        Hi All!

        I am a brand new bunny owner and momma to Nuggy!  She is still quite young, I am not sure exactly though how old.  She is some kind of lop, but her ears and features around her head seem to show a mix of something else also.  I wonder what she could be!  Her ears are longer and stiffer than most lop rabbits I have seen!

        I hope some of you experts can help us out

          If there is supposed to be a photo, it’s not showing up on my browser. Avatar photo is a little small for judging breed.

            Her name make me smile!

            She looks like a mini lop (US) to me. Cutie!

                  Yep! It’s mini lop for me too, though if her ears keep on growing she could also be a French or English lop.

                    Most likely a mini lop – her ears are too long for a Holland Lop. Definitely not an English Lop though. She’s pretty.

                      Most likely a mini lop.
                      She sure is adorable either way!

                          Looks like a mix to me. Definitely has the lop ears but that cute face is more like an uppy eared breed as opposed to a flatter lop face. Best of both worlds – cute lop ears without the squishy face tooth issues?!?!

                            It looks like a mini lop mix to me as well but I am not breed expert. Nuggy is an extremely cute bunny though!

                                Super adorable and super cite name xD
                                Like everyone else have said, a lop but her fur on her face seems longer? Perhaps she is half withan up ear long haired rabbit?

                                  When she is done growing, it will be more clear what breed she is exactly. Mini lop is most likely, but holland or french lop is a vague possibility.

                                  Imperfectly meeting breed standards doesn’t necessarily mean mixed breeds. She could have 4 mini lop grandparents, and just happen to have a longer face. Sometimes perfectly bred lops even end up with uppy ears.

                                  Not meeting breed standards is only a problem for show bunnies. For pets, it can actually be a good thing in terms of being less prone to breed specific health issues.
