What breed is it

[Cheyanne123]

I have a rabbit that we got when he was a baby. We have had him for about six years and we have no idea what breed he is and I would like to know what roughly his life span is.
I dont know how to add a picture so I will add one if someone tells me how

This belongs in the rabbitry & showroom section, so hopefully someone can move it there for you.

As for life span, the average is about 6 to 12 years, but this can depend on breed, health, care, etc. Some rabbits have lived longer than 12 years!

You can upload a picture to tinypic, or photobucket, and then past the IMG code here, and we'll be able to see your picture.

This is my rabbit

He would be a Flemish Giant! Either purebred, or crossed. Very gorgeous boy!

I will move this to the Rabbitry
I am just wondering also how much your rabbit weighs approx.?

 

[lelanatty]

Yes, how much does he weigh?

He looks like a rex mix to me.

 

[Maureen Las]

I asked about his weight because sometimes pictures make them appear bigger than they are..

I also thought he looked at least like part rex( in the 2nd pic)

 

[mistyjr]

he looks like a rex or mix... Is hes fur velvet?

 

[Cheyanne123]

he was 7 pounds last time i weighed him which was last week. and His fur is not velvet

That huge wide head is the giveaway.



7 pounds sounds about right. I would say he is a standard rex crossed with some other bunny.

As for life expectancy, he could get up into the double digits. Just enjoy him for as long as you can! He is beautiful.

 

[Cheyanne123]

Okay thanks For the info. He is a great rabbit. we got him from the pound when he was just a baby.

my flemish doesnt look anything like that..i dont know what he is but hes stinkin cute!..and the heavier the breed rabbit the shorter the lifespan ..so u should be happy hes not in the teens for weight...hes got plenty more years so enjoy him

You have a mix breed rabbit. So therefore he may be a rex mix. Since he is full grown now at 6 years and is 7 pounds. He has the body that looks like a rex. Also his weight indicates that he is a medium breed of some sort.

Here is a pic of a flemish giant:

I do not think that your rabbit is a flemish giant.

Your rabbit doesn't fit any particular breed standard - the general characteristics are common to many breeds, so it's impossible to venture guesses as to what your rabbit's lineage could be. The color is agouti.

Like some of ours, a Mix. Don't know of what exactly, but they are all fun and happy. Definitely a cut boy.
