Breed-related health conditions

There are some conditions that are common in specific breeds. In particular giant, lop-eared, long-haired, shorter haired and short-nosed breeds. This is due to genetics and how each breed has developed over many, many years. If you own one of these breeds, it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for any signs of these conditions so you can be one step ahead, and if you are considering getting rabbits as pets, you may want to look to avoid these breeds.
