About the Rex Rabbit from Wikipedia
The Standard Rex is a variety of rabbit especially known for it's extremely soft fur. A medium size rabbit, also a commercial, they can be between 7–10.5 pounds (3.2–4.8 kg). It is prized for its fur and meat production. These are prolific rabbits having large litters with odd numbers of kits, often numbering between 6-10. They are known as good mothers and are used as foster mothers for other rabbit breeds. These rabbits have beautiful fur that is comparable in texture to very expensive sheared & plucked furs of larger animals, but they require no alterations to their fur beyond tanning. As rabbit is one of the healthiest USDA meats, the tanned fur offers a valuable & functional commodity for the home hobbyist or commercial breeder. Rex fur is a recessive genetic mutation that results in shortened guard hairs, the length of the down coat, which stick out from the body creating a plush velvet coat. The resulting coat is short and very dense, and is what would be called undercoat on a normal furred rabbit. They are full of personality and can make lovely pets. This breed is also referred to as a "Velveteen" rabbit.
