Question
Hi Dave,

I have a black dwarf rex male and I keep him inside as a house rabbit. I would like to know how to look after rex`s coats. Is there any special care needed? Also have you experienced any helth problems that are common for this breed?

Thank you

Silvia

Answer
hi silvia all you need to do is comb and brush his coat about 3 times a week.the biggest problem with black rex is that they can get sore hocks from walking on a hard surface mine are in cages and i put 1" of sawdust in each cage to protect the feet,
