So the buck we recently rescued from a dinner table situation is raising some eyebrows among members of the rabbit community outside of this forum.
He is a cross breed of some kind but we can't figure out what!
Jack's 4 months old and medium size (haven't weighed him yet but he's bigger than our other rabbits). He's white with grey tickling along his snout and ears and has blue eyes. He has a long pointed face, huge ears, a long tail, huge hind feet and long slender legs and body.
I've had two very different suggestions thrown my way, some feel he has the features of a Belgium hare, some think American hare... others feel strongly that he has some giant in him but that his cross breeding has diluted his size.
There is also a suggestion of English lop (with un-lopped ears) mixed in due to his face shape, the female we rescued him with is an English/German lop cross who's ears lop normally and could be his sibling though we don't know for sure.
Can anyone help please!
(Please note the cage he is in is temporary due to him being unexpected! A fleece bedding is being obtained for the floor during his stay in the cage)
