I adopted 2 rabbits a few months ago and I'm curious to know what breed they both are. Can anyone help me out? They're approximately a year old and both weigh just over 4lbs. 
What breed are my bunnies?

The black one looks to be a silver martian mixed with something smaller, ( I'm not 100% ) on this but someone else may have some input. The other one looks like lionhead (for sure) and possibly Dutch with the pattern and weight, but could be pure lionhead with the Vienna gene and over show weight by a few ounces

Thank you so much for your reply it's helped a lot! I had done a bit of research online and thought she could be a silver marten but she has lots of brown patches on her back so she's definitely crossed with something else.

Thank you Yes her colouring is so nice and its why I've had trouble trying to find out what she's crossed with!

The one is a lionhead mix
The other looks like a Silver Fox (assuming you're in the UK, note: that's a different breed than what we call silver fox here in the US. The Silver Fox in the UK most closely resemble the Silver Marten in the US. There is no breed called Silver Marten in the UK). The brown patches on her back are because of old coat, not actual color. They're likely to go away next time she molts. Though it is still likely she is a cross, as many breeds come in that color.
