The Lilac Breed of Rabbit:
Baby boy, "Kale" at 2 months old.
Originally bred in the UK around 1913, the now less common Lilac breed of rabbit is often confused with other breeds, which may also have a lilac variety.
Lilacs are a medium-sized, compact rabbit that don't take too much room or feed, and are small enough for youth to handle.
Mature bucks 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 pounds and does 6 to 8 pounds.
Lilacs have a calm and friendly disposition, dense silky roll back coat, evenly dove gray-lilac to lavender color, with a pink tint to the surface and blue-gray eyes. Even the tail is this color and only the bottoms of its feet are white.
Pictures do not show a Lilac's coat color accurately-
Different lighting conditions varies their appearance.
If you change the angle slightly -They will look differently. It is like magic!
