hechos notables
Individual bucks have weighed over 12 kg — among the largest rabbit breeds in the world.
Recomendaciones de cría
- Slow to mature; first mating at 6–10 months and not before.
- Requires significantly larger cages — minimum 0.6 m² per breeder.
- High risk of pododermatitis (sore hocks) on wire floors — provide solid resting mats.
- Reproductive efficiency is lower than intensive meat hybrids — count on 4–5 litters/year.
- Good for size-improvement crosses; rarely competitive as pure meat.
