About Aurora Rex Rabbit Ranch
Aurora Rex Rabbit Ranch is a hobby-sized rabbitry that has provided owner and manager, Karen, with over 30 years of rabbit-raising savvy learned 'on-the-job.' Karen began her career in rabbits with three small pet rabbits when she was still a teen. She found these rabbits in a pet store display window, and never looked back. Says Karen, "At the time, I couldn't think of any way I'd rather spend the few bucks in my pocket than on those beautiful rabbits. I brought home a black Dutch, a blue Polish, and a black English Spot. I had no cages, no rabbit information, and no feed, but I was ecstatic!" She had those rabbits well-cared-for in no time. A few years later Karen married a Swiss yodeler. Four kids followed, as well as countless more rabbits over the years. By then, Karen had discovered the incomparable REX rabbit with its amazingly plush fur. Since then she’s raised REX rabbits exclusively.

Aurora Rex Rabbit Ranch houses over 50 very nice rex rabbits, not counting the young stuff. Aurora rabbits have won many ribbons, including a few Best of Breed awards and one Best in Show. Nevertheless our rabbits are not by any means numbered among the best, or the national breeders. Our rabbits are, however, cared for meticulously using current best practices.
