I'd contact Bill Mairs about getting a flemish. He comes down a couple times a year and has the healthiest animals I know of! He keeps a HUGE rabbitry I'm talking 100's because he does meat production for the zoos in canada (so you know they're healthy) If you're not picky about color he has...
I don't want to be too long winded SO I think the doe would be a good start to raising netherlands. I wouldn't buy the buck because your buck needs to be your strongest animal. He looks like he might be a BUB (big ugly buck, used a lot in nethie terms)His body is a little long and he doesn't...
Flemish Giants are in general a more relaxed breed than the New Zealand. Is it going to be a strictly pet bunny? Normally New Zealands are only used for meat/fur production but there is 1 person in my county that has them just for pets. The New Zealand also gets used more often in labratories...
It looks like a mix to me or only about 10weeks. By 3months my does are always over 8pounds if not 12pounds. Her cheeks also don't look quite right. Flem babies usually have these almost round looking fatty cheeks... hard to explain but I can pick out flem bred into most anything by those cheeks!
Tans are 5lbs give or take and French bucks are 10lbs give or take. Yes they would breed. IMO the babies would be too large for the Tan doe to have. I don't really see the point in doing this though? There is nothing that the two breeds could compliment the other... Like I could see breeding a...

My line of Mini lops get their uglies about 6mo and lasts until 8mo, I have an insanley slowly developing line. My bucks aren't done developings until they're about 2years old. You can look at bone for a few things, low shoulders is always going be low and undercut/chopped is always going to be...
DUDE everything needs as many varieties as Mini Lops, it makes it all that much easier LOL and it's like Christmas with every litter, you never know what colors you're going to get.

I don't know about Hollands but you CAN show shaded agoutis in Mini Lops and I know they share a lot of the same colors. The top one looks like it has a little bit of a low shoulder and the bottom one looks a little under cut. Check the bottoms ones feet and see how straight they...
I've 100% bred sore hocks out of my big rabbits, you know how? Proper bone. The fact that he has such weak shoulders and sore hocks is a big sign that he doesn't have proper bone to support his weight :/ Moving him onto a solid floor cage will help but he'll probably always have them to some...
