Meat rabbits

Buying meat rabbits in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

Rabbit meat sells in UAE shops from about AED 70 for a fresh pack to about AED 350–370 for a whole rabbit, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. Search results did not include prices for live meat rabbits, so their price depends on breed, age, weight and vaccinations and is best asked for in a request. The quickest way to offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Halal slaughter and food safety

Search results say rabbits for meat must be slaughtered halal and that the business needs food safety certification and a steady supply. Rabbit and hare meat imported into the UAE falls under a framework covering food safety and halal rules. If you buy live animals from abroad, note that a federal veterinary quarantine law allows animal consignments to enter only through approved border ports.

Hot summers and the mild winter

The UAE is hot desert country. Summers from May to September are very hot, and winter from November to March is mild. For live rabbits, that means planning shade and ventilation for the hutches in the hot months, and starting new stock in the mild season from November, which is simpler than bringing animals in during the summer heat.

How meat is bought here

Whole rabbits are sold fresh, cleaned or frozen, and one frozen listing weighs 1.3 to 1.4 kg with a 10-day pre-order. Quote weights in kilograms, and say whether you want the animal whole or in pieces, fresh or frozen. Ask for delivery to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain and check how frozen stock is delivered.

What to write in your request

For live animals, give the breed, the purpose (meat or breeding), the age, the sex and the group, the number of animals and the target weight. Ask for vaccination records and the breeding quality you need, name your city or region in the UAE and your budget in AED. For meat, state the quantity in kilograms and the form you want.
