Mara’ee 2025, for the first time in its history, is showcasing a dedicated Rabbit Exhibition, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore more than 12 rabbit breeds.
From giant rabbits to mini and dwarf breeds, the exhibition features species rarely seen in Bahrain and the Gulf, highlighting their beauty, diversity, and charm.
Children especially enjoy interacting with the rabbits, playing with them, and even taking photos to capture the experience.
Highlights
Among the highlights is the New Zealand White rabbit, a male with ruby-red eyes, an eight-month-old appearing in the region for the first time.
The New Zealand White is one of the largest rabbit breeds. This giant breed has attracted significant attention from visitors, eager to see its impressive size and gentle nature up close.
Other notable breeds on display include the French Papillon, Flemish Giant, and Rex Rabbits, all admired for their size and distinctive characteristics.
Visitors can also explore the dwarf breeds and mini rabbit section, which includes the Netherland Dwarfs, Holland Lops, Mini Rex and Lionheads. The Netherland Dwarfs is the smallest breed of rabbits, available in a variety of colors and includes some 2024 ARBA championship winners.
Features
The exhibition also features the Holland Lops, known for their friendly and sociable nature, the Mini Rex, known for its velvety fur, the distinctive Lionhead Rabbit with its manelike fur, and the elegant English Angora, prized for its long, luxurious coat used in fashion.
Maryam Al Bastaki, a member of the Bahrain Rabbit Breeders Association, emphasized that these rabbits make excellent pets, noting that they can be trained to use a litter box and enjoy human interaction from a young age.
The exhibition not only allows visitors to admire these rare breeds but also offers insight into their care, habits, and personalities, making it a must-visit attraction for families, children, and animal enthusiasts alike.
