Thrianta Breed Info

 

"The Fire of the Fancy" is the nickname of this unique breed of rabbit, so named because of the rich fiery red shades in their coat. Best described of having the rich hues of the most beautiful Irish Setter dogs, this compact breed is considered the stunning redhead of the bunny world. The color of their coat is deep, carried well down the hair shaft to the skin, though a slightly lighter color is allowed on the belly, underside of the tail, footpads and eye circles. Toenails should be dark horn in color and the eyes of the Thrianta rabbit are always brown.

While the average weight of a senior (adult) Thrianta is about 5-6 pounds, they are considered a fancy breed. Their body is small and very compact, with a gentle arc from the head up over the hindquarters. Bucks have a decidedly masculine appearance with broad features whereas does are more feminine, but should still possess a nice compacted look.

 

Thrianta rabbits make wonderful pets because they are known for their gentle dispositions and inquisitive natures. Not an overly large rabbit, yet not so tiny as to be frail, they are a good starter rabbit for children or people who are interested in breeding rabbits for show purposes. While the Thrianta was once difficult to find, they are growing in popularity and no longer quite the challenge to acquire.

They always greet us at the front of the hutch ready for attention. While the Mini Rex always run to the back of their hutches, and while they are lovable once we take them out, getting them out isn't always as easy as it is with the Thriantas.
