Small Rabbit Breeds

Small rabbits are generaly considered to be under 2.5kg when they are full grown. Just because a rabbit is small does not mean that it will fit better in to a small hutch. Small bunny's still need plenty of space to live. If your bunny's going to be a house bunny, you'll need to be extra careful about spotting the places they could squeeze into to find something chewable.
