Rabbit Breed Question

[Lexi01]

Does anyone know what breed this is? I got her for free, they said she was 4 months but was pretty big for that. I'm assuming she's about 8 months now, kinda looks like the wild rabbits around here? I don't have a scale but would guess about 4 pounds?

Flemish Giant maybe? I had one that looked right like that and it would explain the size. Hope this helps!

She's a little small compared to my friends Rex's if that helps?

Flemishs giant....... hummmmm, mine did look like that... He didnt get large until 1yr6monyhs. I think maybe sooner. Do u have the breeders #? You could always just ask them. Also you could see the parents.

Maybe a Rex/Flemish cross?

I think you can safely rule out Flemish. With an adult weight in excess of 13 lbs, a Flemish Giant would not weigh only 4 lbs at 8 months of age. Besides, there really isn't anything about this rabbit that suggests Flemish.

IDK why Rex is coming up, either, since she clearly does not have a Rex coat.

This rabbit is Chinchilla colored. The smallest of the Chinchilla breeds, the Standard Chin, matures around 6 lbs. That's a bit bigger than this rabbit, but it's a lot likelier than Flemish as the source of that color. Of course, Mini Rex come in Chinchilla, though it's not a real common color for them and, as I said, this rabbit doesn't have a Rex coat.

My Flemish/newzealnd buck weighed about 61/2lbs at 6months when he died he weighed about 15lbs. This rabbit IS A CROSS. That I know. And those ears remind me of a Flemish. Maybe a little satin in her. I'm think 2 or 3 breeds in this bunnie.

They never texted me back or answered when I tried

 

[SternRose]

That makes me wonder

She was way sketchy and nervous at first kind of like a wild rabbit (we have grey ones in the area) so it made is wonder if they caught her and ended up not wanting her ?
