This rabbit looks like an english spot/ a mini lop or a dutch rabbit. They are often a combination. If the rabbit has testicles beside its bottom it is quite obvious. However if you cant see testicles i would get a vet to confirm its sex.

    That is a very cute bunny! There are many many breeds of rabbits and it is hard to pinpoint a certain breed sometimes, but I would say that you are probably looking at a version of a Rex. (Mini or regular) It is always possible that you could have a mixed breed as well :) As for age and sex, that is something best suited for a Vet to tell you! It is a great idea to take your bunny in for a health check up regardless, because rabbits can have all sorts of random health issues and need very specific care. Your vet will be able to walk you through everything you need to know! (Plus, rabbits are notoriously hard to sex! )
