What type of lop is he?

Hi :wave:
I was wondering if anyone knew what type of lop Blitzen is? He is quite big.
(yeah I know it looks like he has a dewlap, but I swear he is a buck :) )

how heavy is he? he looks to be either a german lop or a french lop. german lops are smaller that a frenchie but bigger than a dwarf lop. x
 
not sure how heavy, I don't know what to weigh rabbits with as my scales are the ones sued for guinea pigs.
He is about 6-7 months old if that helps?
:)
 
The ears and head aren't right for a German Lop - I think you've got a French lop on your hands there Beth - prepare yourself hes going to be BIG
 
when i looked at him i automatically thought German lop lol i think if he was a frenchie his ears would have been longer? but then ive never seen a french lop in real life so cant really comment lol

if you do an image google search on German lops from a side veiw Blitzen looks similar :) juts my opinion anyway lol

xx
 
thanks.
The pictures in general chat show the lenght of his ears :) they do drag on the floor whilst he walks, I guess he still needs to grow into them :lol: when are rabbits fully grown?
I guess It's time to do the 6ftx7ft shed for him :shock:

:lol: Just start hoping his Mum finds a new home before he grows too big! :shock:
 
sorry but id say he looks like a german..none of my frenchies look like that and willow at that age had huge ears more like an english when she lay down!

heres willow piccy at that around 3 and a half months

think she liked the attention!!

heres a guide for you..is your bun as big to you as these buns? You will find that german lops just look like a stunted french lop..theyre chunky and broad but only half the size of a frenchie unless your fenchie happens to be my 14lb willow!!:shock::lol:

i love the buns inthe pics even tho theyre at a show...the rews look like a baby bertie with short ears!

this is an old piccy now ( my daughter had shaved her head as she has m.e and it was too much effort to wash her hair so using a jug uick on her over a sonk is less painful than shower spray n her head) this is bertie shes holding and there he was about 18 months old and hes a small frenchie esp compared to willow..shes almost twice his size!

the basal ridge the bump giving themthe wiggy is pretty similar on dwarf..geram and frenchlops..but i find they vary tremendously on does or bucks..bertie ahs a boxy broad face and head..whereas willows got a longer face and not as wide but then her skull has till june to finish growing!! but as a rule the males have wide chunky heads and faces..germans seem to have this no matter what the sex or so ive been told.

i love your bunny..gets sack to bunnynap........
 
From the other pics you posted I think he is a dwarf lop, perhaps crossed with something else- his ears don't look that big in the other photos.
 
Sometimes photos can be misleading, Rhia looked like a baby frenchie in lots of her pics - I think in the photos in stories & pics he looks quite a bit smaller? Prob your best bet is to weigh him, Just do it on human scales :) X
 
Sorry just wanted to add I've been breeding German lops for 10 years and I really don't think he looks like a German in that photo......

How bout we comproomise and go for French/German Lop cross! :lol:
