I'd Love Some Help Identifying the Breed of my Baby Bun!

meganeliz · Nov 10, 2013

Hi all! I recently became a new bunny parent :bunny19 My bun is 11 weeks old, and I thought that he/she (sex is unknown) was a Holland lop, but now I think he/she might be a mini lop? Or is it possible he/she is a mix? I'd love anyone familiar with small lop breeds to help me out. Thanks!

Here are the links to his/her photos:

I should mention that I'm not sure of the rabbit's weight, and I will try to take some better photos of him/her tomorrow.

I'm still learning the breeds and things myself but I believe that is a mini lop

It could go either way, really. Holland Lops and Mini Lops do have very distinct differences, but when you're talking about pet rabbits, they often don't have the hallmark characteristics of their breeds. Where did you get your rabbit?

Yup! That's the dilemma I'm having. When I look at show quality Holland lops, I'm thinking "okay, I must have a mini lop", but when I see the pet quality Holland lop photos, I think they look just like my bun! I got my rabbit from a pet store.
