So I know this will help a lot with showmanship at the fair, and for my own general knowledge, but I need to know what rollback fur is. I know the general idea, but I'm a little confused as to what counts as rollback, and what is wool. Let me explain:
I know the four main fur types:
Normal (flyback) - when you run your hand over the back of the rabbit from the tail to the head, the fur "flies" back into it's original position.
Rollback - when you run your hand over the back of the rabbit from the tail to the head, the fur stays in that position, or slowly "rolls" back into it's original position.
Rex - a special fur known to only a few breeds such as the Rex, Mini Rex, and the Velveteen Lop (currently in development). The fur is very short and soft. When you run your hand over the back of the rabbit from the tail to the head, it stays in that position.
Wool - very thick, fluffy wool, similar to sheep's wool, but is noted to be softer.
I'm confused as to whether one of my rabbits, Moss, has rollback fur, or wool. I thought he has wool, but many people have said he doesn't. What do you think?
Here is his page - you can look through his pictures.
