Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me possibly figure out a little of my new bunny's breed mix.
He's quite fluffy, much fluffier than Maisie was at his age (and so far I've been able to deduct that she's a rex/dutch mix). I suspect he might be a lop, without his ears yet falling, because they're a different shape than Maisie's. They're much more broad than Maisie's are, and for a regular-eared bun, hers are pretty broad.
As far as coloring, he's pure white, with the exception of a light brown ring around each eye, and a honey-colored stripe that starts about mid-back and ends almost at the end of his back. The stripe isn't a straight stripe, it's got some variance in width (the lady at the shelter that took a look at him said his stripe and eye rings seem to indicate some mixture with the English Spot breed, though his ears are completely white).
I don't have pictures yet, but will soon, and I don't have his weight,but it wouldn't really apply here, as he's a rescue bunny and quite malnourished (but making a comeback), so he wouldn't be the correct weight no matter what the breed.
He's only seven weeks old right now, so I know there'll be some change to his appearance before he's full-grown, but I was wondering...what breeds are fluffy like that at his age? Could he be part-angora, or some such? Or are there other fluffy types of breeds?
Right now, he looks like this as far as fluffiness...
