Cuddlesmom,

Are both the first posts about the same rabbit -- or are two different people asking about 2 different rabbits?

It's hard for me to see because the photo is so small. Is thecoat very short? How large is the rabbit? Assomeone mentioned, it may be a Rex or a Mini Rex(maybe a Lynx-- too hard to tell from the photo).

If the photo of the rabbit in post #2 is the rabbit refered to in post#1, you had mentioned that the ears are often held at the horizontal,indicating a weak ear base, which could lead us to believe that therabbit is the result of a mini rex or rex and lop cross. Oneof these crosses is commonly called the "Mini Plush Lop".

OH MY GOODNESS! look at that face!! aww!! everyones bunnies are so adorable!

Absolutely tooooooooooo cute!!!!!! Heappears to be a fuzzy (wooly) Holland Lop with lots of earcontrol. You need to brush the coat a lot or shearit off. The soft wool of the fuzzy Hollands matts very easily.

The color is tortoise shell.

I think that it is a cashmere. Mine is a cashmere.Cashmere have dark faces and ears. But it could also be angora beingthat its only 8weeks old

Most definately *not* an Angora

The Cashmere, a wooled lop breed,is a popular British breedweighing over 5 pounds. They are accepted in about 30different colors. They are similar to the American Fuzzy Lop,but larger. The bunny in question is most likely a"fuzzy" Holland (common in Holland Lop lines), andmaysometimes be called a Cashmere by those looking to make aquick"buck" (pardon the pun) in theUS.Thefuzzy Holland Lopdoes nothave the desired texture of wool that the American Fuzzy Lophas. I was playing with a beautiful American FuzzyLop baby this weekend, from one of the top breeders in thecountry. It's wool was absolutely heavenly! (And verydifferent from that of the Fuzzy Holland Lop).

Didn't think that it was angora. I didn't know what colors they came in. I have only seen white ones so far.

Sebastian's coat issoft as down. It's terrible to work with...he has a ton oflittle mats down close to his skin and I have been working a little bitevery day to try to comb them out. I'm worried about himgetting to hot (we are in Kansas and it's already been 96 degreesoutside). His two brothers didn't look like him. Could hejust be a fuzzy "mutt" rabbit???

What do his 2 brothers look like?

You can take sharp scissors and carefully cut Sebastian's coat off. He'll be much happier.

I think I will dothat. I have five kids and I'm thinking no one wouldappreciate the time I'm putting into Sebastian's coat! I haven't seenhis brothers for a couple weeks but when I last did, they didn't havenear as flat a face.They were pretty much solid colored andmuch shorter hair.This is him and a brother at about 6-7weeks old.

 

[batbunny]

That photo is beautiful! The boys look like HollandLopswith a lot of ear control. "Fuzzies" in theHolland litters are not unusual.
