This study evaluated the qualitative traits of 94 local Bambu Apus rabbits, comparing them with 89 Rex and 89 New Zealand White rabbits in DKI Jakarta, Indonesia. Observed variables included head type, ear type, eye color, body color, fur characteristics, and body size. Bambu Apus rabbits showed distinct traits such as blue and heterochromia eye color, predominantly light brown and harlequin color patterns, compact body type variations, lion fur, and lop ear type. These traits suggest their genetic potential as tropical climate-adaptive broiler rabbits for urban farming.
