Hi, I’ve had this little guy for a couple months now, was told I got him at one month. He has yet to grow any bigger than this, not skiddish and is curious/likes to interact with people. Just wondering if any one has any clue to what Breed he might be? Thanks!

To be honest my first thought on seeing the little one was "Cottontail". I am sure someone else might have a better idea.
that was my first thought.
I also thought brittania petite but the ears are wrong. Looks like a young cottontail.

google image search turns up what britannia petites would look like vs...
I feel like our answer lies in the ears. The petite's are shorter and pointier? And the fur looks different, I don't have any personal experience with petites, they look like they have fur similar to satins? Between apparent texture of fur and the ears... Cottontail is my final judgement. IMHO.
Could be a little mutt but I doubt it.
Not a rabbit - Oryctolagus cuniculus - but a Cottontail - Sylvilagus sp.

For what it is worth, Cottontail rabbits cannot breed with Domestic rabbits. They will not produce viable young. However, they can and will introduce endo/ectoparasites to your domestic buns.
