I have the opportunity to possibly get a Belgian Hare. Nothing is set yet as it does depend on transport and some other factors. Right now I want to get some other peoples experience with them and know a bit more about them. I am hoping to get a buck and would be using him for rabbit hopping. Depending on the rabbit, I might show, but there really aren't a lot of shows I would be able to attend and showing is not the main reason for getting the rabbit.
I have done some research, but still have a few questions.
What is the minimum cage size? Some sites say 24X48", but others say 24X72" is better. I do realize that they do need a larger cage, but what would be a good size.
Is their diet much different than other breeds? He would be kept inside and would not be bred, but I might keep him intact, at least for a while. Since they are active, do they need more or a higher protein feed than other breeds?
What is their personality like? The stuff I have read says they are intelligent, but are they people oriented, really friendly or what? I do realize that personality does depend on the individual and how they are raised, but what are they like generally?
What set them apart from other breeds as far as care goes?
Lots to think about and I don't even know if I am getting one.
