Serenity (the female) has black short fur (very soft) and not a lip eared. She isn't a lion head and she is pretty big.

Night (the male) looks like a Dutch but a little bit different.

I'm sorry for not adding more details. Please if you know what breed they are or need more info feel free to message me :)

Sounds like you might have a Rex rabbit and a Dutch mix.

Rabbits are expensive, that's for sure. But so are fish. I spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on my fish and equipment and put loads of time into monitoring the water parameters, the nitrogen cycle, etc. All pets are expensive, really!

True dat! (Sorry XD) I think horses and saltwater tanks are very close in the race.
I have a freshwater 10 gal and I've spent so much on that and well into $1000 with rabbits (me and my parents)

My rabbit is really obedient and likes to take baths, doesn't pee or poop when she's out of her cage, and loves to cuddle with you! :D

This truly depends. Rabbits that are being kept if good conditions and are healthy, clean themselves and do not require any bathing. However there are some rabbits that were not kept well or are disabled and therefor become very filthy, mainly on their rump. This should be cleaned with a rump bath with zymox shapoo so that they do not get urine scald, maggots, and any other awful things. The problem is that most people don't realize is, you have to get ALL the soap off the rabbit and dry the fur completely. The soap, if left on the rabbit, can cause a lot of irritation to the rabbit. They could start itching drastically, get a rash, and many other issues. (Zymox shampoo is better than most, it is designed for animals and has some good ingredients in it.) Also if you don't dry a rabbit completely, they could develop skin dermatitis. This can be painful to the bunny.

So the rule of thumb is: Don't bathe a rabbit unless absolutely necessary.
If necessary, have a new paint tray and fill the deep end with water and bathe your rabbit that way so you can control the area the rabbit in in contact with water. Rinse all soap off the rabbit. Dry completely! Towels and hand cloths are great, and a blow dryer (for hair) on the low setting and on cool is okay as long as you get the bunny accustom to the sound and hold it at least a foot away from the rabbit.

Hope this helps!

It's not dangerous if you know what you are doing.
It just removes oils on there coat.
There is really no good reason to bath a rabbit unless it's a filthy matted animal.
Just as BB explained

Thanks daisy wolf :) I thought it might was a Dutch mix. But I'm not sure about serenity cuz she is kinda largish. How big do rexes get?

Another thing, when I got her, it said dwarf on the thing she was in whit h is obviously not true since she was biggish. About thirty days after I got her, she had five babies, and later on I had four baby bunnies :) yay. There were three black ones(raven, oblivian, zorro) and one brown one(justice). One of them disappeared so that's why I only had four after. About when they were almost two months old, talk four of my precious babies died. I was so sad. And Serenity, who is very shy and doesn't liked to be picked up, actually let me pick her up and cuddle with her. After a few months I put her in with night.and they did do stuff but she didnt end up pregnant. I also tried with a different male and the same thing happened. Does anyone have tips/ an explanation why this is happening (sorry I'm still kinda new to the breeding thing)
Thanks :)
