Dart is a Black Polish rabbit, one of the first baby rabbits here at the Rider's rabbitry. He is a very friendly rabbit and likes to be handled. As K Road Rabbit's CEO and founder, Eve Rider, puts it: "He is very, very friendly because we've been holding him since he was like a little tiny baby."
Batman is a Chocolate Polish rabbit. He has gotten a little feisty over the past few years, according to the K Road Rabbits staff. As part of the K Road Rabbit's rabbitry league, he has been able to gain a sidekick: his sister, who bears the name of Robin. You can guess which superhero character that rabbit has been named after!
Max is a Broken Black Polish, which means that he has spots all over him, hence the spots on his fur. He is a year younger than his brother Dart. However, even though he doesn't mind being handled by those who work around him, he is not a friendly individual. Because of this, he has the habit of biting on people's thumbs and ears. Because of this, he never became part of Batman's league.
Mary is a Chocolate Polish Doe who is still learning how it is like to live on the K Road Rabbit's rabbitry. She is still very new to her environment, due to the fact that she is only five months old. Because of this, she is still very timid but is willing to learn something new while exploring her environment. According to Eve Rider, Mary is one of Titus's favorite rabbits.
Neo is an almost two-year-old Chocolate Polish Buck. He is a very friendly rabbit and likes to be handled by other people. Neo is one of the few rabbits who had the chance to go to rabbit shows with Eve Rider, the CEO of K Road Rabbits.
One of the most interesting facts concerning Neo involves how he received his name. Jeremiah Easey, the video editor and photographer for K Road Rabbits, helped pick the name when Neo was first purchased. "I am very happy that I did [get the chance to name Neo]," Jeremiah remarks. "In a way, I'm like, 'That's my boy!'—just a little bit."
Another interesting fact to note concerning Neo is that he is the father of Dart and Max. This may seem quite strange to us humans since being two years old still means that they are still learning. However, in the case of rabbits, two years to us humans would be the equivalent of 27 rabbit years. Therefore, they can have children since they are fully developed.
If you are interested in understanding this kind of theory, you can look at the chart below.

Hershey is one of Jayne's favorite rabbits! What's interesting about his breed, Dwarf Hotot, is that the eyes of such rabbits look like eye liners. Hershey has a brother by the name of Paganini, who is also a Dwarf Hotot. He seems to be getting along fine with his brother for now, but things may change in the next few years or months.
Dolly is a Broken Black Polish with a peculiar personality. One of the most interesting facts about her is that she is the mother of Max. She also has a bit of an introverted personality, which means that she prefers to be alone by herself most of the time. However, she is a very friendly rabbit, and doesn't mind to be petted.
Paganini (shown right) is a Dwarf Hotot rabbit, just like his brother, Hershey (shown left). He seems to be getting along fine with his brother, but things may change in the next few years or months. The K Road Rabbits team will keep you posted on their attitudes towards each other.
Luke is a Chocolate Himalayan rabbit. He is a very friendly rabbit, who happened to be born with red eyes. This is not surprising, however, since his breed usually displays red eyes.
What's very interesting about Luke is that he is one of the pet rabbits at K Road Rabbits. The reason why this is was because of a miscoloration flaw that caused him to be disqualified for showmanship. However, he seems to have gotten over that and enjoys most of his time at our rabbitry.
Petty is part of the Dwarf Hotot breed of rabbits. One interesting characteristic concerning Petty is that she is the mother of Paganini and Hershey. They both look like her, so she has bragging rights.
Now, a few of you may be wondering, Why does this rabbit bear the name of Petty? The answer to this question is quite straightfoward: she is one of the pets at the Rider's rabbitry. She was disqualified for rabbit showmanship since she has a spot on her ear.
This brings up a fun fact concerning showmanship disqualifications for rabbits. Acoording to Eve Rider, the CEO of K Road Rabbits, "Each rabbit has its own disqualifications. . . . Polish ears can't be longer than three inches." Because of this, one rabbit breed may have different terms for disqualifications than some other breed.
Peppermint-Patty is part of the Lilac Himalayan breed. She is one of the nicer rabbits, willing to be handled and pet by others. She has had the honor of being Daphne Rider's show rabbit. "I've had her my whole life," she explains.
While the process of building the Meet Our Rabbits page was beginning, Daphne mentioned an interesting fact concerning Himalayan rabbits: "Himalayans are the only kind of rabbit that have a cylindrical body type. Lay them out, and they're
supposed to . . . [look] like a pencil. The head
. . . [would be] like the pointer of the pencil."
Blaze is a Senior Havannah Doe. She was a show rabbit, but she is about to start having offspring to carry on her showmanship. She needed to have a few more legs in order for her to win Grand Champion. Since the day that the data for this page was collected, she was still working on it. Who knows, things may be different the next time we interview her.
Broskey Jr. is a Black Havannah, named after another rabbit on our rabbitry. The original Broskey was too small to go to rabbit shows, so he was always disqualified. Because of this, Broskey Jr. took his place. Broskey has grown a little bit, so he would not be disqualified if he were to apply for rabbit shows again.
FUN FACT: The reason why Black Havannahs are called Havannahs is quite interesting. The Black Havannahs originated from Europe, like most other rabbit breeds, but at the time they were more of a chocolate color. Some of those who saw these rabbits thought they looked like Cuban cigars, thus coining the term "Havannah" for the rabbit.
