Physical
Attributes
The mini rex is a small breed with
fairly short ears. The face is fairly
thick, but it is not particularly short.
The body is close-coupled and rounded.
It comes in many different colors. The
most easily noticed attribute is the
amazing fur, which feels like velvet.

Personality
Mini rex are generally a very friendly
breed. They have a medium level of
activity, and can be perfectly content to
play or to just sit on a lap and be
petted.

Coat Type and
Grooming
The coat is upright, short, and very
plush. The guard hairs are the same
length as the undercoat, and the coat is
very thick, creating a plush, velvety
texture. Mini Rex should not be brushed
with a brush or a comb unless there is a
distinct matt that needs removing.
Instead, to remove loose hair, moisten
the palm of the hands with water until
they are just damp enough to be sticky,
then run them over the rabbit's coat
backwards. This will remove loose hair
and static electricity.
