        so I was looking in my bunnys left ear and saw a tattoo!

        it says OS2

        what does a tattoo mean?

        he is a male mini lop and i’m in CA if that helps.

          Not sure – breeders have their own distinct “tattoos” and as far as I know there is no standard for this.

            I also agree it’s probably a breeder’s tattoo. Two of my buns have similar tattoos that say RC2 and RC3.

                Each breeder uses there own code. Rabbits must be tattooed in order to show them or for 4h. It is to distinguish them from the other rabbits and usually tells the breeder info by whatever code used…..sex,age,parents, and so on. Its mandatory for a rabbit to be tatted in its left ear to be shown. You have a retired show bun or one that was a show prospect.

                  could I show him or would he be disqualified?

                    Showing is something only really used for breeding. To judge their structure and markings.

                      not likely. you have to have his pedigree to show him as well as many other requirements. many people show rabbits, but its usually 4-h kids, breeders and people who do it for a hobby. if your bunny was adopted out as a pet, there is probably a reason it was no longer being shown or bred anymore.
