My Rabbits Breed

[[r o s i e]]

I have recently bought a friendly female rabbit (Rosie) at a feed store, and I was wondering what breed she was. I have looked in some rabbit books and I have been thinking she might be a Satin. Right now she is about 8wks. She is very friendly and active. Here are some pics of her:

Well, I'm not sure what Satin baby coats are like, so I can't be sure, but I don't think she is Satin. Here is a page with a lot of Satin pics on it, it gives all the official ARBA sanctioned Satin colors. (My fav is the Siamese. ) http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/doublehrabbits/satincolor.html

Rosie looks a lot like them, but her coat isn't so shiny, so i guess she's not a satin. The bottoms of her feet are brown-gray and her ears are pink with a little bit of black fur.

From her size I am thinking a new zealand black (most of them you see are white ) I did see one at a show that looks similar. They can be pretty big buns when they are fully grown. DO you know her weight? it would give us a better idea on breed

Well, she's still young (only about 8 wks.) but I'll try to find out her weight.

EDIT: I don't have a scale that works for her weight, but she is about 16" long (from nose to toes) and 5" wide at her belly.

It'll be a little easier to tell once she molts out her baby coat at about 12 weeks of age. I'm guessing she's probably a mix. New Zealand blacks are not very common. They have a very smooth flyback coat as adults. Satins have a very soft, lusterous coat.

I think she is a mix. I might talk to the breeder. I bought her at a feed store, and I'll ask them about the breeder. Do you have any guesses about how bid she'll get? Thanks for everyones help!

If she weighs about 4-5 lbs. at 10-12 weeks, I'dguess that she is going to be a larger rabbit.
