The both look like Cinnamon crosses. Don't see any Rex/Mini Rex in them, fur is too long.
But Cinnamons are so darn rare, you know? The color (black tortoise) is extremely common throughout many breeds. :/Heartlandrabbitry said:The both look like Cinnamon crosses. Don't see any Rex/Mini Rex in them, fur is too long.
Well they may or may not be Cinnamons mixes, I just don't see any Mini Rex/Rex in them...ChickenPotPie said:But Cinnamons are so darn rare, you know?

The Rex coat is recessive, you will only see it when the rabbit inherits the gene from both of its parents. If you cross a Rex-coated rabbit to a non-Rex, the first generation will all have the normal, longer coats. If you get Rex-coated offspring when crossing a Rex to a normal coated rabbit, the normal coated animal must have a Rex ancestor (either that, or it just randomly repeated the Rex mutation itself!). When I said I thought I saw some Mini Rex in there, I was referring to body type, not the coat. The coat is clearly not Rex, but nobody would expect it to be, on a Rex cross.Heartlandrabbitry said:Don't see any Rex/Mini Rex in them, fur is too long.
