Could be a mini or a hollan lop... Mostly it would depend on what he weighs. do you know?

i was thinking mini lop, his head doesn't look large hollandish to me, i've had a couple large hollands out of my litters.

lol well he is from a pet store. Not all hollands are bred for the proper showy head. :biggrin:His shoulders looked hollandy to me for some reason... and he looks kinda small to me.XD I dont know why. It would be easier to tell if he was sitting normally and not hunched over and eating food. lol
but yeah, like i said mini lop is a definate possibility.

It could definatly be a Holland. It actually has more of the Holland look to it. Look at how short it's ears are. I have some mini's that have short ears, but most of them, especially anything that would end up in a pet store, would have longer ears.
This is what they taught us in 4H, Hollands ears are the shortest, they can only go 1/4 inch below their chins, Mini Lops ears touch the table, French Lops will fold over on the table, and English Lops ears are at least 2 feet long.
It's not that hard to tell the difference when you use that as a reference.
This rabbit also looks like it weighs maybe 5 lbs at most. Most Mini Lops, especially anything that would wind up at a pet store are going to be at least 6 lbs. I do have a doe that is registered at 4.12 lbs, but that is very unusual for Mini's to be so small. It is more likely to be a BUB Holland, that has gone to the 4+ Lbs line....

I am unsure what he weighs right now, but when I first got him his ears didn't flop at all. this was a recent thing.
