Alicia - 2010-03-11 mini rex aren't hard to show. i show my black otter and he shows great. my chocolate also showed great. if u send me an email i will send you a picture of how they pose. make sure that their nails are clipped and their coat is silky and smooth. use a pumice rock to brush their fur instead of an actual brush, the brush will pull on the fur and make it uneven. my email is suttonminirex@hotmail.com
Christina - 2010-03-13 Well you should get someone to help you or sign up for 4-H
sydney hansen - 2010-03-15 You need to get into a 4-hH club . If you live in emunclaw zip 98022 you can get into rainner rabbits 4-H club.
Emily - 2010-05-26 You should join 4-h and ABRA American Rabbit Breeders Association. I go to shows all the time in ABRA. I am in 4-h two but they only show once a year. Go to goggle a search American Rabbit Breeder Association. Then click on the web site and click on shows. Then you can search shows in your state and shows in state close to yours. You wake up really early and get back in the after noon the shows are so much fun. You learn alot about your rabbit. Make sure to bring a good book to read because that's what I do.
Sarah - 2010-04-19 I am taking in a young mini rex bunny from someone who got it as a gift and can't keep it. I am concerned about a spot on the back of its neck where there is no fur. This is a white bunny with tan around its eyes and on its ears. Could this be ringworm or is this normal hair pattern for a young bunny?

Emily - 2010-05-26 Feel the spot and make sure it is not skin cancer. That is a sign of cancer for rabbits. It could be a little virus to. My advice take it to the vet before it gets any worse.
christina - 2010-03-19 Well we just got a doe rabbit and they are running around their cage like crazy the doe will not let me touch her what do I do?

shannon - 2010-04-14 Christina just leave her alone she might be having babies soon.
Emile - 2010-04-18 Leave her alone.
Emiy - 2010-05-26 First of all you need to make sure your rabbits are in separate cages because all rabbits are territorial after a certain age. If she starts to pluck her hair out she showing a sign that she is stressed or having perparing a place for her baby rabbits. If she is not plucking hair separate her in a new cage with out another rabbit. Don't ever put a buck and a doe together unless you are breeding. If you are breeding you always bring the doe to the buck's cage.
Maria Hernandez - 2010-05-17 I got a mini rex rabbit on my birthday I was so happy it's so tiny and super cute I love it......when I hold him he is so calm, he loves being with me, well at least I think cause he always calm lol, but he doesn't really like it when other people touch him...
Christina Diaz - 2010-05-04 I have a mini rex rabbit that is 3 weeks old and almost a month. He is really scared when you go to grab him or go to see him. It seems like someone did something mean to him before I got him. What can I do to make him feel safe at his new place. I only had him for a few days now.

Linda W. - 2010-05-12 Hi, Christina~~Every rabbit has a different personality, some can be more shy or nervous than others, especially if they were not handled gently and often as babies. I have adopted adult rabbits before, and I have found it is best to do the following things to help your bunny be at ease with you: (1) talk sweetly to your bunny whenever you are nearby! The sound of your voice can be soothing and reassuring and identify you better; (2) ask your bunny's permission to enter his cage by letting him sniff the back of your cupped hand before you do any work in his cage. I have a very persnickety bunny who doesn't like much interaction. After he has sniffed and identified me, he will usually let me clean his cage or invite me to pet him when he is in the mood, and I respect his wishes; (3) spend time around your bunny when you've given him a treat to eat, and he will start to identify you with good things coming his way; (4) whenever your bunny will allow, pet gently and talk to him without picking him up, but always show proper etiquette by stroking the top of his forehead first (the sign that he is "top rabbit"). For more information, look up "The Language of Lagomorphs," an excellent article on bunny language that will really help you understand what all your bunny is telling you! Good luck, and enjoy your new rabbit.
bramble\'s mum - 2010-05-01 I have had rex rabbits for many years, standard & now mini. Placid natured & great fun. bonnie & clyde, pip & velvet. Now have bramble who likes to come indoors to see me when I am in the kitchen doing dishes. I used to have high blood pressure but not any more. Rex bunnies are so soothing to stroke. All mine have loved being cuddled.
Crystal - 2010-04-07 I just bought a mini - rex yesterday. He's only 1 month old and super sweet. He doesn't like to be picked up but once he's in my arms he's perfectly content. Very calm and curious. I love him and I'm very pleased. I named him Bently :)

Veronica J - 2010-04-06 Can someone help me? I just got my Mini Rex Doe the day before Easter. She has a terrible eye infection. I can not even see her eye. What do I do?

shannon - 2010-04-14 Hi veronica, take her to the vet as soon as possible.
Charlotte - 2010-04-23 I would recommend bringing your Mini Rex Doe to the veterinarian. Since you just got your rabbit, it would also be wise to check with the pet store you got her from to see if they would treat her eye infection. The vet trip shouldn't cost too much, probably around 50 dollars just depending on what type of infection it is. Also, make sure to bring her soon, you don't want to risk a young rabbit's life just because of a little infection.
Meghan - 2010-04-06 I got a mini rex bunnie yesterday and I love her. I named her zoey. She is very little and loves to hop around, and she likes to be held.
Christina - 2010-03-13 I have a mini rex I was trying to get him to poss but he bit me two times I'm guessing he wants to breed, I will let him breed.

sydney hansen - 2010-03-15 Are you in 4-h.? You might want to get him some wood sticks from the pet store. He does not want to breed.
bunny foster mom - 2010-04-01 Just because a rabbit bites you does not mean it wants to breed! We have enough homeless rabbits (including mini rex's) in shelters. We don't need you producing more rabbits just because a rabbit bites you!
shannon - 2010-04-14 Hi christina my mini rex bites me too, but I don't think she wants to breed.
A sweet, cuddly nature along with a plush velvety coat makes the Mini Rex a favorite pet bunny!

Just because a rabbit bites you does not mean it wants to breed! We have enough homeless rabbits (including mini rex's) in shelters. We don't need you producing more rabbits just because a rabbit bites you!
Hi christina my mini rex bites me too, but I don't think she wants to breed.
