin.New Zealand rabbits are available in five colors white, red, black, blue, and broken. They average 10–12 lb 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 for meat production. They are also bred as pet rabbits. New Zealand rabbits have a broad, muscular, and deep body of medium length, with well-rounded haunches. The ears stand straight up rather than being lopped. Fur is of normal length and "flyback," which means that when brushed in the wrong direction, it immediately returns to the original position. New Zealands are medium to large rabbits. Female rabbits may have a dewlap, a fatty flap of fur below the chin which female rabbits sometimes use as a source of fur for lining their nest. New Zealand rabbits were likely developed in California from a mix of breeds, possibly including Belgian hares and Flemish giants. They were developed for their quick growth rate and meat type. Fryers are slaughtered at 8-12 weeks, and older rabbits are sold as roasters. New Zealand is commonly used as a meat rabbit with a high feed to meat ratio with fine bones, and are considered one of the best breeds for meat production.
