They are lovely :love:

I'd suggest that you use deep hay all over their hutch rather than just newspaper as Rexes need additional 'cushioning' for their hocks :)

agree with this. I used to use thick hay all over the floor of my rexes' hutch (one who has sore hocks), but I now use vetbed. Very good to keep clean, and also putting hay in litter trays only makes it easier to litter train rabbits.

Also, what is their run on? Concrete or grass? Clean grass is better for rexes than concrete, but if you only have concrete, then you can again use thick hay over the floor of the run, or foam matting.

Preventing sore hocks is the best thing to do for rexes, as when sore hocks occurs, there's no going back. Its a chronic condition that can bother them for the whole of their lives.
