Help me identify my bunny :)

[jazzie]

Hello all!

Well today I petitioned for my new bunny, she is 6 weeks old now, so i'll wait for two more weeks until i bring her home from the shelter.
I had 2 giants before (solo), both flemish (white and grey, and black and grey).

I'm pretty sure that Butterfly is a checkered giant or some combo:



She has a sweet personality, she is hand-fed because her mom died, and i'll be keeping her alone. During the week in my flat, on weekend in my families' garden...
Any advice with her?

Thank you

Jazzie

Probably not a Checkered Giant...she is black otter in color and looks to be a regular broken variety, not a marked breed. Do you have a photo of either of the parents? If I'm reading the proportions of the bunny to blanket and cage correctly, I'd guess she will be a medium size at maturity.

Jazzie, couldn't tell you what breed but love the colouring and those ears are so gorgeeeeous. she's a real cutie. She is quite big for 6 weeks so looks like she'll be bigger than average. Will love keeping up with her as she grows.

OakRidgeRabbits - thank you for your input! Sadly no, she was saved from a bunny meat-breeder, so, umm, her parents aren't alive. Her coat seems kind of fluffy for a checkered giant. Approx. she will be between 4-5 kilograms by maturity.

Chrisdoc - she was absolutely a love-at-first-sight for me too Especially her ears...

Thank you, have a nice evening
