Mini Rex Questions

[HopsandLops]

How common is the color Castor? We, as a rescue, have seen right now 15mini rex rescues, all but 3 have been Castor (even my old man Snickers is Castor, he is the only reason I know the color), and I was just wondering if it was Common.

We have a shelter pull that only has a very tiny, like half inch, tail, it doesn't seem to from an injury. Is there anything else that could cause that?

I've got broken castor boy... pretty common, I think... around here, anyways

My girl Scooter is a castor. I also have a red.

Castors are pretty common, I think.
I know they are more common than REWs.

Castor is one of the more common varieties.

Ok thanks, I thought so, but never really put thought into it before now. My Snickers was the first Castor I ever saw, he is very dark too, and the shelter we adopted him from was the people that told me that was what that color was, so I just know it, I do know other colors, but I double check on line.

They may be "common" to you breeders, but they are not common as adoptables at all anywhere in the US(which is a very good thing!!). I want a Castor Rex Female, kinda bad. Hardly ever see them. I think Castor is the prettiest of the colours, then that reddish/orange!

Well right now we have three, two adoptable. They are both girls, very pretty and sweet. And well very castor. My favorite color has to be Red, hands down, but can't find any near here.

I would have loved a Castor Mini Rex here, too. I never see them in rescue. I see people with brokens, but I've always wanted to a little Bo B Bunny (or a Scooter or a Scone -- is Scone a Castor?)

Red is nice, too. And of course Harlequin. My heart bunny was a Harlequin.

If it wasn't for Aurora369 and 'our' mini-rex rescues (from the same source), I probably wouldn't see any non-broken mini-rexes around here at all. Not a lot of mini-rexes, period.

Oh what pretty babies! I will try and get a picture of Snickers tonight, I don't have any recent ones. He is a "big boned" boy. He is really dark for a Castor, but still Castor.

I just checked and Scone is an Opal, which is apparently very similar to a Castor, but darker.

Give it a look! Maybe Snickers is one too?
