Can someone help me identify the exact race of my wonder bunny named Cuki. I believe he's a mixed breed (Harlequin, Dutch and maybe Cinnamon rabbit breeds). My mother and sister bought him at a Christmas market on 6th of December, 2018. Originally Cuki was bought for my 5 years old lovely niece but since she didn't really care much about her new pet her parents asked me to look after Cuki. Unfortunately he passed away about 10 days ago. He was 6 years and about 3 months old. He had snuffles. We believe his immune system was probably compromised in the last few months leading up to his death. We also have a young cute black short-haired Persian cat and I think she might have stressed Cuki out a lot, especially the last 3 months of his life when I introduced dry clover hay into his meal. My poor wonderbunny Cuki managed to keep his illness well hidden until a day before his death. The day before he passed away we noticed that he had difficulties with breathing. He was loudly breathing sometimes through his mouth and he was wheezing. He could barely stand on his legs (mostly his weakened forelegs) like he had partially or completely lost his balance. He'd randomly stand up and do a 180 degree turn around and then lie down. His head was also slightly tilted to one side and his eyes were wide open but blurry. The next morning I immediately took him to the nearest vet. He was given 2 shots of antibiotics, his digestive track was cleaned with clean water. The vet checked his temperature and lungs. He thought that Cuki had a slight case of pneumonia but he didn't exactly tell me what illness my wonderbunny was suffering from. We initially thought that he had Encephalitozoon Cuniculi infection but later when I came home from the vet and looked closely at the more obvious symptoms of my wonder bunny I realized that he might have had snuffles. Unfortunately he died a few hours later in the evening. I cared a lot about him. Changed his bedding once every week. Fed him once every day and even played with him. He'd always lick my hand and run around my legs in circles while giving out buzzing, humming sounds. One thing I noticed was that he wasn't as affectionate and playful in 2024 in particular the last few months before he passed away. He was a bit obese and stressed out by our young short-haired black Persian cat. He was 8.8 pounds the day I took him to the vet. He had a very nice, affectionate and playful attitude. There were times when he was afraid of us or when he was somewhat grumpy and agressive but overall he was a lovely, friendly and playful rabbit.

I'd love to buy a new rabbit that's the same breed or that at least looks somewhat similar to him. Thank you for all your help. I appreciate it a lot.
