Hi there, great website! Not sure what mix of breed we have???

[Lex Leven]

Hi there,

What a wonderful website and soooo informative. We have been waiting for a baby bunny for over a month, with our minds set on getting a dutch bunny, but we fell in love with a little 10 week old buck, we call LEX. He definitely looks like he has some Netherland Dwarf, but his ears are a little longer. One stands up and the other flops!(maybe part flop?). He is perfect in our eyes and sweet as can be. Working on litter training.

How do I post a pic so I can get some opinions on his breed?

Heya! Glad you found us! Welcome!

To post pictures I go to the website Photobucket.com (create an account if you need to), then upload the pictures you want to post on there. There will be some options for each picture after you've uploaded them. The link you want to copy and paste into a post *here* is going to be the IMG link.

Hope this helps!

Look forward to seeing your new bunny Lex!

Welcome to RO
Can't wait to see pictures

Ok, I think I figured out tinypic.com. Pretty easy to use.
Here are pics of our new family member, Lex.
Any ideas on his mix of breed would be greatly appreciated! One ear stays up and the other flops down. Not sure if its because he is only 10 weeks and the cartilage in one ear is still a little weak.
Thanks

Mini lop, don't see netherland dwarf at all, his ears are way to long to be a netherland mix, his ear probably haven't settled yet since he is only 10 weeks old, gosh he is cute though

 

[ZRabbits]

A broken black Mini Lop who's ears have not settled. Some take longer than others, and with mixes their ears could stay that way.

Love the butterfly on Lex's nose!

How big is he ? His face looks a bit long and thin but he does look pretty similar to a mini lop

he is really cute though

 

[Lex Leven]

Oh wow a mini lop. The one breed we didn't read up on a lot because we heard their tempermant wasn't as good as others, so we thought we didn't want one. Must be a generalization because Lex is super sweet. Loves to be held and really loves being on his back and getting his belly scratched.

Took him to the vet because we suspected he had ear mites (that's what we get buying from Petland) and indeed he had ear mites. They weighed him at 1.3 lbs.

We waited and waited until the store got in baby dutches and what happens... Lex hopped right over to us and we fell in love! The store told us they thought he was hotot species with netherland dwarf and perhaps some lionhead. I knew they were way off, just wasn't sure what breed. I do have to say that his ears seem pointier than a mini lops.

Very cute bunny, lops in general are good natured bunny's, I have a mini lop Pudge who is quite the snuggler.

Hopefuly, your bunny will never get sick,if you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

Here are somelinks I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*The House Rabbit Society has a lot of good information on what veggies are safe for bunny’s, etc.

*Here is a link to learn what your furry master is trying to say to you How to Understand Your Bunny's Language

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How to Bond with Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and I am glad you have joined rabbits online; I look forward to seeing you around.

Looks a lot like our little boy Finn, although his ears don't lop.

 

[KaliQ]

Definitely mini lop. He looks just like our Sherbotsky, except for being black instead of grey! I agree that his ears look a bit pointy but otherwise very similar. Our lop isn't as fond of snuggling as she used to be but we're working on that. She's about five months old now and we've definitely reached adolescence lol. :dude: Have fun with your new bun!

 

[1357rabbitlover]

I don't know where you have heard of mini lops having a bad tempermant? I have 5 mini lops and they are by far the best breed of rabbit, they are so friendly! In the past i have had netherland dwarfs and and lionheads, and the mini lop is definetly the best, they are so friendly! Yours is really cute, i have recently just got a broken black mini lop and like your only one of her ears have lopped yet, it's so cute!

 

[KieraKittie]

Is it wrong If I would wish his ears stayed that way... LOL TOO cute. Welcome to the forums, the folks here are super helpful and give some wonderful advise.

 

[Lex Leven]

You guys haven been wonderful, thank you soo much! I do hope one of his ears stays upright, that's what's so darn cute and unique about them. I hope he continues to love being held, because my daughter can't get enough of him right now.
Now on to reading all the great informative bulletins you all have on feeding, behaviours, litter training, etc.
Thanks again!:thanks::thanks::thanks:
