Loving the herd life
Okay that makes way more sense. Dwarf was her guess for his size. She just breeds to create pets for her grandchildren so she didn’t seem to mind. They kept the two tan rabbits for her grandkids from the litter and I got the other 6.While it is true that, for show purposes, Flemish are supposed to weigh at least 13 lbs, they can come smaller than that. There are lots of commercial-type breeds that mature at 10 lbs or considerably less; if the buck's parents had some of those in their background, he may simply be taking after them (though I am wondering, if she's breeding Flemish, why she would keep something so undersized as a breeding animal). Netherland Dwarfs average around 2 lbs; other dwarf breeds may run up in the 4 lb range, but that's a far cry from that buck's 10 lbs!
