Chinchilla Rabbit???

[Starina]

I was wondering what breed of rabbit I have. She has pretty blue-grey eyes and a white underside. Sorry the pic is so big.

Can you:

share more pictures (of different poses)?

share more information (weight and age)?

maybe give a measurement of the ear length or something?

I'm guessing it is chinchilla colored something...I don't think its a flemish from the head shape but I'm not good at this..

Just remember - like harlequins (where there is a harlequin pattern anda harlequin breed of rabbit) - you can have a chinchilla - or you canhave a rabbit with chinchilla coloring/coat.

Ears are about 4.5" Nose to tail about 23" Nose to ears about4" I have no clue what her weight is... we don't have a scale here. IfI had to guess on her age I would say that she is about 10 months. Igot her in April and she has grown ALOT since then. Is there anythingelse I am missing???



Thanks

*changed 2nd link. It is a side view, but she is an ugly, bad fitting sweater I made her.*

I have no idea, but...

you're second picture link didn't work.

Also, those pictures aren't very large. You can easily post them.

I believe those who are more experienced at identifying breeds mightprefer more of a side shot of her, out of her cage.

She looks like a chinchilla colored Satin. Is her fur very fine, soft and shiny?

A chin satin? I didn't know there was such a thing! LOL I bet those are very pretty to see, I love the chin color in any breed.

Yep Chinchilla is an accepted variety in theSatins. They are very beautiful, although not very common inmy area. I did used to have a Chin Satin buck. Iwouldn't be surprised if someone is also working on the variety in MiniSatins.

I think a chin satin would be nice too, myTinkle BUnny isn't one though. She has "normal" bunny fur. SHe sheds itall over me when I brush her and pet her.

Satins also shed The fur shaft is just thinner and more translucent.

It's hard to tell from photos, but the coat really appears to be satinized.

I go that impression from the pics, too. Satinized just means extra shiny, LOL. Do you mind if I ask where you got her?

 

[Starina]

I thought that satins were those short velvetly feeling bunnies. She is soft, but doesn't feel like velvet. :bunny5

I got her at a petstore in Albany's Crossgates Mall. I think the placewas called Pet Place. That is all I know, the staff there didn't knowwhat kind of bunny she is.
