Hi all,

I have two buns, Peter a lop, and thumper (doe) who is a lop x mini Rex mix.

I don’t know much about rabbit markings and color and was wondering if anyone could identify the name of the colours.

Peter’s belly is white and the tips of his ears are a little darker brown than the rest of him, he also has a line of slightly darker fur that goes around his entire body. At first I thought it was from shedding but it’s always there :)

thumper is black with white feet and a spotted belly.

Hi
Thumper is a Booted Black, which is a kind of Broken Black.
Peter is Orange.
Are you sure Thumper is a mixed breed? He looks the right shape and fur for a mini rex

Thanks!
So when we rescued thumper she was 4months and her ears were flopped, then around 8 months they started standing up, now she has one ear that doesn’t stand up straight and kind of just sticks out. She fully drops both ears when she’s relaxed. They said she was a Rex lop mix but I honestly don’t know. She’s definitely seems more Rex than lop
 
Mini rex do sometimes have ears that flop over or lop, especially as babies before they grow into their ears. It's considered a fault in showing (a fault if the ears are horizontal and a disqualification if the ears are below horizontal) and they call it a weak ear base, but it's pretty normal

oh ok good to know! then she may just be a Rex. Here’s a pic of her at 16 weeks, the day we got her and then just a recent one when she’s hanging out.

Wow, those are really hanging down lol. She might also be somebody's attempt at breeding a plush lop.

I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a plush lop. She has the most amazing temperament, more like a dog than a rabbit lol. We got her from a rabbit rescue her mom came into the rescue pregnant when her owners gave her up as they were moving. Her mom is a mini Rex
