hi all

can anyone help

 

[SLRabbits]

A mini rex would be like what Bo is.

Flemish is what Apollo or Cali is.

Hope this helps.

varna, a mini rex only weighs about 4pounds. They come in many colors. The fur looks and feels like velvet.Thisis a picture of Bo

Flemish Giants are usually at least 14 pounds and only come in7 colors; White, Black, Light gray, Steel gray, Sandy and Fawn. As faras I know there are no mini Flemish Giants, they're all huge.

I can't believe i missed this thread! :shock:

Varna, I think everyone has said so but in a bit more detail:

Mini-rex are a fairly new breed to the UK and USA. They werecreated in 1984 by crossing a rex lynx doe who was small to adwarf rex. Pretty cool huh?

This photo is a good one that I have posted before, but I think it shows the fur of a mini-rex (bo here) very well.

Now there are standard rex and they are bigger like about 6 or 7 poundsI think. Mini-rex are about half that or a little more.

I don't know that much about flemish giants but they are humongo bunners! lol!

I'd love to know more about the breed history.
