Warning! Stay Out of the Feed Store!

I stopped in this afternoon just to pick up a bale of hay to bed my strawberries. Really, that was all.
First I hit the plants set up outside and picked up a bee balm plant. And as I, oh, so innocently, meandered up the front steps, there they were. Seriously, how could you resist the cuteness?
And to be honest, I am a complete ignoramus because I don't know what breed it is because the lady working there thought this one was a Dutch but when I came home and googled Dutch rabbits... yeah, I don't think so. And, I'm not even sure about the sex. She did know they were 8 weeks old and neither of us could really tell but I think it's female. So, for now, we're calling 'her' Lavender. Completely ridiculous, I know and I wished the breeder had been on-site, but, oh well. The breed isn't important and neither is the sex, really. We'll get 'her' neutered in time, anyway. But, if you do know anything about rabbits and perhaps can tell me what breed you think it may be that would great. She said the others in the box were mini-rex so... maybe this one is, too...?

Regardless, 'she's' about the sweetest thing ever and I'm happy to have her. But, just warning you, stay out of the feed store! If the itty bitty rabbits don't get you the baby chicks in the back of the store will.

So cute! She might be a mini-rex. We have a mini-rex and he is super sweet. Very very soft. Ours seems to have a little different head, though. Hopefully someone recognizes her breed. We are with our local 4H group- maybe I could see if anyone there knows. Good luck!

Wow, yours is beautiful! I had read the distinguishing character of the mini-rex is the velveteen-like fur but she has that slick baby coat so it's hard to tell.

Totally. Since we have plans to move, I have my brakes on...but I too am pulled toward those cute furry creatures. Beware once we are settled in our next home. Those bunnies and chicks will be flocking through the doors!

Been there! Ours was suppose to be a dwarf bunny, turned out to be a very large Rabbit! She is very sweet, love the name!
aw, the cuteness!! thanks for the warning. that little face would indeed be hard to resist! love those ears, too. ;)
Hilarious that you came home with a bunny. Love it! And Lavender is beautiful.
Hysterical! This is so something I would do...enjoy your new bunny.
oh my, "She" is very cute!!! A couple of years ago we gave in to the cuteness and have had two rabbits ever since. They provide good fertilizer for the gardens. :)
