Hi, I live in central Texas and am thinking of getting some Rex to show. Are Rex especially sensitive to heat? Also do they need to be kept in air-conditioning to have prime fur?

Hello, I have children in WI 4H. Looking for show rex any breeders in our area? Please respond

Hi, we live in Minnesota, about an hour from Hudson, WI.   Are you close to Hudson?  We will be breeding our Rex rabbits in early Spring.  If you are still in need of a rabbit.  We may have one for you by next showing season.  Jennifer

I have a Rex that I bought from a co-worker and I love him to pieces! He is so adorable! I though I might add his name to the list of good names. We noticed how the marking across the nose looked like a bow, so we toyed around with names that included Bo and came up with Bo Diddley (yes, the famous blues player). I think it's a perfect bunny name!

I learned so much on your site. Wish I had found it years ago when we first brought our "Soft" home. She was a chocolate mini rex who was one of our best buddies for 5 years until she died in May from an infected sore on her left hock. Such a sweet bunny she was!

Hey

Great site. umm i just got  a baby rex its about 3 months old and  i read that  byou have to get it sterailize before 5 months is that true.

Hi

Good site. I have just received a new unneutered rescue rabbit.he is Rex with lovey pleasant tempererament.  he is to go in with two Englih Spot does who's Dutch boy recently I had to put down.  i have now  8 bunnies again.I am not a breeder, just -home them when they need a new home.   I wont breed from the Rex so am having him neutered but am intrigued by his colouras he looks like a chesnut, Dark dark almost black chestnut brown all over with no patches.  anyway we have called him 'Chesterfield' after the furniture.  Is this a cmmon colour for Rex's? he camefrom a pet shop where he had been returned as the owner was moving and they put him up for adoption. 

I have never had a Rex before but he is a lovely lad.  Although i wonder if they're more prone to the heat stroke as it is so thick?   he seems to love the hay and grass (good sign!) and has settled into his new home in a week. He lets me stroke himand has enjoyed seeing all the other bunnies in their cages. 

Anyway, other names for bunnies we have are; S0X (white feet-like socks) and Miss Cornelia.  The bunny we had recently I had to haveput down was called BLAZE. As that's not on your listhe would be plesed tothink a bunny had been named after him.

With love

Sandra

Hi,  I was so happy to find your site.  There are not many for Standard Rex.  I am a new at breeding/showing.  We have a Blue Otter and I noticed that she has some brown hairs showing up on her head.  Is this normal?  Is she shedding those hairs? Or is it a flaw?  Her sire and dam were both blue.  The dam had 2 legs.  She has both opal and castor in her pedigree.  Can you please help me with this?

Hello! My name is Jo-Ann. I am just starting my rabbitry of standard Rex. I am about 40 min. north of Toronto, Ontario Canada. It is real hard to find Standard Rex here. We have plenty of Mini Rex. Love your website. I am amazed to see so many Rex's at once. Keep up the good work!

Dear Jenny,

I am a new rex rabbit owner myself...I had reserched the importance of how our bunnies should ALWAYS have plenty of hey available at all times, its almost HALF of whats their daily nutrition needed. Alfafa when they are babies (up to 12 weeks) and only pellets, no fresh veggies yet...After 12 weeks Timothy hey is suppabley the best and is the cheapest also.  Then slowly introcude them the fresh veggies ONE AT A TIME for about a full week to make sure they arnt allergic b4 intruducing another veggie, (Just like we do with newborn bbabies when they start eating baby foods!) Defo important VERY LIMITED FRUITS even for a full grown Rex we really shoulnt give more then a tablespoon a few days just as a treat. (My bunnie prefers raisins & apples) Did you also know Bunnies can literally be SCARED TO DEATH, Ive seen it myself happen..My sisters dog went after her neigbors rabbitt and it jumped up high landed on ground and never moved again, the poor thing.  Anyways, it could of been something already wrong from birth, so many possibilities so I hope you didnt give up on getting another rabbit! Good luck to you !!

