Breed Help

I rescued a litter of 5 bunnies. The lady said they where 9 weeks old, they look older and she also said that mom was a lionhead and dad was a jersey wooly. Wondering what you guys thought. They seem to me to have a lot thicker hair then a lionhead or jersey wooly. Do you think they might have angora in them? They all have some longer wisps of fur on their ears. thanks

Male-has long fur all over face, had to cut it shorter b/c he kept getting it in his eyes

Female-only one in the litter with short hair

All I can say is- What an interesting litter!
It seems to me the Lionhead was a wool carrier (they callwooled lionheadsteddys in the lionhead world) and the Jersey was naturallyhomozygous for wool.
Thus producing normal furred, maned, and wooled babies. Seems like a very likely cross to me.

I agree, seems like a likely cross too.

Thanks...yea they are really pretty bunnies just really hard to groom. they came in with a few mats and it is really hard to get them out. they hate to be groomed. Hopefully they will find homes quickly.
