I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

I recenty got four rabbits and have no idea what breed they are. They are quite possibly mixes. It was 12 at night and I was picking up some kennels I had bought at an auction just a few hours before. A person came in to pick up some rabbits they bought, but only wanted two rabbits. (there were 6 to start with) They were going to leave them there so I ended up taking them home. Their not adults but I don't know the exact age. I have owned rabbits before so I know what i'm doing, care wise. If you could shed some light on the breed or cross they are, that would be great! Also, their ears are always up and not down like lops

I only have pics of one of the rabbits but they all look like him. One is a little lighter but all from the same litter. Here are the pics::

rex crosses, and if those ear ever fell down, lop.

The difference between pets and pests is only on which side of the fence they're standing... keep your animals in your own property.

Would it be possible for them to be a flemish giant or Flemish giant cross?

Going by the last pic. Head shape makes me think dutch but color/body shape is wrong so there could be some in there somewhere. lop and dwarf breeds have that sort of look too. I would wager you have some mix breeds, I could be wrong of course. If I was going to guess a pure breed I'm going to say look up American max weight is 12 lb I think. Its really hard to tell from just a few pics rabbits can look really different from different angles and in person for that matter. Without a pedigree its a real guessing game for most of us, unless someone is very familiar with that particular breed, or it has extremely recognizable traits..lop ears, color, and so on, or you get someone who is an expert long time breeder, shower, judge, or scholar. If not its a bit of a wild card for most. Just my opinion, someone could post right after me and make everything I just said irrelevant too. Good luck which ever way, and enjoy your rabbits, I'm sure they are glad they didn't get left there.
