English Spot rabbits are generally friendly, mild, and docile with an even temperament, making them excellent family pets. They are affectionate and enjoy spending time with their owners, though they may not like frequent handling or being picked up. Gentle socialization helps them tolerate handling, and they thrive with companionship and adequate space for exercise.
The cost of an English Spot rabbit usually ranges between £15 and £55, depending on the breeder and location. While the initial purchase price is affordable, prospective owners should consider ongoing monthly expenses for food, veterinary care, bedding, and toys, which can range from approximately £140 to £475.
English Spot rabbits kept indoors typically live between 5 and 9 years, although with proper care, nutrition, and veterinary attention, some may live longer.
English Spot rabbits are a medium-sized breed generally weighing between 5 and 8 pounds (2.3 to 3.6 kilograms) when fully grown, making them well suited for indoor living with sufficient space for exercise.
