The Conservation and Captive Breeding of Pygmy Rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) Bethany Kay

Hop at 15MPH

Why are they Endangered? Thriving population Columbian Basin Pygmy Rabbit population Populations recorded 1983-1995

Why are they Endangered? 1993 data

Factors affecting their decline… Habitat The sagebrush - Artemisia tridentata

Factors affecting their decline… Predators

Captive breeding Initiated captive breeding program in 2001 Re-released 20 rabbits back into the Basin in 2009. none survived!

Captive breeding 2011 Oregon Zoo took over breeding program Cross- bred with rabbits from Idaho Best artificial Basin possible Closed breeding program in Jan 2013

Conservation Oregon Zoo still closely monitoring the Rabbits to ensure they survive. Enclosed burrow areas – no predators can get in.
