Mini Rex
Rabbit
Mini Rex were derived from the Rex rabbit. Their unique, dense, plush, velvet-like fur, was caused by a mutation seen in wild rabbits in France in the late 19th century. The Rex mutation is recessive and causes the hair to protrude outwards from the body, instead of lying flat, and the guard hairs to be shortened to the length of the undercoat.

I can imagine that. This is truly an elegant color and appearance. I'm going to look for those other 18 colors too.

Thanks! Mini Rex currently have 18 different colors that are recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Assoc. (ARBA for short). Red is the pride of the barn, judges just love him.

Hello Amy. We used to raise rabbits and goats when I was a little girl. Some of my best friends in life have been my animals. I'm so excited to meet all of yours!
