Baladi rabbit
The Baladi rabbit is an Egyptian rabbit that has been bred to cope with the Egyptian climate. It is used primarily for meat production, much like the Bauscat rabbit. Baladi rabbits come in three coat colors: black, red, or white. These rabbits weigh approximately 2.7 kg (6 lb) and a typical litter consists of 5-6 kits. Their head is convex, eyes are black, ears are erect, feet and legs are medium in length, and their tails are short and straight. Baladi rabbits are docile and are adjusted to hot climates. They live in valleys that are about 15° to 35 °C and about 25 to 75% relative humidity. The Baladi Black rabbit weights 6 pounds. The Baladi Red rabbit weights 6.2 pounds. The Baladi White rabbit weights 4.3 pounds. All the rabbits have short fur and erect style ears. They are not recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association or the British Rabbit Council.

What to Know Before Buying a Baladi rabbit
Finding a responsible Baladi rabbit breeder requires more than browsing classified ads or responding to social media posts. The USDA requires any breeder who sells rabbits commercially — especially those selling online or through third-party dealers — to hold a federal license and submit to regular inspections. A legitimate breeder should be willing to provide their USDA license number, invite you to visit their facility, and show you where the animals are housed and socialized.
Before committing to a purchase, ask the breeder for veterinary health records, vaccination documentation, and any genetic testing results relevant to the Baladi rabbit. Reputable breeders will also ask you questions in return — about your living situation, experience with animals, and ability to provide long-term care. A breeder who asks no questions and is eager to ship an animal immediately is a significant red flag.
Use the search tool below to check whether any USDA-licensed facilities breeding Baladi rabbits appear in our database. If they do, review their inspection history carefully. Look for patterns of violations, pay attention to severity levels, and compare their compliance grade with other breeders in the same state. This due diligence takes minutes and can save you from supporting a facility with documented animal welfare problems.
