Setup, routines, and health considerations
Care overview
Havana rabbit care is straightforward, with coat color being the signature rather than a special care burden. It often suits people who want a classic small rabbit without coat complexity.
Environment & space
Standard small-breed indoor space works well, especially with an uncluttered floor plan for easy movement.
Daily routine
Daily patterns are often simple and consistent: steady evening movement, a clear home-base preference, and predictable “check the room” curiosity.
Health sensitivities
No widely consistent breed-specific sensitivities are reported; standard small-breed considerations apply.
Grooming / coat
