I picked up three new rescues this evening. They are all from the same litter, and they are gorgeous! Anyway, they are about 10-12 weeks old, and have long slender body shapes, and ears that are trying to droop. They each have one ear that mostly stands up, and one that falls over, LOL. It's very cute. Anyway, here are the best pics I could get tonight, I'll try and get better ones in the morning.

I think EL mixes too because of the big bodies.
 
The grey one has that Elop look LOL! How cute!

There was a rescue on here at one time that had one ear up and one down.... it was a mama bunny and I just loved her.

These guys look big too, for 10 to 12 weeks! Are they?

Could be either mini lop or holland lop. How much do they weigh? It will be hard to tell for sure until they do a little more growing.

Nah, they aren't either mini or Holland, they are the wrong shape entirely. They are long, slender bunnies, with narrow heads. Also, they are only about 12 weeks old, and they weigh about four and a half pounds each already. But I'll tell you what, guys, whatever they are, they are the sweetest little bunnies I have met in a long time. The white one I have named Luna, and she was giving me kisses the same night she met me.
 
They def. will be that big at that young of age. When we got Sippy at about that age, thats how small/big he was.
These guys look a bit bigger, but that could be because they are mixed.
 
Yeah, I need to get out my Standard and see what purebred E-lops weigh at adult size. I am sure they are not purebred E-lops from the pics I have seen of them, but I am still pretty sure they have some E-lop in there somewhere.
 
I would say there is ELop in there also! they just look so much like one...... and what you said about Luna... well, Elops are really friendly bunnies from what I've heard!
 
I had a rabbit in my rescue once that i thought was older and not going to get any bigger, he looked just like your bunnies with the slender body and big ears and sometimes one of his ears fell down. well he is full grown now and weighs around 10-12 pounds. So i think these babies are going to be big, maybe flemish mix
 
I think you may be quite right about them getting pretty big, but they aren't Flemish mixes. They are way to fine-boned and slender for that. I used to raise Flemmies, I would recognize those darlins at any age.
 
awww, those guys are so cute! they look EL to me too, but they're ears are so much shorter than ELs!

they look like they might have some holland or mini in them too maybe from the pic's in Jade's blog.........?.........
