Sometimes she’s camera shy….
I just spent a hilarious few minutes trying to weigh her on the kitchen scales! The vet didn’t give me a weight. My scales reading somewhere between 10 and 12 ounces. This doesn’t feel right to me but maybe…? It would be handy to have an idea of how big she might get but perhaps we’ll just have to be suprised!

Haha, NBO, I finally decided to stop by! She DOES look exactly like Nugget except for her all over raven black fur!
TamarizRabbit- She is gorgeous! I see that a few people are guessing a Flemish mix, but aren’t those super duper big? I can’t tell from the pictures how big she is, but if she is similar to Nugget’s size (5-6 pounds in the U.S.), my guess is she’s a Swedish Hare like Nugget. It’s a new sporting breed that was developed by mixing a variety of smaller breeds with good temperament with athletic breeds.Here are some of the first Swedish Hares created: http://www.swedishhareuk.weebly.com/foundi…globe.htmlThe first one looks like Nugget’s twin sister and I actually contacted the breeder in Sweden to ask what she was mixed with, Belgian Hare and Holland Lop. So I assume Nugget is the same
.The second rabbit looks very similar to yours with the long ears and upright standing position. Also found this pretty female from one of the SH breeders: http://www.gronangens.webs.com/siri.htm She has more photos under that picture and what her genetic makeup is.From what I read in your earlier posts, she sounds like a very intelligent and sweet rabbit that would do great in jumping competitions
. Have you named her yet? If not, I suggest Raven. -
Thanks so much. Yes, this looks like a likely breed. A hare…wow!
She is named Tamariz or Tizzy for short. She is named after my boyfirend’s favourite magician. My other half is also a bit of a magician! No pulling rabbits out of hats though. Too cruel. We are trying to train her to pick a card though which is pretty cute. Have a video somewhere of it…The naming was a clincher in the getting a pet deal. He liked her raven blackness as it was ‘magical’!
