Rabbits are definitely one of the most adorable animal companions you can get. But did you know that they come in sizes ranging from dwarf to giant?

Those giant breeds can grow as large medium-sized dogs, while some mini ones can easily sit on the palm of your hand.

Some big rabbit breeds, such as the Flemish Giant, sometimes reach a weight of over 20 pounds. In contrast, the Netherland Dwarf weighs only around 2.5 pounds in adulthood. That’s how small mini rabbits can get.

Like other rabbit types, mini buns come in different sizes. They also have different personalities and care requirements.
