Mini Rex or Rex?

[Noirberrie]

Hi everyone..I was told my rabbit is a rex but can you tell if he is a mini rex or just a rex?

Is there any real differences? or just wait and see when he grows up

Thanks in advance

Rex is the short under fur--looks and feels like velvet. Rex and Mini , not only refer to the fur, but also the size. There is a standard which is around 8 or 9 pounds while the mini is around 5. Also noticed your bun has long whiskers, while the Rex has short, curly whiskers.

i also dont think your bun is a rex or mini rex. Here are some pictures of mini rex rabbits

A very popular pet bun but it is very easy to tell if they are one because of how poofy their fur looks. People say that if a rabbit is rex mix then they can have regular fur but usually some other identifiers are showing (such as the curly whiskers larry mentions)

Hmm so what could he be?
