Cross between a Red Mini Rex and Frosted Pearl Holland Lop. It wasn't on purpose btw
 
I was outside cleaning and it was a gorgeous day and they all had their eyes open. I put them in the bucket because they wouldn't sit still.

[align=center]Do you mean both parents have to have rex fur? :)

Because at the sanctuary I volunteer at, someone brought in a rabbit without rex fur, and she gave birth to 6 babies 3 or 4 had rex fur :biggrin:

[align=center]I'm sorry but this is not true. It's if they carry the rex gene.

My proof...
There was a mother rabbit brought into the sanctuary I volunteer.
This is the mother:

No rex fur.

Here are some of her babies:
The one on the left side has rex fur, the one on the right does not.

It's blurry but you can tell she's a rex.

So the rex fur x rex fur saying isn't always true.. =)
 
I don't think it's "true" rex fur either and the mom could have been from a rex pairing herself and the father could have had rex fur.

I don't think you would have any rex fur babies if neither of the parents have it in the background.

I just know these babies don't have rex fur
 
[align=center]Well yeah, these babies don't =)

The ones at the sanctuary had MOSTLY true Rex Fur. I see a couple normal rabbit furs spread in the last baby left's coat, but you can only feel that soft velvety rex fur <3 (There's only one left at the Sanctuary, the one in the last picture- Dorito- she's so sweet.)

And yes, that's what I meant XD The dad obviously had to have Rex fur. People are just always saying you HAVE to have two bunnies with rex fur to get any rex fur outta it.. and that's not ALWAYS true. Usually true though.. =)
