There are different types of seizures; the rabbit doesn’t need to shake while having it. What you described is a seizure to me. A regular check up at the Emergency Department can’t detect if the rabbit had a seizure after it’s over. Rabbits and animals in general don’t play dead in that...

There are of course exceptions. I didn’t mean people shouldn’t adopt from shelters, or that adopted rabbits are less healthy (it’s just my experience), but I just wanted to point out that there are also other options, such as breeders, and that there are responsible ones, as you said. There are...

How did you know that he’s 5 weeks old, if I may ask? Size is not always an indicator of age. Licking and snuggling are normal rabbit behaviors in my opinion. Even older rabbits lick and snuggle with other rabbits and humans, so it’s not a behavior specific to rabbits younger than 8 weeks...

Animal shelters exaggerate about pretty much everything. You always have the option of buying from a breeder. I’m not a breeder, but I bought my latest rabbits from breeders and they are healthier and have better temperaments than my previous mixed breed rabbits.

I have 2 purebred Netherland Dwarf and Mini Rex bucks, so I think I can answer your question. Contrary to the popular belief that Netherland Dwarves are aggressive and skittish, mine is actually the opposite. He is energetic, interacts often with me, clean, curious, and very intelligent. My...

Thanks. Exactly, I think it’s most probably a runt too.

Just curious as to how 2 Flemish Giant rabbits could produce a peanut. Are both parents purebred or have the size of a Flemish Giant?

Thanks for pointing this out

This color pattern is called Thuringer

If he doesn’t have Rex fur, then he’s not Rex. I just think he might be a Mini Rex “mix”, taking the body shape of it, but not the fur type. He also looks like a Dwarf Papillon mix.

Definitely not Britannia Petite or Polish. I also don’t think it carries the dwarf gene. He looks like a Mini Rex rabbit, even though the fur doesn’t look rex fur. I think he’s a Mini Rex mix.

The first two are double-mane Lionhead, that’s why their fur is long. Lionhead breed originated by mixing Swiss Fox rabbits with Netherland dwarf. Swiss Fox rabbits were partly bred from Angora.

Hi! The first two are Lionhead and the third looks like an English Angora.

Thanks. However, the coat is white and the eyes are blue.

Another question. Would you say she rather looks like a Polish (the U.S. Polish breed) rabbit?
