Astrex Rabbit?

Hi everyone...a few weeks ago we welcomed a litter of 5 lionhead rabbits. It appears one of the kits has wavy fur. Is this an astrex or do some lionheads have fur like this? He's also the runt of the litter ( almost half the size of the others), but he is strong and very healthy. If he does express the astrex gene will there be health issues I need to be aware of? I know little to nothing about astrex rabbits.

Thanks so much for your help!

Sometimes odd fur is something a young rabbit will grow out of when they shed their baby fur. I dont' know about astrex and lionheads. About all I know of it is it can happen in rex rabbits, and it creates curly fur.

Thanks JBun! I talked to the breeder about it and she pretty much said the same thing. She said some of her kits had wavy hair, but they "grew out of it." They are adorable, so I don't mind it at all! Their hair reminds me of a Cocker Spaniel puppy...so soft and wavy! Here is a picture of one kit with his brother (a BEW) who has normal hair. They were "helping" me take out the trash. I love these little guys and am going to miss them so much when they go.
