Animals that eat only plants are herbivores. In a food chain, they are called the âprimary consumersâ. This is because they are the first animals that eat the plants. Energy stored in the plant moves into the herbivore when it eats the plant. This energy is then used by that herbivore.
Here are ten popular pet bunny breeds. 1. Mini Rex â Rabbit breeders created the Mini Rex through mixing the Netherland Dwarf with the Standard Rex. They are intelligent, energetic and naturally curious and cuddly. 2. Thrianta â Still a comparatively new breed, Thrianta (pronounced tree-an-ta) are attention lovers.
Some breeders recommend raising a crossbred animal such as a Californian-New Zealand hybrid for meat purposes. One of the most popular hybrid rabbit meat breeds is the Altex (Although not recognized by ARBA). The Altex was developed from a cross of the Flemish Giant, Champagne Dâ Argent and Californian. At adult size these cross bred rabbits weigh between 10 and 20 pounds.
