        Hi everyone!
        Meet my bunny, he is roughly 2 months old! He’s a joy to have around.
        In the store they told me he is a Netherland Dwarf, but seeing pictures of them I don’t think he’s turning out so round and short-eared.
        Maybe he is a Polish dwarf? A mix?
        What do you think?
        Thank you! Have a lovely Sunday everyone

          Welcome Toyoko !

          What a swett little bunny! Do you have an idea of how much he weighs? Not all netherland dwarfs will look like the breed standards. And sometimes they are “false dwarfs” meaning they didn’t a dwarf gene from the parents even though they are netherland dwarfs. The false dwarfs usually grow a bit bigger and have longer ears.

          It is also really common for stores to label rabbits as dwarf rabbits. When in reality, they’re just babies of any mix of breeds.

              He weights around 400grams I think! His nose and ears are getting very dark too, he’s slowly getting less orange and more brown.
              Thank you for your kind words and the help

                If he’s only 400gms then he’s probably younger then 2 months.

                  Really? I see!
                  Well he’s been with us a month so I guess he is at least 1 1/2 months.
                  He was like this when he arrived

                  Sorry I don’t seem to get the hang of the pictures!

                            So cute! He must have been taken away from his mom really young, but I am so glad you are giving him a good home and he is doing well.

                              He is so cute!

                              Hard to say what breed he is or mixed with until he gets a little older, he’s still so young so his features are harder to pinpoint.

                                Hello everyone! Hope you’43 having a nice week ?
                                I took some more pics of iiko today. He’s been a month with us already!
                                The “posing” one is how he looks relaxed, the facing forward when he’s alert, and the other for extra cuteness

                                I’m thinking Polish Dwarf? Britannia Petite mix?

                                  He does look like he might be a dwarf!

                                        Hi people and bunnies!

                                        So iiko is almost three months now and I wanted to update you with extra pics!

                                        The brown spot on his face has expanded and now it fills almost all his head! Hair is a different texture too. So cute! He’s a total sweetheart asking for ear rubs and being hilarious!

                                        In the two months he’s been home, first month he grew very fast! But these past 3 weeks he has not been growing that much. 

                                        Here you can see a video of him in floppity-feet action:

                                        https://www.instagram.com/p/BMpmIN2g8wH/?taken-by=bunnytokyo

                                        And a video of him playing around: 

                                        Any clues on the breed? Britannia Petite-ish?

                                            Wow, he’s grown up so much!

                                            I still don’t know what breed he is, lol. He doesn’t really look nethie to me, he’s just a real cutie

                                              He has cinnamon coloring, but is way to small to be of that breed. I was looking at his picture before and my first instinct was Havana.

                                                An extremely cute rabbit? Aka AECR breed. But seriously, he’s about as cute as it gets.

                                                I still have no idea though…

                                                  Well I love him no matter what, but I think it’s fun to try to find what kind of bunny he is!
                                                  Also I forgot to mention he is about 800gr now! He also has a line of hair on the back (along the spine) that usually is pointing upwards naturally which I find so cute! (He’s not particularly thin though, he just has a cowlick on his back hahahah!)

                                                    How old is he? He might not get much bigger depending on how old he is, which would make me guess he’s a Nethie but he just doesn’t have those features.

                                                      Roughly 3 months.
                                                      I think he has to grow a bit yet!

                                                        At 3 months he should roughly double in weight to his adult size. That’s what happened with my boy, Bandit
