    what breed is my bunny

    Looks fine for a vienna-marked holland lop. That color is common in that breed and does not come from any dutch.

    Is this kit overfed? Looks bloated and can't even crawl properly

    He looks fine. Very healthy, just a well fed little rabbit. You don't need to stimulate it to pee. Just make sure the nest has ample traction (eg; a good layer of hay or shavings on the bottom, with no plastic, wood or metal showing through) so that he can develop those leg muscles and won't get...

    Mini lop or holland lop?

    Holland lops are only in the US, so there is no overlap between dwarf lops and Holland lops. That picture on the right is a viral picture that's been going around. Those aren't her rabbits, probably just a stock picture she pulled off the internet. Especially as no combination of those lop...

    Rabbit youtubers/influencers

    Her whole thing is trying to make people feel guilty, and trying to make rabbit care seem harder than it is so that she can pat herself on the back. I don't support that

    Skin problem, anyone know what this is?

    That's normal. He is starting to molt. Those dark patches are where the new fur is going to come in first; it will spread over the whole body and grow longer to replace his old coat as it falls out. (edit: or, if he has been near other rabbits recently, it might be that he had a few bites of fur...

    Never has my *bunny* ever

    Definitely not. To be fair; I also keep exotic birds, so my house is VERY secure ;) Never has my rabbit met a turtle

    False Dwarf?

    I dont see anything that says netherland dwarf in this rabbit. False dwarfs are a bit bigger, and they do have longer ears, but they still have generally dwarf looking traits and are smaller and shorter eared than a normal rabbit. your rabbits just looks like a mixed breed

    Pregnant Bunny, now nesting

    They only visit the nest for about 10-20 minutes per day, it would be fine to put her in a run for abit

    Netherland dwarf bunnies breeding colour

    The vienna gene that makes blue eyes is impossible to breed out of a line, so if you breed it into a non-BEW line, that line will no longer be able to be used in any color program except for BEW because white spots or blue eyes will likely pop up down the line that disqualify the rabbit from...

    Nutrition & Behavior change

    That rabbit is a mixed. That long face and those markings are very common with the mix breed rabbits in your area.

    Peanut? Help!

    No. Peanuts have short ears. This one does not.

    Rabbit with 3 eye colors | Should I be worried?

    That's normal. That's just part of the vienna gene (the same gene that causes that white marking on his face). it is completely cosmetic. Also makes me doubt the dad was a dutch. Vienna marked rabbits are commonly mistaken for dutch

    Get to know each other game!

    Chickens are disgusting and they eat so much. I've tried getting into them multiple times but... wow. One single chicken eats more and poops more than 6 pigeons + 2 peacocks (my other outdoor birds), and their poop stinks! They are bred to have that high metabolism so that they can grow fast and...

    What breed are these does?

    Americans are an extremely rare breed, you never find them in shelters (they are actually on the Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priority List because of how rare they are). A lot of shelters might just label rabbits that they don't know the breed of as "american" because they don't know...

    How to pose a Difficult rabbit?

    A lot of posing is structure. If the rabbit doesn't have the structure for a high head mount they dont like to pose. Here is a good video on how you would pose a holland lop: (they are posed the same as netherland dwarfs) I found the best way to pose an uncooperative one is to slide their front...

    What colors are my bunnies?

    Honestly, neither parent looks purebred to me. Buck looks like a lionhead cross. Doe might be a lionhead/californian cross. Buck is broken black marten color (more specifically, that pattern is called false charlie). Maybe a broken seal marten or broken sable marten. Hard to tell. Doe is...

    What Color are my Holland lops?

    First one is blue magpie. Second is a broken sable point. If you don't know the history on these rabbits, you should not be breeding them. They don't have good breed type or structure.

    Cottontail? Or domestic?

    Hi That is definitely a cottontail. That white little 'milk spot' on top of the head is one good way to tell.

    Hernia On My Bunny

    I've had two that had hernias and seen a few others with it as well. They're not that uncommon in rabbits. The two that I had were definitely not stepped on... they were breeding rabbits, so they lived in cages. There is a strong genetic factor to it also

    Do these rabbits have good Type?

    The baby buck definitely has better type of the two, but 4 weeks is way too young to tell. Nobody should be decided that young whether a rabbit is breeding quality or not, especially in holland lops where they mature so slowly. Even if you are very familiar with the line, I would wait until...
