That is a lot of silvering - almost like a Champagne D'Argent: Frankly, I don't know. It's not a breed I have worked with. Silvering like that would be considered a fault, though, so anyone interested in showing would most likely steer clear of a rabbit like that.

This is thumping or stomping; a behavior that rabbits show when they are frightened or excited about something. If you haven't heard/seen her do this before, it's possible that she was reacting to hearing an unfamiliar voice. Good call on bringing the box in. I believe in better safe than...
