Rabbit info please

If you think it's best to rehome her than of course do so, but there are ways to help her aggression.
Rabbits raised for breeding and meat all their lives just aren't used to being pet, since they aren't pets so they dont "need" to be friendly

They sound like Rex rabbits to me. What color (s) are they?

The male is a typical albino, red eyes and all. Aggressive female is white with a brown ear and eyes, and the nice female is dark black\brown with light frosted fur tips. Her babies, one is albino, two are tan, and one looks like her.

Rhdv2??? Is that an infection of some sort. I'm guessing it's good to quarantine new rabbits before introducing them to new males or females if we get new ones at all. Just like chickens?

This site has lots of info

That. It's scary. Appropriate quarantine for it is 2 months. It's really ugly. The RHDV itself is known and fairly well controlled but it recently (last year) mutated (hence; RHDV2) to effect wild American cottontails and it's spread is ongoing. Keep an eye on it if you're on the west coast or getting rabbits transported.

We have two little kids, so rabbits we keep for breeding need to be friendly since the kids will be handling them to. Mean rabbit is either going the be rehomed or done for meat come summer.

No. We aren't on the west coast, though we do have plentiful wild cottontails.

Either Newzeland or Florida white.
The mean one if a Californian.

I'm told they are newzelands by their breeder our family friend.

Can they catch some chicken diseases? Our youngest chicks seem to have something going on. Andi wanna be sure I'm not inadvertently passing it to our rabbits to.

They can catch common parasites and bacteria, but nothing too serious.

The one with the black ears is a Californian or Californian/NZ mix.

Really?

Really?

New zealands don't come in that color ever. It's an unusual color for rabbits to come in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_rabbit
" New Zealand rabbits are available in five colors recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders' Association (ARBA): white, red, black, blue, and broken. "

Californians *exclusively* come in that color, it's dominant to the albino of the New Zealand White but usually a little faded when they're crossed to a non Himalayan colored rabbit, and they're an extremely popular meat breed. They're frequently crossed with NZ for meat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Californian_rabbit

They're so common a cross that there's studies about how effective crossing the two rabbits are for meat. Most people don't even bother to mention that they're mixed because they're crossed back and forth so frequently.

I've bred both and done crosses and I am a million percent positive you have a Californian or Cali/NZ cross.
