Wow!! I'm so jealous that someone hasstarted breeding mini lops to rex's!! That's my goal for whenI start a rabbitry... I'm so excited that I'm not the onlyone who's wanting to do this. Although I think the breederhas a bit different goals for the breed then I want, but that's okay,each to his own.

Here's the website, it's pretty cool, and they've got lots of info about genetics.

They are Rex rats. Scabbers is a Dumbo/Rex cross.He has the big ears and the curly fur. Although, as he'sgetting old, his fur is starting to thin.
