Two breeds

Question

Can I put two different breeds of rabbits together, because I like the Mini Rex and Holland Lops? Or do they have to be the same?



                              Thanks!!!

Answer
Yes, you can breed two different breeds of rabbits - just be careful that the buck is not bigger than the doe because the babies will be too big for her to deliver.

Also, don't expect your babies to be Holland lops with mini rex coats.  More often than not, lops mixed with another breed lose the lopped ears.
