A couple weeks ago, we butchered a meat rabbit and discovered bright yellow fat. A few days later, we found malocclusion in 3 different litters. Yellow fat is not dangerous, but it is undesirable in market rabbits because it looks spooky.
We have never before had occurrences of malocclusion in our rabbits. The good news is that the unwanted genetic recessives have finally revealed themselves. The bad news is the disappointment we feel, and the many months we face of test-breeding the best of our best stock to identify the carriers and eliminate both problems from the Aurora Rex Rabbits barn. We have already culled every known carrier, and will press on until we believe we can offer animals free of genetic problems. It might take us a year or more. Please watch this space - we'll let you know when we once again have excellent rex rabbits available. 
Please Contact Us if you have any questions or wish to be placed on our waiting list.

The "Fine Print"
We currently raise Standard Rex Rabbits, exclusively.Most of our rabbits are show quality, and price depends upon our assessment of the rabbits' ability to win on the judging table. But like every rabbitry, there's always a few in a litter that we don't think will impress a rabbit judge. These make great pets. And, we or our animals eat some of them. (That's because our rabbits are not 'pets' to us. See Animal Ethics.) We sell pet rabbits without pedigrees, for $20 each. Pets are healthy and friendly, though they may need handling to bring them to tameness. Some 'pet' rabbits might also happen to be show quality - if you ever decide you needed that pedigree after all, we're happy to supply the pedigree for a $15 fee. Health is guaranteed for an entire month if your family does not already have a resident rabbit. We don't think our rabbits will get sick, but if it does, we'll replace it or refund your money at your preference. If you already have rabbits, we are happy to guarantee the health of an Aurora Rex rabbit for 10 days. Why the difference? Because estimates of the numbers of sick pet rabbits, and especially rescue rabbits, run as high as 80-90%. If you bring our healthy rabbit home to your sick bunny, our healthy bunny could catch the germs of the sick rabbit--especially snuffles (pasteurella multocida). But we hope it won't happen in the first 10 days... Then again, if your other pet rabbit is healthy, it's all good! Our rabbits are free of known genetic defects. We won't sell you a rabbit that we don't think is top quality for the purpose you intend the rabbit to serve.
