Information about our Astrex Lops

The first Astrex bunny was discovered in 1931 in England, and research performed since then confirmed that it is caused by a recessive gene, hence they are very rare. To be considered an Astrex Lop, a dwarf lop bunny must have curly and wavy rex fur and whiskers. They are very rare because of the fact that the gene for the coat type is recessive, meaning that it is masked by genes for other coat types.

We are delighted to discover that the Astrex gene exists in the genetic pool of our breeding Dwarf Lop rabbits, and with a suitable breeding program we can have more of them. They have a beautiful temperament and make perfect pets like our velvet lop bunnies.
