What age/breed is she?

[aggieterpkatie]

I got a new little rabbit and I was wondering if anyone could guess what age or breed she may be? She's very friendly and SO soft. Her fur is very short and dense. Her whiskers are slightly curly, does that mean anything?

She looks like she has some Rex in her. The fur doesn't look exactly like a Rex but definitely doesn't look like a regular rabbit either.

I would have to agree,she has some mini rex in her, I can tell that by the fur but its not exactly the same as a mini rex . Also you wouldnt know for sure without papers or something but def. a mix with rex .

Do you think she's just a young standard rex mix? She was in a cage with several other small rabbits, and they all looked young. I've been having SUCH a hard time finding a doe to start breeding meat rabbits. I found this girl (I'm pretty sure she's a girl) at the farmer's market for $9. Then I went to the county fair and saw a HUGE gorgeous California doe for sale for $15!!!! I would have bought her, but she had to stay until today, and I had to come back home yesterday (fair was 2 hrs away). I was so bummed!!

X2. It looks like it may have some satin in it. I saw one today at a show and its fur looked kind of like that.

Since you don't know her age, it really is hard to tell. If she is very young then I bet she is a standard size. If she is older than you think, then she would just be a mini.

I guess time will tell.

Where did you get her? The breeder probably knows what breed and how old she is.

Also , her ears and back feet look to big to be pure mini rex . You will never find out for sure but I am thinking either mini rex/satin or just a rex mix . Maybe someone else can help :/


EDIT: didnt they tell you anything about her ?

Ugh, ok, to be honest I got her at a farmer's market. The sellers didn't know anything about them. He said they were his son's projects. I asked if they raised them for meat rabbits, and he said they don't raise them they just buy them and sell them. I KNOW it's not the best way to get rabbits.... But I've been looking everywhere near me and I can't find any for a decent price. The one breeder around here wanted $40 for a purebred 3 yr old doe) and $30 for a crossbred doe. I just don't want to spend that kind of money at this moment, so when I saw these rabbits I figured it'd at least be a way to start breeding. I so wish I could have gotten that Californian doe from the fair! They just wouldn't let any animals leave early.
