Raising Meat Rabbits

I own a black papered NZ

Only New zealand whites are white. You can get New zealand blacks, and New zealand reds. There are other colours, but I think they are unshowable...?
The rabbit in the pic does looks like some sort of dwarf cross, or Netherland dwarf.. hard to tell from the photo

I am not sure of what they are..I don't think they posted their age..ears are real short to be a nz, or even a californian or some cross with either..They show black NZ's maybe in just the meat catagory, my step son's who lives with us has his mom take him to the show's we raise them for meat... some meat mutt of fine by me all taste the same as long as it is the right size.

The black looks like a Netherland Dwarf. New Zealands are white.  Which one did they say was a NZ?

The one on your reply, the buck pictured alone.
I'm just glad my daughter is having a blast playing with them running outside. But it's tiring catching them to put back in the cage after all the excitement.
