Cinnamon

The Cinnamon rabbit is an American medium-large breed named for its warm rust or cinnamon coat, usually with darker shading and ticking that give the color depth. It was developed in the United States from mixed domestic stock and became known as a practical, attractive breed with a commercial-style body. The defining feature is not just being reddish brown, but having the recognizable cinnamon surface color on a sound rabbit frame.

Cinnamon rabbits are kept for exhibition, meat-oriented homesteads, and companionship, depending on the line. Breeders select for even color, body depth, healthy feet, and a coat that keeps its warm tone without becoming dull or sooty. Owners should expect ordinary medium-large rabbit needs: secure housing, hay, water, measured pellets, and regular handling. As with many color-named breeds, photographs alone are not enough when choosing breeding stock.
