FAQs

What are the characteristics of Deilenaar rabbits?

Deilenaar rabbits are a Dutch breed known for their dense, silky, deep red-brown agouti fur with distinctive black 'mackereling' or wavy ticking patterns. They have a compact, muscular body with strong upright ears about 11 cm long. Their coat features darker colouring on the chest and legs with creamy undertones on the belly and some red stripes near the groin. Medium-sized and friendly, they are intelligent, relatively low maintenance, and can be trained to use a litter tray, making them excellent pets.

They bond well with humans if handled gently from a young age but may not be ideal for families with very young children as they can be easily startled. Their typical lifespan ranges from 7 to 9 years.