I have a question...In your website you say that hay is ok to feed your rabbit.  What do you mean by hay...grass hay or alfalfa hay?  We just had a 6 week old bunny die and I can't figure out what could of caused it but the alfalfa we started to put in their cage to add another choice to eat besides the rabbit pellets.  Is this what caused the death?  It looked like the mini rex bunny just layed down and spread out a little and died. 

Thanks, Jenny

We just had our rex rabbitt only about 4 mmonths now so Im still studying up alot on how to take care of our "Mixey Moo" the best. (This is the 1st bunny we've ever owned!) Loved your site, great info, expecially listing all the vareties of food we can give our Rex now as Im sure shes bored with fresh broccoli & parlsey by now lol  Thx again! Anita 

Thank you so much for posting all this awesome info! I just got two Rex rabbits - one is a Lilac Jr. Buck and the other is a Black Otter Jr. Buck. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Rex rabbits, especailly for Showmanship in 4-H! Last year, I got 2nd place with my friend's Mini Rex, so we'll see how well I can do this year!

To Jenny Williams - As far as I know, you shouldn't feed alfalfa to a very young bunny. The earliest I would say that you can feed alfalfa to a rabbit would be 12 weeks, or even later, just to be safe. You're supposed to avoid feeding many greens to a baby rabbit because their digestive system can't take too much greens. I would say that Timothy hay is good for all ages, and you should save the alfalfa for an older bunny. Hope this helps!

Hello! I just wanted to post a comment and say this website really helped me out today!! I wanted to know more about what my baby Jack "Rabbit" ( Californian breed) could eat! He really enjoyed the small slice of banana and fresh corn husk yall recommeded for a treat!! Thank for the help!! Will be back again soon to look around!

I am interested in beginning to raise rabbits for meat and fur.  I am very interested in the Rex rabbit.  Do you offer visits to your rabbitry?  We live in Helena, MT and I would like to come and see your operation and ask questions if possible.  We have had rabbits in the past with one of our daughters starting us off with Californians for a 4-H project many years ago.  I just have 2 small pet rabbits right now, but am looking to start raising in earnest soon.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Rex rabbits are one of the most intelligent breeds I've raised, second only to French Lop, compared to Angora, Satin, Neth Dwarf, Mini Lop, English Lop, Holland Lop, and Mini Rex. My housebunny was a Flemish Giant X Rex named Ruth: 14 lbs of fun and games. She would ride on the vacumn sweeper, chased the cats, and let the Amazon parrot ride on her when she had on her harness. She stayed out of reach of curious beaks when there was no harness to give a beak- or toe - hold! You'll always remember Thumper, but a new bunny will capture your heart and help heal the pain of losing Thumper. Good luck in your quest! Madella

I had a rex rabbit for 9 years 3 months and she just passed away at 10 years of age on Tuesday the 5/25/10...  This was the most unique rabbit I ever owned, plus she was my first pet, she was very smart, knew certain words such as carrot, knew that one very well! I hope to find another close to what Thumper was? I sure do miss her very much!

Very nice site. I and my daughter raised 9 breeds in an old horsebarn in Buckeye, AZ. Our fav breed was Rex and then mini rex came along. We had the first two trios in Az from Ca back in 1991.  I am in Georgia now and bought a broken fawn doe at the local livestock auction mid Aug. She is a doll baby! Too bad I didn't know her bunnies were at the auction too. I'd love to find a Rex breeder here in Ga or eastern Al. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

I am looking for a standard doe rex, that I can breed.

LOVE the website! I am a 4H leader and fair superintendant for Owyhee County and I am always looking for info to pass on.

Please check out my chicken and rabbit website    http://roostershamblin.wordpress.com/

I think your site is very nicely put together. I am so interested in Rex, because I have Sr. Buck and his color is broken brown. I currently looking for a doe for him. Because when he was a Jr. he received best of breed and best of show in the local fair. Just email me if you have any broken brown doe's for sale. I live in Aberdeen, SD. Rex's are not that popular here, but I want keep with the breed. Thank you, Laura P.
