I have been asked to ID the breed or possible mix this bunny is. A friend found him through an internet posting as "free to a good home" and when she went to see him, got him because the owner was keeping him in a small carrier that was simply not being cleaned enough. She was told the first owner paid a lot of money for him but sold him for "considerably less money" a few days later as her daughter didn't want him. She is at least the 3rd owner of this little rabbit in less than 2 weeks time.
Anyway, he is supposedly an angora and about 12 weeks old. Given what I was told the first owner paid for him indicates he should be an English Angora. While he definitely will be a longhair bunny, given his age, small feet that lack long fur, small size, and obvious guard hairs, I am thinking he is a Jersey Wooly or simply a small angora mix. He does have some fur on his ears, though, but the longer fur (on his ears) is only about 1/2 inch. His fur is less than 2 inches long (mostly guard hairs) and is not even all over, being shorter on his back.
He is in a dish pan in these pictures. He is probably around 8 inches long. Not sure on his weight but he is pretty small. That is not a tattoo in his ear, but appears to be an ID that the breeder had done with a marker.
Any thoughts on his breed? Could he be an English Angora and be younger than she was told?
