Karma Creek Rabbitry!
We are pleased to raise New Zealand White and NZ colored rabbits, Flemish Giants, and commercial hybrid rabbits.
The NZW, colored NZ and Commercial rabbits are produced primarily for meat. They are large, easy going rabbits that have large litters and are efficient to raise.
The Flemish Giants add large size and quick growth when crossed with the other breeds. They have great temperaments - so laid back and easy going!
Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing rabbits for pets, breeding stock, raw pet food, or your table.
About the New Zealand White and Colored Rabbit from Wikipedia
New Zealand white rabbits were bred for their meat and fur, but their body type helped to contribute to them becoming the favorite breed ofdomestic rabbit. New Zealand whites have well-rounded bodies; slender and muscular faces with round cheeks; large, long back feet; and small, short front feet (Rubins). They have long perforated ears that stand straight up. Unlike the thick, snowy fur on their bodies, their ears have shorter fur that allows the delicate pale pink of their skin to show through (Rubins). The most noticeable characteristic of New Zealand white rabbits is their bright eyes, which range in shade from pale pink to bright ruby red (Rubins).
New Zealand white rabbits have large, broad, and muscular bodies. Bucks (males) weigh between 8-10 pounds, while the does (females) weigh between 9-12 pounds (Verhallen 23-35). In addition to their greater size, females are distinguished by the presence of a dewlap, which is flap of fur below the chin that is pulled for a nesting box during pregnancies.
New Zealand rabbits are available in three ARBA-recognized colors: white, red, and black. Although, cross breeding can result in many different combinations of these three basic pigmentations. There are efforts with certificates of development on a blue and broken variety. The Red has bright golden red fur with a slightly harsher fat. One of the larger breed of rabbit, it can weight anywhere from 9 lb. to 12 lb (5 kg). New Zealands are a breed that can be used for meat, pelts, show, and laboratory uses.
