This bunny is a real beauty with its soft, shiny and rich colored fur coat. The Havana Rabbit is a very nice a nice show rabbit, but they are also generally considered to make excellent pets. They are one of the most well-rounded rabbits with a sweet docile personality.

Havana Rabbits are calm and very laid back. These sweet tempered bunnies will quickly bond with their owners. They enjoy receiving attention and affection.

Being on the smaller side of the medium sized rabbits, the quiet Havana rabbits need a minimal amount of space and they don't eat as much as the larger rabbits.

Background: Havana rabbits originated in Europe and were first bred in Holland in 1898. Though the actual original parentage is uncertain, it is known that they first showed up in the litter of a female Dutch Rabbit. Who the father was, however, is simply not known. They were introduce into the United States in 1916 and in Eastern Canada in the 1980's.

We have a dog, a cat, and a Havana rabbit. I am not one to really get into bunnies, but I must say this rabbit is so sweet..everything on this page is true. However, he is also very smart. We can let him go and he won't stray. He loves us and stays with us. We have already had him for 1 1/2/ years. He has never tried to bite or kick or run away from us. His name is Mocha because he is a mocha color. Havanas are great pets for large families.

I have a Havana Rabbit. I'm younger, and needed a nice, sweet rabbit to start out with. Yesterday, my friends mom brought a box home and it had two Havanas in it. I got first pick, and picked out a black one with brown eyes. I havent named him yet, but he's very sweet. He had been in a house fire, and the lady who gave them to my friends mom said her daughter didn't want them anymore. (And i have no idea why she didn't) Havanas are very sweet and loving. I love them to death now!

I currently have a havana. Though we can't tell the gender, we are sure she is female. I absolutely love her, but about five days ago something made her scream in the middle of the night. We suspect a spider. She is now paralyzed in her back side. Even though I don't know how much longer she'll live, I love her every day.

Hello, not scared by a spider, I think she may have broken her back. It is common with the breed. Mostly happens when they move too quickly the wrong way, flips and makes a bad twist. ... Brian

Hello, I have a bunny and I'm not totally sure if she is a Havana. She is black, and looks and acts like a Havana, but her weight seems a bit under. She is around only 4 pounds, but I can guarantee she is a Havana. Skittles, her name, is very playful. We put toys in her cage and you will hear her all night playing :) She has a laid back kind of personality but is VERY curious. She will even go by our cats and they are scared of her! Also, Skittles will bite anything she can come across. One time, she ripped a hole in my new leather purse!

Some of the bestest comments - here's the beef!

I have a chocolate Havana and absolutely adore him! He's now a year and a half old and I couldn't be happier!

He is incredibly intelligent (I had to move his food because he learned to open the cabinet) and ALWAYS ready to play! If it makes noise he LOVES throwing it to me so that I can roll it back. The only drawback to having such a smart bunny is that if he's bored, he shows it by chewing! He needs new and stimulating toys every month or so. The only thing he doesn't get bored of are toys that make noise or ones I can hide treats in.

Havanas are such a sweet breed. I rub my little man's head until he falls asleep; sometimes he even snores!

I had a dwarf rabbit before, but nothing compares to these Havanas!
