ok so sorry for the just now update.
i was gone all day.
thanks for the comments on the red doe.she is very soft but i dont think shes a rex.her mom was something like a wild rabbit and her dad is the white one.

as a matter of fact im going to go and pick up a red rex doe tomorrow after i get home from school.so excited.

and no.no more new babies.when i went out this morning she has did something new to her nest.she looked like she made a depression in it.

this is so scary.when i got home today my grandpa said there was a opossum in the coop.he killed it but not before it killed one of my grandmas partridge silkie chicks.im glad i made the pen for momma.glad she didnt get ate.

AND THANKS SO MUCH MODERATORS FOR RE-OPENING THIS THREAD.THANK YOU SO MUCH.

i will post pics of my new red rex tomorrow or the next morning.

I used to have a white rabbit named Rabbit. He was Nugget and Woo's best friend when they were chicks. They used to sleep snuggled up with him in a dog kennel.

I thought I had read that wild rabbits and domesticated rabbits couldn't breed? I'm probably wrong on that one.


I do love your red one!

well turns out the new bunny is a boy.darn.but he'll still make pretty babies.he's a red rex.

now this part ticks me off.my rabbit got out of her pen today sometime while i was at school.so shes now running around the yard and shows absolutly no interest in making a new nest.maybe it was a false pregnancy.darn.oh well.i'll still continue to post pics.

 

[Crazyland]

Sorry that it looks like a false pregnancy. Was really hoping to see some little babies.

Oh and I still say you are a bad kid.

Notice my signature now reads 2 rabbits.
I blame it all on you. lol

Quote:
You are correct, domesticated rabbits are descended from the European wild rabbit, a species which is entirely unrelated to the wild rabbits of North America. Perhaps what has you confused, is the way the OP phrased it. What he said was:

something like a wild rabbit

The rabbit in question is a domestic rabbit, it just has the wild-type coloration. We call a rabbit with the wild-type coloration a Chestnut Agouti. I'm guessing that he didn't know this, am I right, Cole?​
