Setup, routines, and health considerations
Care overview
Champagne d’Argent rabbit care is typical for a large rabbit; the coat’s silvering develops with maturity and is the breed’s signature.
Environment & space
They need spacious floor space and room for steady daily activity.
Daily routine
Daily patterns are predictable, with steady evening movement and stable resting habits—keeping the coat clean helps the silvering show clearly.
Health sensitivities
Large size makes heat stress and foot pressure points more relevant; no widely consistent breed-specific issues beyond that.
