at the fair show we went to recently we got the kid's 2 bunnies. what color is this called and what breed is it? we were told angora but someone else told us it was a jersey wooley and yet someone else told us a mix. the kid's would love to know what their new pet is.
thanks,
silkie
here is another pic of fluff-a-lot, lol gotta love the name.
and so u can see it's ears better.
this is their other bunny ginger, she is a holland lop who is the other bunny we just got. the bumb behind her is freddie our sable point holland lop who was hideing for the pics.
I would guess jersey wooly.. The American Rabbit Breeders Association has some pics you could look at..

Coud be satin angora also.. But I still think jersey wooly..
Oh heavens! It looks like you crossed one of your silkies with a rabbit! My rooster is good, but I'm not sure he could do THAT. (Well maybe if he could CATCH the bunnies....)
lol that is just to funny and what i thought of when i seen the bunny. I might just maybe get into the bunny breeding also but that will be next year. I do have a friend of ours that will help me cull them.
thank you so much for the id. we want to get a breeder for it. our others r a trio of holland lops, a dutch a friend is giveing us a buck for, and a pair of rex. the kid's want to breed bunnies for the local fairs to show. i'd like to get a pair of lionheads too.
rotfl, nope never had them near my silkies or showgirls. it's not as fluffy as they r but nice long beautiful fur.
It's a cutie! My rabbits that color are called chinchillas. It has smaller ears than mine have but I think yours is cuter!
awe, thank you. i wasn't sure if it was that, blue, lav or something else. any ideas what color ginger is called? she is the lop above. i've had rabbits off and on all my life but they were always just bunnies,lol. i miss counted i have 8 bunnies now, i forgot one.
since we r into showing our flock the kid's would like to show their bunnies too. they r all looking forward to it but without info i don't know what class to put them in.
can any of u tell me more about the others below? name of color and breed so i know i have them right? would love to find out any info i can on them so i can do reaserch onlne. if i have the breed wrong please let me know. blackie is one i don't think the breed is right on.
thank u so much!!!
silkie

buddy, told he is a rex. he has velvety very short fur. is his coloring what is called a broken?
would love to see pics of rabbits u all raise too!!!
bubbles, holland lop
and lily after she had a litter don't mind her pulled fur,lol. holland lop. the other 2 i have to take pics of yet.
Buddie is a dead ringer for my checkered giant but smaller--which I also have but got from another family member who got the parents at an auction. It's (mine) is a very nice, easy going rabbit. AND, my rabbits that are solid (red New Zealands, in my case) are called broken red or broken castor.
Red rabbits come in so many breeds but I was told the color is called "castor".
I only have one dutch dwarf and 1 lop and would love to find more. They are a nice rabbit. I breed for food (the giant breeds) and for fun for the other breeds. My very favorite are the New Zealands because of their calmness. The Florida Whites are whack-a-doo. I have a checkered giant that is a sweetheart too.
I believe I have about 60 to 100 rabbits. Not real sure..the census changes often.
awesome, thanks so much for the info. can u post pics of some of ur rabbits, would love to see them and show the kid's? we r trying to learn all we can about the different colors and breeds.
thanks,
mar
I will do my best for pics. I joined the ARBA and got their breeder's directory and found many helpful people in my area. They give addresses, no phone #'s, but you can send out a generic letter for help and info. Rabbit people are nice.
I wish we were closer!
