My guess would be a Californian... New Zealand cross. I've got a couple that look exactly like that.. although I don't know where the blue eyes would come from.. maybe do a search on blue eye rabbit breeds.

therealsilkiechick - Your bunnies are gorgeous!!! I have red Rex also, just the bigger kind

Goat_Walker - My guess would be a New Zealand or maybe a cross like SillyChicken thinks. He reminds me of my white doe NZ

Oh, join the show circuit, it is soooo much fun!! Outa showing horses, chickens, cows, dogs, and bunnies, I LOVE bunny shows!!

I even wish I could join in on the showing, but between breeding for meat I just don't have the room anymore

I bet shows are fun though! I love going to the fair and seeing all the cute little bunnies

Some show's have meat classes, but usually they are purebreds, but they usually offer a fryer class and a trio class (meat pen). This is a good class to show in if you are a meat breeder because it helps you evaluate your meat breeding program.

Actually, that would be pretty interesting to go to even if I didn't show, so that I could see what other people are working on to make theirs better

does someone have a direct link to the fake fur stuff. I looked on the KW site and it has a material but it does not say it is fake fur. It shows just a bedding. Will it keep them warm. . Winter in Florida is almost over but need to know for next year
