Pictures of Rabbits
These pictures of rabbits were taken here at Aurora Rex Rabbit Ranch. Since we raise only standard rex rabbits, this album is all about rex rabbits.

Chinchilla Rex Rabbits
These chinchilla rex rabbits are just youngsters about 4 weeks old. They are not weaned yet.
Chinchilla fur is mostly pearl white, with just the ends tipped in black. If you blow into the coat, you'll also see a gray band right next to the skin. Chinchilla is an agouti color, with the yellow pigment stripped away, leaving just the black tips, and the ring that should be reddish, is simply white.
Pictures of Otter Rex Rabbits
The first picture is of a black otter rabbit who is now a champion. She has a typical "commercial" body type. Black otter coloration is dominant over black rabbits, but recessive to agouti rabbits, such as the castor coloration.
Because the black otter doe is nearly an adult rabbit, she has her prime coat - thick, short and plush.
The next two shots are of young, very promising broken otter rex rabbits. The dark rabbits are broken black otters, and the lighter rabbits are broken blue otters. The difference is a recessive 'dilute' gene, that faded the black to a very pretty blue-gray, and the rich tan to a light fawn. The blue otter's eyes are also blue-gray, rather than brown.
Pictures of Rabbits Castor Rex
The first picture of castor rex rabbits shows some 10 week old young rabbits.
The second is one of my favorites. It shows the typical dense plush coat a rex rabbit should have, and the warmth of the rufus red under the black tipping.

Many thanks to our visitors for these kind remarks...
From Tammy in Texas: "This has been the most useful, friendly and informational website I have ever used. Thank you so very much. We found our pet rabbit Sunday night. People in the neighborhood where we found her say she was loose for about 2 weeks before she hopped up to me to be picked up. Your website helped us find out what kind of rabbit we found (Himalayan), what sex our rabbit is (female), how to house it, feed it and handle it (she was launching herself at us and smacking us with her front feet! - I am now the BIG BUNNY or a Hawk, whichever is needed!)."
From Shannon in Alabama: "I can't thank you enough for your super informative website! I'm a mother of 4 looking for a way to add to our preparedness. I feel so much more secure and positive about my choice to start raising rabbits in our backyard. Thank you...."
