Silver Fox Rabbits

The Silver Fox rabbit is a striking and distinguished breed, known for its impressive size, luxurious coat, and gentle demeanor. Senior does typically weigh between 10 to 12 pounds, while bucks range from 9 to 11 pounds. Their body structure is well-balanced, featuring full shoulders and hindquarters that contribute to their robust and commercial build.

What truly sets the Silver Fox apart is its extraordinary fur—longer than the average rabbit's, with a slightly coarse texture designed to mimic the pelt of a fox. This dense coat develops its signature even silvering gradually, typically reaching its full effect around 6 to 7 months of age. The black variety exhibits a deep, rich color down to the skin, complemented by a slate-blue under color. Silver-tipped guard hairs elegantly dust the body, creating a breathtaking shimmering effect.

One of the most unique and fascinating qualities of the Silver Fox’s fur is its ability to "stand up" when stroked backward—a rare trait in the rabbit world. A simple stroke from head to tail restores its natural position, a detail that both breeders and enthusiasts find mesmerizing.
