To continue with the “Argente” rabbits, I would like to go over the Argente creme rabbit. I will be going over common personalities, characteristics, medical problems, and more!
The History Behind the Argente Creme Rabbit:
The Argente Creme breed doesn’t really have an origin besides the fact that it was mentioned in the French papers, was important to America, and was used as a different breed to try to breed for. At this time, breeding rabbits in the New York area was very popular and was common.
This particular breed was set aside to showing and meat. It was around the 1940’s that the breed was accepted by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.
Due to the breeds slow production, the Argente creme was on the “watch” list for a while, and is now on the “recovering” list. The breed’s population must have made a plunge after the meat of the rabbit was taken advantage of.
Common Personalities:
The Argente creme is know to be an extremely docile and sweet rabbit that is still very active and playful. They do great with older children, older couples, living in small houses, with first time owners, and is a great rabbit for singles. They will be quite active, but aren’t crazy and are known to be well-behaved.
Characteristics:
- Body Shape: Very rounded and full shoulders.
- Coloring: Orange, silver, fawn colors.
- Ears: Medium sized.
Size:
Argente Creme rabbits are considered large breed rabbits. If you don’t know, the size possibilities are:
- Dwarf
- Small
- Medium
- Large
- Giant
As for weight, the average Argente creme will weigh about 8 1/2 to 11 lbs. They can be quite stocky rabbits, so making sure they are getting the exercise they need is a must for any owner of this breed.
Common Medical Problems:
There are not any common medical problems specifically found in this breed.
Extra Care:
The only suggestion I would make is to insure that the rabbit is getting plenty of exercise because a rabbit this size can very easily become inactive and overweight.

*The source I have been using for these breed posts says that this breed does well outside without any major temperature changes. This is very misleading as rabbits should never be kept outside. I don’t ever advise letting a rabbit live outside because of temperature, weather, predators, and more. *
Thank you for coming back once again. I would appreciate it if you would leave a like as that really helps me out. I would like to know if you have any suggestions of breeds that weren’t listed in my post called “The Breeds I Will Be Going Over w/ Details”. I would definitely appreciate it! Thank so much for all of your support and I will talk to you soon, bye!
