The Brittania Petite Rabbit, called the British Polish Rabbit or the “Polish” Rabbit in Britain, is not a “dwarf” but it is a very small rabbit. Along with the Netherland Dwarf it is one of the smallest rabbits.

Britannia Petites are small, delicate-looking rabbits. They have fairly long, slender, arched bodies similar to a hare. They have short, upright ears and a wedge-shaped face. They stand up tall due to long front legs.

Britannia Petites tend to be more high strung than many breeds. Their standard of perfection calls for a lively rabbit, and that a temperamental Britannia Petite is sometime to be expected. They are exceptionally curious and require toys and human interaction to prevent boredom.

Britannia Petites have short, fine, dense fur that lies close to the body. It has a silky texture to it. Grooming is fairly easy with a weekly brushing by a slicker brush being all that is needed normally. During the shedding season, bi-weekly brushings may be required.

Generally more high strung than other small rabbits, Brittania Petite Rabbits have a vigorous nature. They will take gentle perseverance to tame. With patience however, you can be rewarded with a most delightful pet.
