So as some of you may or may not have seen, we adopted a stray rabbit (looks to be for the most part, a mini lop [not purebred]).
She gave birth to a litter of four, and for some reason one of the rabbits is completely different to the others. The others are nice and fuzzy with ears that are starting to lop like mama.
The different one has longer ears, a different shaped face, is much smaller and has short fur... that is a little wavy.... we are hazarding a guess to say it's a rex?
Does this happen in rabbits? is this possible or is he just slower to develop? Could he have a different dad to the other three? is it possible Mama had some sort of dormant rex gene that came out?
