This may seem silly, but I was wondering is there any way to determine if a rabbit is purebred through blood tests? I did some research and I understand most come with pedigree papers, but the bunnies we have now were taken from a family moving across the country and did not want to take them with them. We were told they bought the rabbits from somewhere special (no idea where), but they came with no food and were in cramped spaces...so I have no idea if they ever had paperwork and the people lost it or what.
We have two lionhead adults and one baby. The other rabbits though? I am almost positive one is a Red Rex and another Himalayan rabbit. This leaves 4 other adults unknown and 3 babies unknown.
We did not ever intend on getting into breeding or caring for rabbits but these buggers have wormed their way into my heart especially the daddy lionhead; however there are TOO many. They are all separated now but they weren't at the time we got them so we have possibly 2 other females due to have babies. (One had babies recently and another on the same day but hers died - guessing first time mommy since she did not pull fur until after the babies died and were taken out of the cage - still leaves 2 other females unknown for certain).
I would like to determine if there is any way to prove (or disprove) if any of these are purebreds? I'd like to start raising the lionheads and possibly start breeding them if I have any interest from people who can take care of them, but I'd like to know for sure what we have and what we would be selling/giving away.
