I've heard of cresthill and know it's a good name to have on a pedigree. :)

Thanks for the comments. She's actually smallish/average size. I think it's my hands that make her look larger (i have tiny hands). Her ears are about 3in. I'm learning to pose correctly. Did I do an okay job?

My advice: Try to buy mini rex that are older than 8 weeks to get a better idea on type and fur. :)

I picked up a new doe yesterday! She's 5 months old and has lovely fur. Im just starting out. What do you think of her? Thanks!

I just had a first timer mini rex doe deliver on day 35-36. Scared the crap out of me! Everything was fine though. But, I agree that with her history, I'd take your doe to a vet if you're sure on your dates. Good luck.

I have a litter of 17 day old mini rex kits. Mom is an opal, Dad is a lilac. I am 98% sure I know what colors I've got..but want input from all you experts. :biggrin: Kit 1: Kit 2: Kit 3: Kit 4: The whole litter: Thanks!! -Jessica

Good luck! I just had my first experience with a first time doe. It went well. Mine built her nest in the nestbox and is doing wonderfully caring for the babies. The only thing is she took a little bit longer to feed the babies the first time. It had been near 24 hrs and they were looking...

i have 4 cats (adding a 5th this sat), a puppy..german shepherd who is shedding his puppy fur out in favor of his adult coat... and 8 rabbits inside. (rabbits temporarily inside while bunny barn plans are being made) So, I certainly know what you mean about fur. I sweep and vacuum probably 3+...

Prayers for the remaining baby and for mommy bunny!

I would block the sides now. My current kits are only 10 days old and two managed to get out last night (NIC cage). Thankfully I got to them in time and they are just fine. But, they certainly can come out before 3-4 weeks! Learn from my mistake. :)

Thanks. I'll take better pictures tomorrow.

please help me critique my first litter of mini rex's. they are all chocolate and all doe's. 10 weeks old. i'm trying to decide who's the pick of the litter..and i think i have a really good idea.. but as this is my first litter, i'd love some advice. i know the pics aren't fantastic..i...

I got a chance to take some pictures of my 4 day old litter! In this litter I got 5 chocolates (1 choco kit has a lighter belly..but barely..wonder what he'll turn out to be..) and 1 white kit. Enjoy! Thanks for looking!!! :biggrin:

I've been using bleach and water. But, I just ordered some vanodine so I'll be using that when it arrives. :)
