I wouldn't recommend getting one from a pet store, mostly because you wouldn't know about hereditary problems it might have. I like to get my rabbits from either a county or state fair because those are bred to be the best they can be.

∙ 12y agoThe Mini Rex breed was actually created in the United States. They were derived from Standard Rex rabbits that were imported into the United States from France in 1924. In 1974, a Dwarf Rex was bred with a small Standard Rex, which was the start of this breed. Their velvet-like fur was caused by a mutation seen in wild rabbits in France in the late 19th century. The Mini Rex was first recognized as a breed by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in 1988.
