Narrow down the possible breeds by the type of ears the rabbit has. If the rabbit has floppy ears, you have narrowed the breed possibilities to the American Fuzzy Lop, Holland Lop, Mini Lop, French Lop or the English Lop.
Check the American Rabbit Breeder's Association website and look through the breed guide. This guide contains pictures of all rabbit breeds recognized by the group.
Ask your veterinarian about your rabbit's breed when you take it in for an examination.
Visit a rabbit show and look at the different breeds and see which breeds most resemble the rabbit you have.
How to Tell What Kind of Bunny I Was Sold
There are dozens of rabbit breeds in the world. The American Rabbit Breeder's Association currently recognizes 45 rabbit breeds. These come in a vast array of colors, sizes, and ear carriages. While it's not always easy to tell what type of rabbit you have, there are some ways to aid in identifying your particular breed of rabbit. By using reference material and observing the characteristics of the rabbit, you will be able to tell what kind it is.
