  I can see nethie, but the forehead shape makes me think there’s a mix of something else in there. Nethies have a more squished looking face.

  I could see nethie x dutch. My Badger is one and they have a similar shape. Your bun could also just be a mini dutch. How old is he and about how much does he weigh?
  
  Due to head shape, he is definitely not a dwarf, though. Dwarves have small flat faces making their heads look almost like a cube. Your bun has an obvious muzzle and nose tip

  he’s ~3.5 months and about a pound!
  
  it’s kinda funny bc i when i brought him home i was like “what if he’s not a dwarf but actually a giant!?” lol tbh i didn’t buy him specifically to get a dwarf, i just liked him

  Definitely jumping on the false dwarf nethie x dutch train then! He is exactly like my little Badger when he was around that age He shouldnt be bigger than a medium sized bun at the absolute most, but I agree it would be pretty funny if he hit a large growth spurt and became a giant He is a super cutie!

  Yes, I agree with Wick and Mikey, as your bun looks exactly like mine but white, and mine is a false dwarf, which is pretty common. It just means they are a smaller rabbit, but not fully dwarf. It could be part Dutch because of the similar head shape and ears. It’s definitely a mix of something.

  Oh yes LBJ10! It definitely looks like that! That could be a part. Actually, I don’t think there’s really much Dutch.

  A false dwarf is like a mini. Im not completely sure on how the builds change, but they would be around similar sizes. Like, a false dwarf is usually 3lbs to 5lbs depending on breed(s) where as a mini is usually 4lbs to 6.5lbs depending on breed(s).
