Personality Britannia Petites tend to be more high strung than many breeds. Their standard of perfection calls for a lively rabbit, and that a temperamental Britannia Petite is sometime to be expected. They are exceptionally curious and require toys and human interaction to prevent boredom.

Coat Type and Grooming Britannia Petites have short, fine, dense fur that lies close to the body. It has a silky texture to it. Grooming is fairly easy with a weekly brushing by a slicker brush being all that is needed normally. During the shedding season, bi-weekly brushings may be required.
