There is also a “home version” of a ram - artificially bred breed with a maximum weight of 2 kg, high decorative qualities and a wide range of colors. A mini-ram rabbit can become a true friend for a child. It is believed that due to hanging ears, all subspecies of sheep are deaf, and therefore do not show increased anxiety and are always calm. But this theory is controversial.
