Why collect Maileg Rabbits & Bunnies?
In our opinion, a Maileg rabbit or bunny is every bit as essential to your collection as a Maileg mouse. Here's why:
- rabbits and bunnies expand storytelling possibilities
- they add visual variety
- they feel timeless and heirloom-like
- they appeal to both children and adult collectors
- the new style micro bunnies and rabbits launched in AW25 are especially cute!
What's the difference between Maileg Rabbits & Bunnies?
It's all about the ears!
- Bunnies have floppy ears that hang downwards
- Rabbits have ears that point upwards
This applies to all sizes of Maileg rabbit/bunny from the tiniest MY size to the tallest size 5 rabbit.
Maileg Micro Rabbits & Bunnies - New Style vs. Old Style
Maileg gave the micro bunnies and rabbits a new look in Autumn Winter 2025. The new styles have a more delicate aesthetic, making them the perfect companions for your Maileg mice. The sizes have changed slightly too. Find out more in our Maileg Rabbit & Bunny Sizes Guide which breaks down each size and shows how they compare to mice.
Can Maileg rabbits and bunnies live alongside mice?
Maileg rabbits and bunnies come in many different sizes. Some rabbits and bunnies are small enough to live alongside Maileg mice, sharing furniture, accessories, and even clothes. Others are designed for Maileg’s bigger dolls’ houses and furniture, labelled Miniature. And others are much larger standalone soft toys. Because size affects everything - from which kitchen to buy to which dolls house works - it’s essential to understand rabbit and bunny sizing before you start building a miniature home for them.

Do Maileg Bunnies & Rabbits have magnets in their hands?
Some of the new Micro Bunnies and Rabbits introduced in autumn winter 25 have magnets in their hands which means they can do all the things that big brother and sister mice with magnets can do - like ride tricycles or scooters, hold metal cups and grasp cooking implements.
