Bunny breed question,

[heynow727]

I found this little girl in a box all by myself while i was walking to the grocery store and just had to take her in. I took her to the vet and he said she was about 3 weeks old but in otherwise good condition and just a little malnourished. He wasnt sure on the breed so im hoping somebody on here could help me. Also any advice on caring for a bunny of this age would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like im choking her probably but im not.

OH MY GOD.
Who could leave her
She is so cute!
It is very hard to tell at such a young age, but since she is a chocolate color maybe she has some Havana in her?

Too cute. I can't believe someone left her in a box?????

She looks like a little fluffy 4 week old Holland Lop.

Chances are you've got a little mutt on your hands... Lol, I sound like a broken record in these topics. I can't see her being purebred by any means especially if she was just left like that. DEFINITELY don't see any havana in her. :rollseyesLot's of rabbits come in chocolate colors, and furthermore, even Havana KITS don't have such fuzzy coat, they are very much smooth even at that age. To me, she looks like a run of the mill mutt that was a by-product of a unwanted breeding. :tears2:

Good luck raising her... I have never tried hand raising kits at this age for the fact that theres a VERY small success rate. I would try and find a breeder in your area with litters around the three/four week mark and see if you can put her in with them for the next 3/4 weeks, because it's very rare that you see rabbits this age survive without their mother.

wait until she's 8-10 weeks old and a breed guess will be easier.....
i'd guess MAYBE a holland lop or netherland dwarf mix, but that's a stab in the dark
