The Belgian Hare, often referred to as the "poor man's racehorse," originated in Belgium during the early 18th century. This breed was developed by crossing domestic rabbits with wild European rabbits, resulting in a strikingly slender and athletic build resembling a wild hare. Physically, the Belgian Hare is medium to large in size, weighing between 6 to 9.5 lbs, with long legs, a graceful arched back, and a glossy, chestnut-red coat accented with black ticking. Its long, upright ears and elongated head contribute to its distinctive appearance. Temperament-wise, the Belgian Hare is highly energetic, intelligent, and alert, requiring ample daily exercise and space. They can be nervous and are not typically lap rabbits, making them better suited for experienced owners. This breed thrives in calm environments and demands a proper diet rich in fibre along with regular vet care. In the UK, finding a Belgian Hare for sale can be challenging due to their rarity and critical conservation status. Their unique charm and lively personality make them a fascinating choice for pet hare enthusiasts who are prepared to meet their specific care needs.

No, the Belgian Hare is actually a domesticated rabbit breed, not a true hare, despite its name and appearance which resemble a wild hare.
