My rabbit has big ears. How can I tell what breed my bunny is?

This bunny is quite cute but does not look like any lop eared rabbits I have met. Even the shape of the face looks slightly different as many of the lops tend to have a shorter, more blunted nose/rounder face. It is possible the bunny could have a mix of several breeds, so it is possible there could be some lop in there. Regardless, he looks like a cutie and hopefully he will make a good pet for you!

This looks very much like an English Spot rabbit. Unfortunately there are many cross breeds out there, so, unless the rabbit comes from a breeder directly and with pedigree papers, there really is no way to determine what breed a rabbit is.

Hello! What a cute bun! Blue looks like a Hotot rabbit - if he's under 3 pounds, he's likely a Dwarf Hotot, and if over 3lbs, he's likely a Blanc de Hotot. If you're unsure of his lineage, he could be a mix, but I'm pretty sure he's mostly a Hotot. Good luck with beautiful Blue! :)

Without a clearer image, it is difficult to determine breed. It may indeed be a wild rabbit just by looking at the coat, size, color and ears. There are about 40 other breeds though that exhibit those same characteristics, so a close physical exam would be needed to definitively determine breed.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I really like the angora and mini lop breeds as they are beautiful and fun to keep. Try to get to see the rabbit you are choosing for a bit so that you can make sure that he is social and interactive. Also, make sure that the rabbit is eating well and has been evaluated by a veterinarian to ensure that he is doing well. Good luck!

It looks like a dwarf of some sort; since I don't know the age it is hard to judge size. It will be easier to tell once he is full grown. This article may help you more: ( https://petcentral.chewy.com/how-to-determine-your-rabbits-breed/ )

Thanks for reaching out about Bunn and including photos. Lop ears are a recessive gene, that is probably the cause of the phenotype in Bunn. As to the marketability, not sure. A rabbit judge might have more input. Try contacting a local rabbit club or 4H group. Good luck.
