00:00 - So i show Mini Rex rabbits
00:03 - this one is a
00:05 - Ruby eyed white Mini Rex
00:07 - she is.
00:09 - A senior doe which means she's six months old or older.
00:14 - She.
00:17 - her name is Dolly.
00:20 - So
00:21 - what you look for in a Mini Rex rabbit is
00:24 - the fur quality which
00:26 - with the Mini Rex rabbit the fur kind of feels like velvet
00:30 - so.
00:31 - Like
00:32 - if you stroke back to front.
00:34 - It'll stay
00:36 - like
00:36 - it'll
00:37 - go back into position slowly but not like
00:40 - too slow
00:41 - and then
00:42 - like she.
00:43 - She's getting older so she's like weaker in
00:45 - the loin and the shoulders and stuff which
00:49 - that comes with age so they get
00:51 - when they get about two years old they normally
00:54 - don't get shown no more and we normally just
00:56 - use them for breeding
00:58 - and.
01:00 - Yeah.
01:02 - So
01:03 - then the.
01:05 - the mini rex senior doe
01:07 - rabbit
01:08 - should be.
01:10 - Three and a quarter pounds to four and a half pounds
01:14 - you don't want them over four and a half pounds because
01:16 - then they are disqualified for being overweight
01:19 - so four pounds is about the Max that i try to keep
01:23 - them
01:24 - Bucks which is the boys they would be about
01:28 - three
01:29 - to four and a quarter pounds
01:32 - and.
01:34 - She.
01:36 - So what you look for in
01:38 - whenever they're.
01:41 - Younger
01:42 - whenever they're junior so that's
01:44 - Younger than six months
01:46 - is you want to look for.
01:49 - Good about them so if you flip.
01:53 - If you flip the rabbit.
01:54 - You want to make
01:55 - see if the rabbits pinched are not so that would mean her like kipps would go outwards
02:01 - but you
02:02 - want them to be straight in line
02:04 - and when you pose her you want her to be
02:06 - like.
02:08 - Her front feet like right in line with her
02:10 - eyes and her back feet in line with her hips.
