Florida White
Overview
The Florida White is a small rabbit breed, reaching up to about 6 lb. Rabbits commonly live 8–12 years — longer than many first-time owners expect.
Is the Florida White right for you?
A good match if — you can give a rabbit space, a companion and daily care; you have limited space but still want a hands-on pet; you're new to rabbits.
Think twice if — you expected a low-effort "starter" pet — rabbits are not.
What a Florida White needs from you
Rabbits are social animals that do best in a bonded pair and should never be kept fully alone. A Florida White needs a moderate amount of space to run and stretch, a hay-based diet, daily cleaning and moderate day-to-day upkeep. Check nails and coat regularly. Most rabbits dislike being picked up, so handling should be calm and on their terms.
