Standard Rex rabbits can get up to 10 1/2 pounds, while Mini Rex Rabbits are generally 3 to 4 1/2 pounds.
Standard Rex rabbits are usually around 10 pounds fully grown and have ears that stick straight up (instead of down). You can't really tell a Rex by their fur pattern, since there are 16 different varieties. The confirming characteristic, however, is their unique, dense, plush, velvet-like fur that is only found in Standard Rex and Mini Rex rabbits.
Rex rabbits have the same lifespan as other pet rabbits: they live on average 8 to 10 years, but they can live up to 12, 13, even 14 years old. A Rex rabbit can live 4-11 years. But 4 is a very short life for a pet rabbit, including a Rex! That's like a human dying at age 30.
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.
Mini Rex rabbits, like all pet rabbits, bathe themselves by licking their fur. If your rabbit is dirty and needs a bath, something is wrong! See the related question below for more details (it applies to all pet rabbits, including Mini Rex rabbits).

Rex rabbits (and Mini Rex rabbits) should be mature before breeding. About six months is a good age to breed rex rabbits. Be sure you take the female to the buck's cage, not the buck to the doe's cage. You will get the desired result a lot faster and more accurately.
