Blanc De Bouscat rabbits for sale in Northampton, North Northamptonshire

The Blanc De Bouscat, also known simply as the Bouscat Rabbit, is a majestic and large rabbit breed originating from the Bouscat region in France in the early 20th century. This breed was developed by M. Lafeuillade, combining traits from Angora, Flemish Giant, and other breeds to create a rabbit prized for its size and fur quality. Physically, the Blanc De Bouscat is notable for its pure brilliant white coat, dense and silky fur, and striking red eyes due to albinism. Adult rabbits typically weigh between 11 to 16 pounds and have a compact, muscular body with thick, vertical ears. Known for a calm, gentle, and docile temperament, they make excellent pets for those who have sufficient space and experience caring for large rabbits. Due to their size, they require spacious housing with areas for exercise and a diet rich in high-fibre hay, fresh greens, and quality pellets. While historically valued for meat and fur production, today they are primarily kept as show rabbits and companions. Because they are a rare breed outside France, potential owners should be prepared for the commitment involved in their specialised care and space needs.
