Mini Rex and Standard Rex

[Yorkshire_Chinchilla]

I have feeling that I have bucks that are standard rex and not mini rex. How can you tell the difference?

 

[jujub793]

standard rexes are pretty big, i'm not sure how you would tell in a new born rabbit though. i have a standard rex and she is at least and probably more than, ten pounds.

Standard Rex:
Bucks: 7 1/2 to 9 1/2 pounds. Ideal weight of 8 pounds.


Mini Rex:
Bucks - average weight 3 - 4.25 pounds

Are they Jr's or Sr's???

 

[Yorkshire_Chinchilla]

Well I have one JR and other is SR.... what should JR weigh?

 

[mistyjr]

Standard Rex:
Junior Bucks- Under 6 months of age, not over 8 1/2 pounds. Minimum weight 4 pounds.

Mini Rex:

Do your rabbits have pedigrees? If so than from their parentage you should be able to tell if they are of a certain breed from the paper work alone.

However in general,a standard rex is quite a bit larger, in fact twice as large as a mini rex, and they are built slightly longer in proportion, both in body and ears.

There's just not a lot of breeders out there that does those colors. I breed Mini Rex's in Chinchilla. My doe had 2 babies 1 chin and maybe a seal or black. And My broken black doe is due monday with a Chin buck..
