Exploring the pasture
that's what I was thinking. We had some mini rex/cinnamon crosses and their coats were not "rex-like" at all. the were colored the same as this rabbit in the thread though.manybirds said:

I really hope she's not a mini! I truly think she's just young.

Chillin' with the herd
She DOES have rex fur, so she is mostly rex. It just isn't super nice rex fur. Rex is easy to see when their whiskers are curled - HAS to be rex. Rex fur is recessive, so she has to have two doses - the F1 cross of a rex parent onto a normal coated parent (that does NOT carry rex) would be 100% normal coated. Probably purebred, but not very good type. Wether she's standard or mini will depend on what size she hits.
She is a tortie in color. Cute!

No. I wasn't saying she is thin, she looks fine to me. I was just thinking, given where you got her from, she would probably benefit from having some good care. She will probably begin to look even better than she does now. And, btw, I think she is very pretty. Certainly worth the $9!aggieterpkatie said:

Aha! Thanks for that explanation. Well, we'll see how she does as she gets older! I'm almost 100% certain she's a girl. Maybe I'll try to take pics and post them tomorrow to see what ya'll think.Caprice_Acres said:

Firstly I do agree she looks like a mini rex to me. Probably 4 months at least though I could be wrong about that. I have never seen the standard rex as young rabbits so it could be a standard rex. I bet she is a purebred, she just isn't a great purebred. We raise mini rex, have champion lines in our pedigrees and still on rare occasions end up with a bunny that looks like her fur quality wise.
Also want to say I wish you all lived closer to me. We often will end up keeping show quality kits for 4 plus months before anyone is interested in them. From our Siamese satin's to our mini rex and mini lops. We also usually sell them for $15-20. There are always lots of rabbits around here though so no one really wants to pay a lot when they can get them for $5 or even free. I took 8 pure bred tatooed mini lop kits to the local swap. Priced them at $10 with a partial pedigree (only missing one generation on the sires side) and I brought all 8 back home again. But a friend of mine got a free "polish" (its not a polish, its just a mix) and I picked up a mini lop buck with a pedigree for $5 that is 4 months old.
I think you have a pretty doe there, but I wouldn't of paid $9 for her, without a pedigree and some information on what she is. But like I said there are more choices here, and prices are a lot lower.

We were having a hard time as well, We just got a purebred REd new zealand doe (3 months old) and a 6 month old Silver fox doe for our son to work with. It hasn't been easy getting started. We are just using a new zealand/rex mix buck for now. But still don't have a litter of kits yet.aggieterpkatie said:
