Rex or Satin?

Chloe is a rescue bun, and we've had her for about ten months now. (she's sitting next to me on my computer chair and nudging my elbow for pets right now) When we first got her, I did some research and decided that she was probably a Rex, but the more I read about how their coat length, the more I think she may not be a Rex. She's extremely soft and her fur is very fine, but it's still about an inch long, and it seems like she has a downy under coat along with a longer guard hairs that are black tipped.

Your pictures aren't showing up anymore, could you repost them?

Yes, rex fur is all one length and pretty short. Very plush like velvet.

Normal rabbit fur can be very soft, especially if they are on a good diet.

satins have a glossy sheen to their coats. if that helps

I would say Satin, but the sheen to the coat might just be from the camera flash ^^

That was better!

yes, she's always that shiny! Especially after being groomed, she down right glistens.

Does she have an velvet coat??

Her coat dont look velvety!

I know! I was thinking Rex due to size and softness, but she's just so shiny. And, dare i say it....silky feeling. XD

She's about eight and a half pounds, by the way.

she isn't a rex.

I would guess maybe satin, but she really could be just a black rabbit (like a new zealand, mix, ect)

the true way to test is to look at her fur under a microscope, satin fur looks different. maybe if Pam stops by she will post a photo example of it, I think she has one.

and if she is a satin! yay! I have a satin boy, and I just LOVE him to death!

her fur looks like it's very thin and white close to her skin and then gets slightly thicker and black towards the ends. does that help?

That's what i was going say an satin no Rex

My little girl is a Satin then, I suppose. I feel bad for passing her off as a Rex for so long! XD
thanks for all the help, everyone!
