I have been searching all day on this little bunny because it is the size of pet I wanted and I have always loved rabbits. Now I find out that it is a bread that is possibly gone and no way to ever be that cute little pet. So sad.

Wow! this is news to me. I grew up in the area and never even heard a word about it. Sad!

I believe the cause of extinction is loss and fragmentation of habitat. The smaller area of habitat resulted in an increase of predation and also competition for food with other species of rabbits.

Nature’s orderve. I’ve yet to read what the cause of extinction is believed to be. Reintroduction seems futile because of experienced predation rates. I want one.
