Dwarf Hotots, like Dutch rabbits, are recognized for their distinctive colors. Except for a little circle of color around their eyes, they are dressed entirely in white.
For years, the ARBA only permitted Hotots with black spots to compete in exhibits, but recently, the ARBA has allowed animals with chocolate spots to compete as well.
They weren't always considered a dwarf breed. In the early 1900s, the bigger Blanc de Hotot was bred to become a black-eyed, white-haired rabbit that could be utilized for both fur and meat.
Dwarf breeds grew increasingly popular when both rabbit meat and fur fell out of favor, and more people have started keeping these species as pets, resulting in the creation of the Dwarf Hotot breed.
Hotots are little, with upright ears and a weight of less than 1,36 kg.
They are usually outgoing, but they can be gloomy at times. If you can get over the short grumpy periods, they're a terrific breed for anyone looking for a bunny who enjoys hugs and being pet frequently.
