Thrianta Rabbit 101: Part 1

The Thrianta Rabbit is a domesticated breed of rabbit that can trace its origins back to Holland.

It was there when a rabbit breeder by the name of H. Andreae wished to breed a rabbit that he would name in honor of the royal House of Orange. He did so by crossbreeding different kinds of domesticated rabbits, including Havana and the Tortoise Papillon. The result was the rabbit he eventually named after his hometown of Thrianta. It became a popular breed of rabbit and soon gained recognition as an official rabbit breed in the Netherlands just before World War II struck.

However, during the Second Great War, many of these rabbit species were lost as a result of the shortage of meat and other sources of protein. Rabbit meat became one of the main food sources at a time when there was scarcity in almost all kinds of resources. To that end, the Thrianta rabbit was one of the rabbit breeds that were used as a source of food. The war almost wiped out the entire population of these rabbits.

Luckily, some Thrianta Rabbits were able to survive the war and were kept and preserved by prominent rabbit breeders. The original Thrianta Rabbit became genetically different from the ones we see today as the breeders of yesteryears bred the few remaining true Thriantas with German rabbits in an attempt to preserve the breed.

The new generation of Thrianta Rabbits was eventually brought over to the United States during the 90s and, a decade later, gained recognition from the American Rabbit Breeders Association. Decades after it had almost gone extinct, the Thrianta Rabbit is now one of the more popular breeds of domesticated rabbits all over America and is only continuing to grow in numbers and in overall fame. The Thrianta rabbit is an excellent breed for those wanting to try out pet ownership with a rabbit, as they are gentle, sweet animals.


Physical Description.

Thrianta Rabbits are medium-sized breeds of domesticated rabbits that share a lot of common similarities with the rabbits that were bred in many different places in Europe. It can be as heavy as about 4 to 6 pounds and is not the heaviest type of rabbit due to how it does not seem like it is quite as big as the other breeds that are very popular in America. Compared to the stout and long American-bred rabbits, this European breed has a body that is quite compact and proportional to its overall length, weight, and body build.

Despite how compact its body structure is, you can clearly notice the round shape that the Thrianta Rabbit comes in. Like most other breeds of rabbits that originated in Europe, this one is round all over and has an appearance that can be quite stout and plump to the point that it may look a bit fat even though it is not quite the biggest or heaviest rabbit out there.

The Thrianta Rabbit has a strikingly short head, which is a feature that is quite unique to it. However, despite how short its head is, the shape is fully rounded and looks proportional to the rest of its round and compact body. Meanwhile, the neck is also pretty short and matches the overall short length of the rabbit’s head. Nevertheless, the neck should be erect and should not make the rabbit look like its head is just hanging out there.

A Thrianta Rabbit should have fur that is quite thick. Its coat is quite dense, and it gives the rabbit a cuddly appearance. The hairs on the fur should be rolled back and is more or less on the medium size of things in terms of length. The fur should be very soft to the touch while you are simply petting or stroking the rabbit’s hair. Because of this, it can be quite important to note that you should regularly groom the rabbit as its thick and long hair can matt in the future if not taken care of properly.

One of the more unique physical attributes descriptive of the Thrianta rabbit is that it has only one officially ARBA-recognized color. Some may claim that they have Thriantas that come in all sorts of other colors, but there really is only one color that is recognized by the ARBA. Thrianta Rabbits should have the striking signature fiery brown color that has made it one of the most adored rabbits all over America. Any color other than that will only indicate that the rabbit is not a pure Thrianta or that it isn’t even a Thrianta at all in the first place.
