While I understand and agree that not all Hollands have great show type - neither do Mini Rex, for that matter ;)- I can say this... If I ever ran across a Holland Lop that had a crown so tight it resembled the rabbit in question - I would question the lop being a purebred! Sorry, but it's true...

The nice thing about having a mix breed, is, you can kind of make him whatever you want him to be! We all see something different in him, and in the end, who is to say which of us are right or wrong? We will never know exactly what he is, but we can toss out best guesses... Have you visited...

Sounds good to me ;) katt wrote:

That rabbit looks a bit small to be a Beveren mix, but who knows? Who is to say that Thumper had purebred parents on both the dam and sires side? He could be a result of mixes for many, manygenerations... For all we know, he has ten different breeds behind him.

For all we know, he could have awide rangeof breeds in his background... One will never know. I did see some Dutch/Mini Rex mixes one time at a swapmeet that looked very similar to him... Another possibility?

I can definitely appreciate others opinions. I cannot, and will not, tolerate an ammature (not in reference to you) chiming in and saying flat outNo, that's wrong. As for the lop that you see in him, I don't. And here's my reasoning behind it: the crown is far, far too tight on that rabbit...

Nice quote in your signature. ;) I'm not bothered if I am wrong; it is very possible I AM wrong. I can live with that, it's happened before, it will happen again. Ican say I AM bothered by know-it-alls who openly admit that they DONT know what they are talking about, and then keep arguing it...

That is NOT a lop. Even a Holland Lop with the tighest crown on the planet doesn't have ears that errect and that prick forward like this bunny, and his face is too "pointed" for a lop. Lops should have very round faces and wide heads. I would be trulyshocked and dumbfoundedif any of the Holland...

What I mean, is, IF he is a purebred Mini Rex (NOT saying he is, that is an IF), his fur is too long and doesn't look to have the right texture. Of course, we are all going by pictures, so who knows? Photos can lie. In the end, he is just a pet, right? So it doesn't really matter what he is...

Obviously you don't. That rabbit very much resembles a Mini Rex or Mini Rex mix, with poor quality fur... As I have a small herd of them now, and have bred them in the past, I think I know what a Mini Rex looks like. Thank you. ----- Annie

What attempt are you trying, to get them to breed? Cage breeding? Table breeding? Run breeding? Letting them house together for a few days? Everyone is different in how they breed, but I have found that cage breeding gets me the best result. Rarely, if ever, do I have a doe miss. I can...

As long as the babies have no way of getting out of the run - baby bunnies can squeeze through VERY tight spaces - then they can go out with her as soon as they are up and moving about! Just babyproof the run. As for the veggies, start simple like Sharon said. Don't overload them too quickly...

Does his fur feel like velvet? It's hard to say, but from the photos I would guess Mini Rex or even Mini Rex mix. He's cute! ----- Annie

Nope, no mixed blood! Just one of those oddities that popped up! She cost me apretty penny, too! ;) It should be interesting to see what those two give me color wise... ----- Annie

Thank you both! Susan, I am planning to breed them once this winter, and from there, I will have to see. They are awful big bunnies, and that would be quite a lot of bigmouths to feed on a regular basis, not to mention I also have French Lops (breeders)! I can only imagine the feed bill with a...

As promised, here are photos of my Flemmie pair... :) Please excuse the ugly green carpet, the wallpaper being torn of the walls, and all else. We just purchased this old home in April, and we are in the process of upgrading. It's a lot of work, though! ;) "Bikini", my blue tort doe...

Okay, that's how I have used it on every other forum... Just wanted to double check! Thanks! ----- Annie :bunny19

I've got some photos I'd love to share, but wanted to ask - how do I post them here? I use Photobucket as my host site, if that helps. ;) TIA! ----- Annie :bunny19

Welcome! What adorable bunnies! In case you had no idea, Briar's coloring is considered tri, and Quinn's is harlequin. They're beautiful. ----- Annie :bunny19
