teacup rabbit?

[bethcookie]

When I first got my rabbits the pet store saidthey were a mix of lionhead, teacup and dwarf? I have lookedand looked online and can't find anything on teacup bunnies.Is there such a thing? When I went backlast week and mentioned the rabbits I got last year, the clerkremembered. She said the mother was lionhead and the dad wasteacup. She seemed surprised when I told her I couldn't findany info on that breed.

Many years ago, we had a very cute, popularwebsite for my daughter's Dwarf Hotots called "Stephanie's TeacupDwarfs". We got many inquiries from people thinking thatthere was a "Teacup" breed of rabbit.

There is no "Teacup" breed of rabbit

Its not surprising...pet stores rarely know the breed (or even sex) of the rabbits they sell.

We get something similar here with dogs, peopleare starting to call runts of small breeds 'teacup' dogs and it's verymissleading.

Thanks, that is what I thought. That is why I went back to ask them.

Hi bethcookie, a long while backI was surprised to come across a site about "Micro Rabbits" orsomething to that effect. They were rather expensive and were adultswho had been peanuts or just runts, I think.

These bunnies looked like a type of Mini-Rex.

If I can locate the site ; I'll post it here.

The person who owned the rabbits was apparently breeding them also.

There is no such thing as a teacup breed of anyanimal. Dog breeders began breeding runts together to get smaller dogsand called them teacups to make them sound more appealing. I also haveto say that I work at a petstore and we do know the sexes of rabbits wesell and what breed they are. (Maybe because I work there? lol)
