Mini Rex rabbits have the same dietary needs as all pet rabbits. The only special concern is, because they're small, they might need smaller portions!
Fresh alfalfa is sometimes offered to rabbits as a treat, but it shouldn't be a normal part of your rabbit's diet. Treats should be strictly limited: too much will lead to illness.
Alfalfa hay is recommended for pregnant and nursing rabbits, baby rabbits (under 7 months), and sometimes sick/underweight rabbits. Adult rabbits should not eat alfalfa hay, except maybe a small bit now and again as a treat, because it's too high in protein and calories. Healthy adult rabbits (including Mini Rexs) should eat grass hay instead (like timothy, orchard grass, meadow grass, brome, Bermuda).
