They also make great pets thanks to their calm, docile, and social temperament, which is ideal for families and children. Additionally, they are used in research and the fur industry because their white fur is easy to dye.

New Zealand rabbits typically weigh between 9 to 12 pounds (4 to 5.4 kg), with females usually slightly larger than males.
