Young Black, Blue and Broken babies! So cute at this age!
Our Daughters started breeding and showing their little Mini-Rex Rabbits almost 8 years
ago, with great success. We are indebted to Donna of Sirius Mini Rex (Rhode Island) and Roger of Ral's Mini
Rex (New Hampshire) or all their mentoring and encouragement. We would like to thank them for their patience
and assistance, they have been so helpful to Deanna and Kimberly. They have
worked very hard to help us improve the herd and maintain the Mini Rex standard.
The Mini-Rex, and the full sized Rex, have a very different type of fur than other bunnies.
Due to a genetic mutation, their fur is all one length (guard hairs are the same length as the undercoat) giving a smooth
feeling of velvet when touched. In fact, some people refer to the Rex's as the living Velveteen Rabbit. There
are 14 different varieties approved for showing under ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Assoc.) standards.
We breed blues, blacks, castor and broken (White with spots- like dalmations!)
The standard for the Mini-Rex calls for a small, compact rabbit with thick dense fur.
Maximum weight is 4.25 lbs for bucks and 4.5 lbs. for does. They should have small heads, short ears and a nice smooth,
rounded arch over their back. They tend to be very gentle and loving and are a pleasure to pet and hold.
Please contact us for available babies. We breed for show and pet. Personality
is very important to us.
