What is a Rex Rabbit?
A Rex rabbit is a very docile, good-natured creature that would make a great addition to any family. It has short, plush fur which has a beautiful texture.
Types of Rex Rabbits
There are two main Rex rabbit breeds: the Standard Rex rabbit and the Mini Rex rabbit. We breed only the Standard Rex Rabbit.
History & Origin
The breed originated after the discovery of a litter of wild gray rabbits in a French village in 1919. Thoroughly impressed with the wonderous fur, breeders decided to start a new lineage.
The Rex breed comes from the recessive rex gene mutation which gives the rabbit its plush, dense, and smooth fur.
Rex rabbits were displayed in Paris at an international rabbit show in 1924. They were then introduced to the United States before being accepted by the American Rabbit Breeder’s Association (ARBA).
