I have taken a rescue rabbit who I have named Jasper who was close to death having being found in a park 5 weeks ago. He is about 7 and I have had him vaccinated. But he was refusing to eat any type of hay. I tried all the top brands with no success. He does eat fresh greens carrots etc rabbit muesli and pellets. His teeth were filed last week and since then he has a big appetite but refuses hay. My main question was what breed he is? Does any one know from my pictures? He is very friendly and currently indoors for now.

If it has a mane it almost definitely has lionhead ancestry. It looks like it has a mane, but it's fur is also in really quite bad condition, so I can't be 100% sure. It is not pure lionhead, has the wrong structure. If I had to guess what it was mixed with, maybe mini lop because of the ear shape (called holland lop here in the US). Either way, the only thing I might confidently call it is "Lionhead Cross".
The color is called Black Charlie. (Sometimes charlies can be prone to megacolon and digestive problems so I personally would have this rabbit on a relatively high fiber diet)
 
Thank you for your replies this is helpful. He refuses hay but happily eats fresh greens and burgess pellets too.
