.... i can see eric has some nethie in him but i was wondering what (if) he may be crossed with something else. any ideas?

My inexperienced eye just says Nethie too.

I guess if he is fully grown and he is the standard nethie size and weight I would say pure nethie, if he is any larger perhaps theres a little of something else.

I think he's lovely too.

I fell in love with one just like him in the pet shop last summer but I resisted for a day and when I went back he was gone:(
 
many many thanks to all of you!!!!

i thought he was a black otter nethie but he's nearly 5 months old now and although he's still tiny, his ears are almost 2 inches long and i'm not sure how long they may grow or at what age he'll be classed as 'full sized'. 2 days ago he weighed 1.09kg - another vet trip in half an hour (hopefully she'll discharge him - fingers xxxx for eric please!).

the reason i asked for everyone's opinion of breed/size was because although he has the run of the living room and kitchen all day, bedtime is in his cage which was purchased to fit the size of a nethie and i'd hate to think he was growing too big for it:oops: (i'd leave him out all night but OH put his foot down after the disappearance of another xbox cable which i was sure was out of eric's reach.......).

anyhoo, he really is the most gorgeous little man (to me anyway!!):love::love: but i don't want him to be cramped overnight (worry too much don't i:()

sorry the bun missed out on having you as his mummy:(
 
He looks like a Nethie to me. If you feel his cage is getting too small for him, you could always buy a big dog crate and make it bunny friendly, there are lots of good examples on the forum. :) Crates are higher than cages, so you can add a ramp and second level, and they are cheaper than cages, too.

he was still the same weight at the vet's this morning (1.09kg) so i reckon he's going to be quite small. can i see a pic of your nethie please please please? they always seem to have a look of mischief about them:lol: makes them even more adorable to me:D

Spice is about 0.75kg (using my kitchen scales :lol:) which means shes gone up 0.1kg since she was last at the vets in January :D I don't think she's gonna get any bigger but she's still a tiny nethie :shock: :lol:
