Hi there, I'm sorry I don't know what breed yourbunny is, but hopefully a mod will come along soon and move this to theRabbitry where the experts are more likely to see it and they will havea better idea what breed your adorable bunny is!

Im thinking Dutch mix.its an unusual color.bluebird

Hi!

It appears your bunny is a dutch marked sable point. While Dutchesdon't usually come in that color it could be amix of anetherland dwarf and dutch, or just an over sized dwarf.



Cute Bunny!

It could also be a Vienna carrier which alsocauses Dutch like markings. I think a Netherland Dwarf mix isa good possibility, as Blue Eyed Whites (Vienna Gene) is a fairlycommon variety in the breed.

The vienna gene often allows people to mistaketheir rabbits for dutch, this is a vienna marked lop rabbit who hasblue eyed white parents:

The sun glare makes it hard to see but it marked like a dutch, but it has no dutch in it's background.

That's a cute vienna marked lop!!

My friend has a beautiful fuzzy lop that is a lynx vienna mark withsuch perfect markings it would make a dutch breeder proud, lol!! Ofcourse it was the best baby in the litter and isn't showable. lol!

I've got a Lynx Vienna Marked Mini Rex in my BEW breeding program - (you can click the pictures for bigger views)



She has the smallest snippet of white on her nose and both eyes are abeautiful shade of Blue (hard to catch on camera)... again, no dutchanywhere in her pedigree, just the Vienna gene. Some otherinteresting things the Vienna gene can do is starred blazes like thisguy:



He carry's the Vienna gene, but his eyes arecompletely brown with no blue specs.

Ok... :threadhijacked:.... Sorry... Back on topic again.

Jenna - I'm curious, does your bunny have any blue specs in its eye color anywhere?

Im not too sure if he has blue spots, but I willtake a closer look. I was also wondering about his size. He seemsfairly small to me. How big should he be at approx. 5 months? I had himover 3 months and he hasn't grown much, he might be about 3-3 1/2pounds.

Thanks for you help!

It's very difficult to predict adult weight and size on mixed breeds, especially when the mix is unknown.

I wouldn't worry about how big he is or how much he's growing as longas he doesn't feel skinny. If you feel spine and hip bonesinstead of musclewhen you pet him, then I would be seriouslyconcerned.
