| About the Rex: |
The Rex rabbit was born as a mutation in litters of wild grey rabbits in France. A French farmer and a parish priest bred and developed the first Rex rabbit. They called it "Castorex". In 1924, these unique rabbits made their debut at the Great Paris International Rabbit Show and, at that time, were brought into the United States. These original imports were often long eared, flat shouldered, and very long in body type. Despite these obvious faults, the Rex created a sensation wherever it was shown because of its unique fur. We've come a very long way since then on improving the type, and Rex fur still creates a sensation.
