What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

The parents looked like them so Lionhead/Minilop. I'm not sure on the generation. They are double mane though so the cross had to have been several generations back.

Mini Lop, not Holland Lop?

Some people have been working Lionlops for several generations, so DM is pretty likely (you probably couldn't get good, downward-hanging ears in the F1 generation, either). The ARBA standards committee had said they weren't going to consider two breeds with the Lionhead coat; at one point, some of the people who were in line to get the Lionhead into the ARBA book of standards were actually breeding Lionlops.

Cute little beasts!

I really can't remember what kind of Lop so it very well could have been a Holland. I was looking at coat color and mane when I chose them. I still have all the color genetics running around in my head. Now I have to figure out the ears too.LOL. I don't guess anyone knows what I'll get when I breed the Lionlop to the Lionheads?

Quote: With smaller rabbits, a lop x non-lop often results in what I call "Weeble ears" - they wobble but they don't go down.

So this little guys ears are going to stay like this?

Mini Rex/mini lop cross

Quote: They may. A lot of things affect ear carriage. A rabbit with a narrow skull, largish ears and relatively weak ligaments on its ears may develop lopped ears, even if it has no lop in its background (English Angoras are bad about this; I've had it happen to some Harlequins, too, particularly in the summer months). To get the vertically hanging ears that are considered desirable in a Lop, you need ears that are set wide apart on a wide skull to begin with. Years ago, we used to see a lot of young Holland Lops that did a sort of "ear semaphore" - one up, one down, or both halfway; even a lot of the good ones went through the "helicopter ears" stage where they still had ear control. Most of the better bred lops have ears that go down at a very early age. A rabbit with the type of skull that one would expect from a Mini Lop/Mini Rex cross might not have ears that come above horizontal, but I wouldn't expect them ever to be completely vertical, either.
