        Hi all, I rescued a rabbit over the summer and am curious as to her breed. She’s just over 8 lbs, and probably a year or two old (?), so I think she’s done growing but not sure. Either way, she’s definitely one of the larger breeds. Her fur is super smooth compared to my cousin’s New Zealands and it slots back into place pretty quickly, so I’m wondering if she might be a Rex or a Rex mix, but I’ve never felt any fur other than hers and the NZs, so I don’t have much to compare it to. I’ve attached some pictures of her below for reference.

        Also, here’s a link (video link reviewed and approved by Wick) to an up-close video of her fur – can anyone tell me whether she’s fly-back, rollback, or something else? And do you think it looks like rex fur?

          Looks like a Flemie/ flemie mix to me. Though he would be small for a flemie I think so I’d guess he might be a mix or still growing.

            I’m not that good with breeds but wanted to drop in and say – she is gorgeous, what a beautiful bunny. 🙂 You’ll have to give her lots of pets and cuddles for me!

              Her fur does not look like rex fur to me. Rex fur is very short and plush, it feels like velvet.

              What ever she is, she is very pretty 🙂

                She looks Flemmie-ish to me.
