Are you looking for a rabbit? Maybe the Palomino is the right breed for you! Then again, maybe not! This is what we know about the Palomino...
| Personality | ||
|
The Palomino is THE "gentle giant". They are extremely docile creatures, possibly more so than New Zealands. Their size, like the New Zealand, seems to amaze pet owners! They usually grow up to beyond 10 pounds! They can handle more stress than smaller rabbits but will require more food, cage space, and manure control! | ||
