  Hello! I am from North Carolina, USA. I have had three mini Rex before. I lost my last bun a year and half ago and am now ready to have one in the house again. I am researching for things that may have changed in rabbit care and planning to build a new cage. I’m taking my time to find the right bun for our home, but hope to welcome a fur baby home in the next month or two.
  
  The furry love of my life was Pumpkin, a red harlequin mini Rex. He had a sweet and playful disposition and was a bun who just seemed happy to be with his mamma. I will miss him always.

  Welcome! I also love mini rexes, since my first one (Spockie) was said to be one, though he was so big I think he was a full rex.
  
  Anyway, we have plenty of ideas for indoor habitats. I’d start by looking at the Habitats and Toys Forum for discussions on the topic. We don’t allow replies to older posts, say a month old or more, but they can be read for great ideas and pix going back years even.
  
  Also, check out the Photos and Videos section of the site. It shows habitats people have made that work very well. I personally changed from a large 2 level cage to an XPen with my second bunny Sammykins because she doesn’t like to jump. It is high enough to keep her in and she loves her “house”. You can find plans for condos, sources for cage purchases, and home made habitats in these sections.

  Thank you for the warm welcome! I am planning on a three story condo because I don’t have the floor space that I would like to have. I want something with high sides on the bottom level to catch loose food, hay, and poop. I just haven’t quite figured out the best way to do that. Maybe coroplast and then line the bottom with grass mats? Oh well, I have my eye on some babies but they won’t be old enough to meet for a few more weeks. I also have a relatively large cage that can be used while I build if necessary.
  
  RabbitPam, I’m pretty sure Pumpkin wasn’t mini either. I’ve also read the regulars are sweeter, so maybe that’s why I loved him so very much.

  Big Welcome to you!
  
  I can certainly relate with your love of Rex’s. In September I lost the love of my life, my first rabbit, Stormy, who was a Harlequin Mini Rex. I really miss having a Rex. He had the greatest personality. So full of love and adventure.

  Welcome! I love the look of Rexes, but I’ve never touched one before. I’d like to soon!

  Little Puffy Tail, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never stop missing my Pumpkin, but life goes on.
  
  Bunny girl, rubbing a Rex really and truly is a lot like rubbing the softest velvet you can imagine.

  Hi everyone! I am new! I just got my wonderful bun a few months ago. he is some kind of shorthair bunny, he is not a lop. I got him from people who bid on “a bun” but actually got six! they couldn’t keep all of them, so I got my Boo for only 15 dollars! (he was totally worth it). I live in Pennsylvania
