What breed is my bunny ?!

[Amyelizabethp]

Hi everyone,

Looking for some help with my lop Peanut. Bought him around 3 weeks ago from Pets at Home in the UK, and was told by the girl that he was around 8 – 10 weeks old. She also told me he was most likely a cross between breeds. 

im wondering if anyone could narrow this down for me, 3 weeks on he is now 11 – 13 weeks old and I’d really like to know his exact breed. Done some internet research but can’t pin him down to one breed. I understand that different breeds of lop can vary dramatically in size. I am happy and able to provide for him however big he gets, would just be nice to know! His ears have grown noticeably over the past 3 weeks but he is still fairy small. About 20 cm from nose to tail. (He won’t sit still long enough to weigh him!) 

I have attached a few pics for you.  The ones where his ears are one up one down are from 3 weeks a go, and the pics with both ears down are very recent. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

I agree he is most likely a mix but it`s hard to say. Most pet store buns don`t get too big. There are more members here more knowledgeable in breeds that may be able to help you out. I just wanted to say he`s super ridiculously adorable, whatever breed he is.

I am in the same situation. I got my bunny from pets at home and she is the double of yours apart from colour and ive been struggling to discover her breed so il be watching this post also for answers 🙂

He’s lovely!

Yes if the pet store person said he was a mix then I think he’s probably a mix.

Well he has Harlequin coloring and he’s a lop. Aside from that, it’s really just a guessing game :~)

Thanks guys, he has a lovely personality. Very confident around humans for such a young bun. As soon as I saw the 1 up 1 down ears and stripe down his face I was sold. Had never heard of harlequin before!!

Looks just like my mom’s bunny which is a mini lop.

I would definitely say he obviously has lop in him, whatever else i have no idea, but oh my goodness, that FACE!!!! What a little doll, I bet you have the urge to kisses his sweet little face a million times every day! Beautiful bun!

His face isn’t as rounded as a Holland, so probably not purebred. A lop mix of some kind for sure. Or if he gets a little bigger, then perhaps mini lop. Hollands top out at 4lbs and minis top out a 6.5lbs.

I love his harlequin pattern though, so cute!

He doesn’t have the ” Holland Lop Face” , but he does look like a Mini Lop or a Mini Lop mix to me. Nevertheless, he is absolutely adorable!

I agree a mix lop, although I am not very knowledgeable in breeds.
Other than that, he is ADORABLE! Welcome to the forum!
