Rabbit breed qestion!?

Question

Okay, I am breeding rabbits. rexs right now. So I know a lot about rabbits.

But today, I found a free purebread rex on craigslist, and when we went to go get her, the woman also gave us another bunny. (she was moving and could not take them) But I have no idea what this other bread is! She said he is %100 full bread something. She did not remember. But he is ADORABLE. He is a redish, dark orange. and his fur is really thick, and feels like velet. I have looked online, and I can not find this breed for the life of me.

I would put a picture up, but my camera is broken, and was sent back to kodak to be fixed.

PLEASE HELP HONNEY FIND HIS BREED?

Answer 1

Sounds like a thrianta, a newly recognized breed in the US.  But, chances are that if she couldn't remember what the breed was, you have a mixed breed on your hands.  Good luck.

Answer 2

As far as I remember the only purebred rabbits with velveteen fur are rexes and mini rexes, and the photo could definitely be of a rex.

Answer 3

hard to tell for now,you know.unless i got pics,i won't be able to tell it.

but from what you have described,i can conclude it is either a

♦satin angora.(does it look like this?:)

I hope you find what he is, but whatever he is, I know he's precious.
