Plastic rabbit

Do you need a toy for someone who loves rabbits, but is allergic to either pet hair or the synthetic fur used on stuffed animals? This small hollow plastic bunny could be the right toy for you.

Our realistic-looking hare (also called a jackrabbit, although the length of his ears makes us think he is a regular rabbit) is made of hollow plastic and measures 4 inches from nose to tail and 2 5/8 inches high to the tips of its ears. The body is moulded with a fur-like pattern and details that almost make it seem real. Its name is moulded into the underside. This sturdy, light-weight plastic bunny is great for school projects, toys, novelties, animal collections, party favors and more. Our plastic hare is for decoration or play only. You can make a terrific shoebox diorama using this and other plastic creatures from our gift shop. Best of all, there is no mess, no feeding, and no tank or cage cleaning :)

About Lop-Eared Rabbits or Long-Eared Rabbits

The lop-eared rabbit or long-eared rabbit is the oldest breed of domesticated rabbit. These rabbits originated in England, were then raised in Europe - especially in Holland, and later became popular in America in the 1970's. There are eight different breeds. They were at first bred for meat but later became exclusively a show rabbit. These long-earred rabbits can be kept at home and be trained to use a litter box, but they like chewing on things, so care must be taken not to give them access to electrical cords. Unfortunately, lop-eared rabbits have lost their ability to move their ears independently. They are unable to use hearing as a way to detect potential threats, unlike their erect-eared cousins. This does not mean that lop-eared rabbits do not hear as well. It just means that lop-eared rabbits cannot rotate their ears to capture as many sounds. In a domestic situation, this rarely causes any problems for the lop-eared bunny. The ears are also used to release body heat to keep the bunny cool.
