Blanc de Termonde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blanc de Termonde is breed of domestic rabbit that originated in Belgium[1] It was developed from Flemish Giant and Beveren stock,[2] originally for commercial meat production.
The Blanc de Termonde is an albino rabbit; therefore, its coat is white and its eyes are pink ("ruby-eyed white"). It weighs 4.0–5.5 kilograms (8.8–12.1 lb).[1]
This breed is currently recognised by the British Rabbit Council (BRC),[3] by whom it is designated as rare. This breed is not currently recognised by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.[4] In Italy, this breed is known as the Bianco di Termonde and is considered rare.[1]
The Blanc de Termonde's diet should consist of mostly grass hay supplemented with leafy greens and a small amount of commercial rabbit pellets.[5]
