Ok this may be a strange question and I will try to post pics tomorrow. I have 7 little kits there eyes are all starting to open :) well I have noticed the one just isn't as fluffy as the rest he has fur but its more fine? It seems completely healthy just looks really different compared to its brothers and sisters ! The rest have fuzzy ears etc and this one has only some it's fur feels more course! Does any one know why?? I at first was thinking it was sick or a developmently behind but its eyes are opening now at the same time as the rest! Both parents are meat mutts I posted pics of mom a couple days ago! I could it be that this one kit has a different kind of coat??
 
it's possible, even more likely since the parents are mutts. The kit with the strange fur probably takes after something that when into the parents makeup...but it isn't as dominate a trait so none of the others got it. I have a mix that apparently is part rex...found out when I got two little rex coated kits out of her when I knew the father had no rex in him :)
 
So what kind of breed of rabbit would have more course short fur when there kits? The fur reminds me of a real super short haired dog
 
I'm not really sure...none of the breeds I have experience with have fur like that...as it ages though more of the fur qualities should be come apparent so maybe pics at some point could help others guess as to what its make up is?
