Dishwashing Bunny
Cinnamon finishes up cleaning all the acorn squash on my fork and prepares to steal it. Hard to take her seriously as a master thief with buck teeth.

I think Cinnamon needs some of those tooth whitening strips!!
Since Cinnamon disapproves WAY more than she smiles, she's not too concerned with how white her teeth are.
OMG she is too adorable. Tiara used to do that when i gave her stuff via teaspoon. :)
Just too cute!
We are boarding a bunny at my practice for the next two weeks. She is really cute, but I'm not sure what breed she is. Can you do rabbit ID from a verbal description?
She has short, up-right ears and a little short nose, and weighs about 5 or 6 pounds. Her color is interesting - a jumble of tan and blue-gray that I might call merle in a dog, or dilute tortoiseshell in a cat.
Also, as far as I can tell, she approves of staying in our staff break room. (Well, I can't very well board a prey animal in with cats or dogs, now, can I?) In fact, I sensed no disapproval at all as we cleaned her cage today. (Why would an owner drop off a pet at the vet's office in a filthy cage?) Is disapproval a universal rabbit characteristic, or is it breed-specifc?

I'm not very good on my rabbit id. Short upright ears and a short nose sounds like it's some type of dwarf breed, but they can be all mixed. Latte (the white disapproving rabbit with black eyeliner) was a dwarf hotot mix. His ears weren't as short as a true dwarf rabbit.
Why don't you check out the Netherland Dwarf Rabbit site show winners and see if any of those match the bunny you're boarding.

I have yet to encounter a rabbit that does not disapprove--except for the cartoon version at Annie's Pasta. I have found that when people don't see disapproval, they are living in denial.
I agree that the short ears sound like a dwarf breed. However, dwarf rabbits are usually smaller (3-4 pounds) so I'm not sure.
Thanks, Birdchick and MegJ: Well, Roxie (the rabbit) is definitely not a Netherland dwarf. While her ears and nose are short (at least compared to a wild rabbit), they are significantly larger than those shown on the ANDRC site.
I found some other rabbit breed photos online, and Roxie doesn't really match any of them. I guess she is a mixed breed dwarf. Whatever her parentage, she is a funny little thing. I think we will enjoy having her around for the next 2 weeks.
