Wild rabbits
Pure French rabbits for territory restocking
Pure French rabbits
GIBIS offers pure French wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), caught in the wild in areas where the species is healthy. Unlike farmed rabbits, our wild rabbits possess the innate behaviours essential for survival in the natural environment: burrow digging, vigilance against predators and ability to feed on local vegetation.
- Certified wild origin
- Each batch comes with an origin certificate attesting to the wild provenance of the animals.
- Natural behaviour
- Intact survival instincts: burrow digging, flight from predators, autonomous feeding.
- Health selection
- Only animals in perfect health are retained for sale.
Vaccination and disease prevention
Myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD) are the two main threats to wild rabbit populations in France. GIBIS systematically vaccinates all its rabbits against both diseases before delivery. This vaccination, carried out by an approved vet, guarantees optimal protection and maximises the success of your restocking operation.
Myxomatosis vaccination
Licensed vaccine administered at least 15 days before release to allow full immunisation.
VHD vaccination
Protection against viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD1 and VHD2), most recent strains.
Veterinary certificate
Vaccination certificate issued by an approved vet, accompanying every batch delivered.

Release density
Recommendation of 5 to 10 rabbits per hectare of favourable warren habitat, depending on the carrying capacity of the environment.
