FAQs

What rabbits are native to England?

The native wild rabbit species found throughout England is the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), which was introduced by the Normans in the 12th century. These rabbits are common across England except for some smaller islands and are characterised by their sandy or grey-brown coat, long ears without black tips, white tail, and typically weigh between 1.2 to 2 kg.

What is an English rabbit?

The term 'English rabbit' usually refers to domestic rabbit breeds developed in England rather than wild rabbits. A notable example is the English Spot rabbit, a breed known for its distinctive spotted coat pattern with markings on the eyes, ears, spine, and cheeks, and a calm, friendly temperament making it ideal as a pet.

Are English Spot rabbits good pets?

Yes, English Spot rabbits are excellent pets due to their friendly, inquisitive, and docile nature. They have a calm temperament which suits families and first-time rabbit owners well. They also have short coats that require minimal grooming and benefit from social companionship rather than being kept alone.

How long do English Spot rabbits live indoors?

English Spot rabbits kept as indoor pets typically live between 5 to 9 years, which is significantly longer than wild rabbits, thanks to better care and protection from predators and environmental hazards indoors.
