He's definitely a cutie! Looks like he has some nice deep color on him, too :)
Molting is tough one. Most rabbits don't molt at the same time or for the same length of time. Whoever suggested upping protein to speed it up was on the money. I add sunflower seeds (not a lot) to help speed it up and keep the coat in prime/finish faster. Don't worry though, in my experience mini rexes usually go through a molt pretty fast.

Thank you :D Yeah I will try that , it seems as though its getting better but not done yet for sure . I forgot to get a better pic today but maybe tomarrow . I think I am going to the feed store tomarrow so I will get some Calf Manna for him too .


I have a question , when I used to have my other buns I was told if let outside they will grow their winter coat but not if they are inside ? I dont want him growing a winter coat really but he cant come in til sunday now . Will he be okay and his coat until then ?:/

I was thinking about one as a pet , cause I like to raise/sell Mini Rex, but do flemish eat alot of pellets ? I always thought due to size that they did . I want another breed other than mini rex. But not sure maybe lionhead or flemish ?

Flemish do eat a lot more than a Mini Rex, but although they are at least 3-4 times as large they don't necessarily eat 3-4 times as much. As a general rule, when body size increases 100%, the metabolic needs increase about 75%.

they do eat more but if u just had one it shouldn't be too much of a problem seeing as it's just a rabbit.
