What fur type is this?

[hokankai]

One of my foster rabbit's babies has a different coat type than the mother and the other kits. It's coming in wavy and he has curly whiskers. What type of fur is he gonna have? He's also the only blue tort out of the bunch.

Looks like it could be an astrix rabbit. Do you know what breed the mom or dad was and maybe have pictures?

 

[hokankai]

What is an astrix rabbit? Nope, no idea who the father was. But her other kits all have normal fur.

 

[woahlookitsme]

Do you have a picture of mom?

Sorry it is spelt Astrex Rabbit. You can google it and come up with tons of results.

Ooook, and yes! Here's mom. She's a very poor lionhead.

I googled Astrex and OH MY GOD! I've had rex rats before that looked like that, but rabbits come like that too? I need to add this to that "top things you didn't know about rabbits" posting.

Yeah that's EXACTLY what I thought when I first noticed his bub's fur. I had a rex rat and I was thinking about how his fur looked like my rat's fur. Hmm, I guess I'll just have to wait and see how he turns out! I'll update with pics as he grows

Such a neat looking bunny. Very unique. I've never seen a bunny who's hair curled or waved that way. And love his/her coloring.

I know! I'm going to be reaaally tempted to keep the little guy, haha.

 

[hokankai]

Day 15! He's been dubbed Curly for now

Next to his sibs

He looks quite a bit smaller than his siblings too. So cute! I am really not a fan of Astrex Rabbits at all but he is pretty darn adorable.

 

[hokankai]

He's really not much smaller, just less poofy, haha. The white one has been named Chubs though because he's huge!

 

[Ruki]

OMG I am in LOVEEEE with your curly haired babyyyyy!!!!! Im going to PM you

 

[MarisaAndToby]

If it was me I would have to keep it, it's so unique! Both the fur type AND the colour... I love it!

 

[hokankai]

I know....I just might have to! I've already started letting him meet Theodore through the cage and Theo seems very intrigued! We'll see what the next several weeks bring
