So first off I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions. Peeta is a felmish giant and angora cross. He's six months and either 6 or 7 lbs I need a better scale BC the first time it told me 7 and the second told me 6. But anyway I think I read the Flemish grow longer so could he potentially be a big rabbit or is he about as big as he's gonna get?
 
Did you get Peeta directly from someone who bred a Flemish and Angora together? Like Zeroshero said, if it's the black/white bunny in your avatar, I wouldn't suspect that cross. Both breeds are typically only available in solid colors, whereas your bunny is broken colored. Also, 6-7 lbs. would be very small for a Flemish/Angora cross.

Rabbits are full grown by about 6 months if they're a small/medium breed or about 8 months for large breeds.
 
Probably not a Checkered Giant either. Many breeds are recognized in black or broken (spotted) black, and few pet rabbits are related to Checkereds. They are very large (no weight limit) and have a specific pattern of spots. They're not a very common breed and aren't known for the best temperaments overall; they're more common in the show circuit than among pet owners.

Most broken black pet rabbits are descendants of more common breeds. :)
 
He's from a breeder. They breed french angoras with Flemish giants. 3/4 angora I believe. His is the white and black one. They only had two with spots the rest were a solid color.
 
I still don't see it but they have a bunch of little Zero's on their page :)
 
A Zero is the name of the rabbit Zeroshero owns :) NZ/CA type mix.
 
No idea, hes obviously a mix. French angoras do come in broken colour varieties, but are again very large rabbits like Flemish giants. Peeta seems very small for both breeds if he is infact only 6lbs or so. He looks to have big flemmy ears and the right shaped face. But it seems this breeder just breeds rabbits for whatever seems to suit their fancy so its very possible he could have some of that mini rex in him too or who knows what else.
 
It does look like they have Angoras in there, but the "normal" bunnies look like they may be mixed breed. Doesn't matter much, I was just curious. :) Flemish don't have a specified weight limit. French Angoras are up to 10.5 lbs., I believe. So I was just surprised he ended up so small!

He may grow until he is around 8 months, but he has probably reached almost his full size.
 
The larger breeds can take a year to fill out. He may be as long and as tall as he's going to get but put on a little more weight. Hard to say with the mixes.
 
Looks like an English Spot but could be any combination judging by the site. I don't mean to offend you which is why I tried to find a site to help you determine for yourself. I guess I would assume that being an Angora cross he would have more hair. I could be wrong, good luck with your rabbits.

Yes I was referring to my bunny "Zero" sorry to have gone off topic. :)
 
Wool is a recessive trait, so a first generation Angora cross would still have normal fur. Broken black is recognized in many breeds, so his color isn't really an indicator. English Spots are like Checkered Giants and have a very long, lean body type and specific markings. They are more common as show or hopping rabbits than among pet owners.

He may very well be an Angora/Flemish cross. It's interesting that he ended up rather small, but not impossible. :)

All breeds are pretty much done growing by 6-8 months of age. They may fill out a little more as time goes on, but his current size/weight is about as big as he will get.
 
six or seven pounds at six months of age....he could potentially get to 10 lbs due to slower growth. Best with big rabbits is to weigh yourself, weigh yourself holding rabbit and do some subtraction.
