the really cute kind.
A beautiful mixed breed.....
Looks like a cute mix with Netherland Dwarf in the pool.
Wow that is a cute rabbit. That's all I know.
Does anyone want to chime in (even if i'm wrong, I'd like to know) about the type of bedding used? I was always under the impression that shavings were bad for their health. I am not blaming/accusing you of anything OP just pointing it out. I might be wrong but just sayin'.

Cedar shavings are the only ones that are really cause for concern. I would avoid pine shavings, too, myself. Aspen and other hardwood shavings are perfectly fine. I'm terrible at identifying trees from pictures of shavings, though.

That is a really cute mixed breed bunny. The rabbit may have a dwarf breed in him/her, possibly some mini rex or standard rex.
But whatever kind of rabbit it is, the rabbit is very cute.

Adorable!
I'm going to go against the grain and say holland lop - or at least a mix. The ears seem to stick out to the side a bit and the face just reminds me of a holland face.

Kiln Dried pine shavings are okay as the drying removes the phenols. Cedar is way to high in phenols and should never be used with small animals.

Your rabbit is a mix which most rabbits are I would say Netherland Dwarf mix.
I raise Hollands and I don't think there is any Holland Lop in him, the ears look very Netherland Dwarf, Holland Lops' ears start dropping before this age. (But sometimes it takes longer for them to fully drop)

Thank you all for the input, he is adorable and I am a newfound bunny lover As for the shavings, I purchased a cage from the pet store when I got him and a bag of those shavings were included. The bag says it is Aspen and dust free, so I hope that's okay! Someone please tell me if not cause I am still learning!

Hard to tell at such a young age but most likely a mix

Aspen chips are good. That's what I use for Natasha Rabbitova, and for Scone MacBunny before her, with a thick layer of newspaper under the shavings to absorb the urine.
