  Hey guys, sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question but I couldn’t find another topic area for it.
  
  I currently have a New Zealand little bun boy and I want to get another rabbit to keep him company. I really LOVE the look of Otter Rexes and was looking to either adopt or buy one but google is giving me nothing. Does anyone know where I could find an Otter Rex either through rescue or breeders? I’m in South Carolina but I’m fine with traveling across a few state borders to get a new bun. And does anyone know if a New Zealand and Rex do well together? They seem to be roughly the same size (even though my bun was the runt so he’s a bit tiny for a NZ) but I’m not sure how well they’d interact socially with each other.
  
  Thanks guys!

  When looking at shelters/rescues, I would just search for rex bunnies. Workers often don’t know enough about colors and patterns to label them properly. I’ve also noticed that shelters/rescues, if their specialty isn’t rabbits, they tend to label lots of bunnies as “rex”. But a rex bunny will have the short, plush rex fur and curly whiskers.
  
  As for whether or not a rex and a NZ would get along… that will depends on their individual personalities.

    Thank you for the information. Another question though, is a male-male pair better or a male-female pair? I’m not sure which I should be looking for.

  In my opinion, either is equally viable. It’s more about personality that the sex of the bunnies. My boys absolutely adored each other. Plenty of people have male-male and male-female pairs. I think female-female are harder since girls tend to want to defend their territory more. Still possible though.
