Hi!

I have a bunny that is 5 years old, his name is Almond and I was told he's a Rex but... His colors don't look like it. Could he be a mix? What do you all think? He is my ESA and I'm just curious. Thank you!

Sorry, but not a Rex--his whiskers are full lenght and a true Rex has very short whiskers. Rex rabbits only have the shorter under fir while I can see the longer fur and under fur on your cute man.
I wasn't sure if he was. Physically, he looks like a Rex. Could he possibly be a English spot? He currently weighs about 7 pounds if that helps. I can take more pictures too if needed
 
Hi! I was curious if if my bunny could possibly be a Rhinelander? Some markings like his back stripe looks like he could be. if anyone may know, please let me know! I'm very curious of what his breed actually is, his colors doesn't seem like a Rex, and he doesn't have spots to be an English spot. Here's more pictures:

A mix....
Rabbits arent like dogs where the parents of mix breeds may be easy to guess. Unless the rabbit is showing obvious signs that it is part Rex or Lionhead or angora or lop.... (none of which your rabbit is) then you cant really guess.
Be happy he is healthy.

Okay, just was curious of what he is. I'm happy he's healthy and that he's happy.
 
If you're considering getting another rabbit at some point, to bond with your current rabbit, my recommendation would be to find a good rescue or shelter that has adult rabbits that are already spayed/neutered. Personality and temperament aren't necessarily breed specific with rabbits. There can be some generalities, like small breeds having more energy and being more spunky, or large breeds being more calm and laid back. But in the end, personality is very individualistic to the particular rabbit, regardless of breed. And getting from a rescue/shelter, most will usually allow bunny 'dates' so you can find the right match for your rabbit.

Rabbits are very particular about who they bond with. It has to be the right match of personalities. The wrong match and it will be either a very stressful and difficult bond, or they won't bond at all. An example would be two very dominant personalities are unlikely to bond. Ideal is love at first sight, where they pretty much like and want to be with each other from the start. Male/female tend to be the easiest match, but male/male (both neutered) can work out sometimes too. Male/male unneutered should not be attempted, as they will fight and this can result in serious or fatal injuries.

So if bonding is something you're thinking about, first your bun would need to be neutered by an experienced rabbit vet. It's important to remove those hormones, especially with the males, and for the females it is recommended for their long term health. Plus it's necessary if you have a male/female combo, so you don't end up with a pregnant doe. Then there's a 6-8 week post neuter wait period for hormones to fade sufficiently, before bonding attempts can begin.

My bunny currently is a rescue. I don't think I would be able to have 2 bunnies in my college dorm room...
