  In order to provide a reliable breed ID, more clear photos and from multiple angles of your rabbit’s entire body is needed, and also your rabbit’s weight and age.
  
  If you have not already, I highly recommend reviewing the RABBIT INFO section of this website to ensure you are providing great housing, diet, and overall care for your new rabbit. Rabbit care is often underestimated and pet stores are notorious for stocking/recommending inappropriate products. There is also a lot of misinformation online.

  Your rabbit is very cute! There seems to be some Himalayan in him, so he could be at least part California White? The Himalayan gene makes the ears, nose, toes and tail darker in winter (the gene responds to temperature). California White rabbits get fairly big, and have a reputation as being great pets due to their nice temperament.

  Thanks for the input. I don’t know if I have a full California. I’m hoping not only because I live in an apartment and I can only imagine how big he or she may get. Going to schedule first vet visit soon. I’ll take some more pics. I have to get accurate info from the vet. The seller had her/him at 12 week about a week and 1/2 ago. But not even sure he knew. I just fell in love with her. If it’s a her. I think I have a girl. Thanks

  She does have big ears, but that doesnt have to mean she’ll become a really big bun. Her current weight should give you some clues as to how big she’ll get, if you’re fairly sure of her age. As an example, my bun weighed 1500 grams at 15 weeks (vaccination appointment), she’s now 14 months and fully grown and weighs 2100 grams.

  Does she have a cylindrical shaped body? That is very characteristic of Himalayan bunnies. They have the same gene as the Californian breed to give them those cold sensitive markings, but they are smaller.

  My bun Myra is at least part Californian and she isn’t too big, so we think she might have some Florida white crossed in. Himalayan’s aren’t as common. 🙂
