Meet Bun :)

[Brittanys22]

I’m new to owning a Bunny and am so excited. We got him/her about 2 weeks ago from our local pet store. I’ve been Doing a lot of research on breeds and I’m assuming it’s a Holland lop? Anybody have any ideas on the breed of our new baby?

Welcome to the forum!

He/she is very pretty! They’ve got great markings. I’m no good at breeds @SableSteel and anyone else who knows .
Did the pet shop tell you how old they are? They still look quite young.

Cute bunny! I don't know if it's the perspective in the last picture, but his ears look really long. I wonder if he's got any english lop in his background. (They don't look long enough to be full english lop, but maybe somewhere in the genes.)

Cutie!

Super cute! I think Holland or mabey french lop. He looks a lot like mine, she is a french lop. They can grow quite big but they are super sweet.

They said around 6 weeks but I didn’t think they were allowed to sell them till 8 weeks. I plan on doing a vet trip soon to make sure it’s healthy

That’s perfect, he/she is free roamed around the house. No cage as of week ago. Does GREAT with litter box and we have a car bed that it sleeps on.

so you don't know if it's a boy or girl yet?

I’m new at this & I've been reading on how to *** baby rabbits.

Welcome to the forum! Your bunny looks so adorable!

Definitely check in with the vet for his/her wellness. Also just a heads up that the temperament of the rabbit can change once he/she gets older. So right now if his/her litter habits are great, he/she may forget how to use it when she turns into an adult.

I agree, a rabbit-savvy vet will be able to tell you the estimated age, breed and *** of this adorable bunny.

Welcome! So cute! I'm also thinking s/he is a Holland Lop mixed with English Spot like Blue eyes said.

 

[bunnylove2024]

So I looked in to the breed mixes over night and now it think she is a Holland lop mix with a eglish spot like Mariam+Theo and blue eyes or Holland lop mix with some type of hotot mix because of the size and eyes.

Also, how is he personality-wise, that might help us determine what he is!

 

[Brittanys22]

It’s personality it’s great follows me around the house lets me pet him or she. Comes when I call just absolutely overall fantastic

Hey @Brittanys22 I wanted to pass you this list. It's a list of rabbit knowledgable vets in the usa. https://rabbit.org/vet-listings/ if you are setting out to find a vet, it could be useful! If there's none on here in your area, I'd suggest that when you start calling around vets, ask them if they are familiar with rabbits. Can make a huge difference! Good luck!!

You could really do it at home, vet visit for the health, privet check for the ***.
Boy's kind of "pop-out" at you when you check. (sorry, kind of crude. )

Personally... That's how I tell my boys from girls. "Tubes" for boys "flowers" for girls. The only time I found it hard to tell is when they are under 4 weeks. After that, it's fairly easy to look yourself.

 

[SableSteel]

I don't think I would confidently say more about the breed than just "lop mix". The broken (english spotting) pattern is very common in all the lop breeds. It's likely to be a holland lop cross, just because holland lops tend to be the most common lops in the pet trade. At this age, if they don't have the dwarf gene they can get some pretty large ears like that. It's possible that it might try to grow into them yet.
