New bunny, breed ideas?

[polishgurl47]

Wow ive hardly ever had a rabbit lick me, although my very first rabbit Dutchess licked a little.

She is very cute, the first breed i though of was like a silver martin. she has some of the markings, but also not really lol ^_^ She could totally pass as one of the wild rabbits in Wisconsin

satin mix possibly?

very pretty though, and apparently uber friendly

Hope you don't mind, I embedded most of your pics.

lol thanks everyone who really knows what she is i guess! She's wonderful being my mix x3
@amanda: she's actually licking my face right now. and eating my hair a little. and grooming my eyebrows lol! and now she's on my back! xD and yeah, she looks like the wild ones here in michigan too
@claire: nope that's quite alright
@Blaze_Amita: only sweet how i described really with me everyone else she runs around, pretty nervous. but she gets used to them THEN she's friendly to the extent of letting them pet her a lil ^^

She actually looks very close to my wild rabbit (European). If you were in the UK I'd guess she might even be a wild cross but you have cottontails instead in the US and they don't interbreed. The colour would be agouti, the natural colour of rabbits, even the black ear tips and orange neck. I bet she has a beautiful white belly

Rexes are probably most similar in head/body shape to natural so I'd agree it's likely she is part rex even without the rex coat.

@tamsin: thank you for your input
she does have a pretty white belly! she has that orange-y colour lying right where her legs meet around her tummy, in like a line over the white

I'm sure there are. Try looking up breeders in the state, check out the arba site.

Just in the crease of her thigh? Yep, Scamp has that too! Most people think wild bunnies are brown but they have so many pretty colours mixed in

 

[tonyshuman]

Well, if she came into our rescue, we'd call her "American" which of course she isn't--that's a rather rare breed. It just means "we can't tell and we think she's mixed". She's absolutely beautiful though!

i've been looking at pics of silver rabbits her colour and it's creepy how much they all look like her! the body/ear shape especially! Even the face shape!

@claire: thank you

@tamsin: yeah! <3 agreed! when i took care of a while baby bunny, Fatty, she was pretty and very similar to Solara, but darker

Attached is a photo of a young genuine American rabbit I used to have. She was purebred, but not a showable variety.

@pamnock: what a beautiful rabbit
she does look a lot like my solara (pictures never really show what a rabbit looks truly like in person in my opinion)

 

[katt]

honestly she is probably a mini rex mix

although

i know that there are/were some breeders of silvers in michigan. so she *could* technically be a silver, although they are very rare.

@katt: i could see her being a rex mix, because her fur is really soft, despite the lack of curl. but unlike the rex, her guardhairs are a bit longer than her normal fur.

her temperament and looks are like a silver rabbit (i just googled silver rabbits and went to a breeders page) and her hair is a flyback (that's what it's called, right?)

but yeah, all i know of her origins is the fact that they had too many rabbits and could not care for her and her siblings. i wish i could meet with the person to ind out more information. ):

thank you for your help
