New Zealand rabbits are a breed of rabbit, which despite the name, are of American origin. This breed originated in California from rabbits imported from New Zealand. New Zealand rabbits are available in four ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Association) recognized colors: [New Zealand white rabbit, New Zealand red rabbit, New Zealand black rabbit, and New Zealand Broken rabbit (color mingled with white)]. Although, cross breeding can result in many different combinations of the three basic pigmentations. The most common of these variations are Gold Tipped Steel and Chestnut Agouti. New Zealands are bred for meat, pelts, show, and laboratory uses, being the most used rabbit breed both for meat production and animal testing. They are also bred as pet rabbits.
