What breed of rabbit is this?

[mimosa]

Hi

I got a sweet little rabbit about a month or so ago. I had been researching rabbits for over a year and my mother saw some in a pet store and decided to get me on on a whim (she did well because I'm in love with this rabbit). They had very little information on her at the store. All I know is she's a girl, currently 3-4 months old, and weights 5 pounds ( she was only 3 when I first got her and apparently she was 2x the size of the other baby rabbits at the store). My mother was told she's likely a mix. She's definitely a lop. Her eyes are pink, it's not the camera making them red.

Any ideas?

I was hoping the new vet would know when I bring her to get spayed but stumbled upon this place and thought I might be able to get an answer sooner.

At 5 pounds she's either a light Mini Lop, or a slightly heavy Holland Lop. My Mini Lop looks exactly the same except totally albino; he weighed in at the vet a couple of weeks ago at 5.6lbs.

Your gal is lovely!

Thanks! I was thinking Holland or Mini Lop. I'm not sure if she's done growing so I guess once she stops I'll be able to tell better.

He's a picture of Gubble for comparison:

And this one because it's hilarious:

Oh, Gumble is adorable. Definitely resembles my Harriet.

Welcome to RO!

Your Harriet is sweet. Does look like Sammy's Gubble. You will probably know how big she will be by the one year mark. But if she's 5 lbs already at 3-4 months, I say she's more Mini Lop than Holland.

But whatever she is, I know one thing, she's a sweetheart and thrilled that Mom picked the right one for you.

Enjoy your Harriet! Bunnies are just such awesome critters.

She could be a mini lop x Himalayan or just a mini lop with seal point markings, she is beautiful though!

Her color is black pointed and id say mini lop for the breed very cute!

The color and eyes look Himi, with some lop in the mix, and not a small one. Our Lilli looks a lot like your bun. She's the longest rabbit we have, her ears stick strait out, and she's 11 pounds. Doesn't have the albino eyes though. She's the smartest rabbit we have, too.
