I got 2 lionhead rabbits from a pet store in Jackson, KY. I want to know how old do these rabbits look and which one looks older?
The black one is a girl and the gray one is a boy.
Oh, and don’t start telling me to seperate them or get them fixed because I’m not.
The gray one is bigger & is also lazy.. the black one likes to run around and doesn’t like to be played with.. I’ve had them for exactly a week.

And the gray one is alot fuzzier then the black one..
lol, I know they will live
.
I just wanted to know how old they looked, I want baby bunnies in the future.
I already have the owner’s planned out.
Thanks for the answers, but I know they aren’t a year old, since I bought them at a pet store with tons of other rabbits with them, so they are still babies..
I’m thinking their about 2 or 3 months old, since they cant sell them until their 8 weeks old.
Up to 14 weeks old, a rabbit’s age may be determined by measuring the size of hind feet and ears. After this time the only accurate method of age determination is by weight of the lens of the eye.
Once a rabbit is mature, it’s pretty much impossible to tell the exact age. The state of the teeth can give a clue (older rabbits tend to have yellower or browner teeth than young rabbits, who have very white teeth), as can the claws (older rabbits tend to have tougher, scaley claws, whereas younger rabbits have smooth claws). The fur isn’t much help, since even old rabbits don’t usually get gray with age.
If the rabbit is relatively young, you can weigh and take pictures of him/her and then compare them in a few months with new pictures. If the bunny has "filled out" and become less "slinky" looking, there’s a good chance s/he was under a year old. But that’s not a total guarantee, either.
I wish I could tell you there was a good way to know a bunny’s age–but there isn’t, unless you know who bred him.
