Physical Characteristics
The Siamese Rabbit features a rounded face, short ears, and relatively short limbs. It has short fur with a gradient color pattern that transitions smoothly across its body.
Coat and Color Traits
The most distinctive trait of color-changing rabbits is that their coat color changes with temperature. The fur tends to darken at the nose, ears, and tips of the limbs when the weather is colder. The gradual color shift between the darker extremities and the main body's lighter color forms the classic gradient that defines the Siamese Rabbit's appearance.
Temperament
Note: Each rabbit is an individual—their personality and affinity for humans vary from one to another. Descriptions are for reference only.
Additional Information
The Siamese Rabbit carries a mix of genes from various breeds, resulting in wide variation in color and appearance between generations. Because of this, it has not yet been recognized as a standard breed by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA). In Taiwan, the most commonly seen Siamese Rabbit color varieties are white-gray, yellow-brown, and black-yellow.
