Hooray - the lovely Smurf has a new home 
- and what a super home it look too .
Hi Donna, it was my piccies of Smurf on the RR website - I am so happy that he has found the forever home he deserves. I have to confess that it was also me who named him cause he reminded me of a wee Smurf.
It looks like he has really landed on his paws - it brings tears to my eyes to see how loved he is now
His coat is very soft isn't it - bet you all love stroking him.
Please keep us all posted of how you are getting on. if you need any advice etc then just ask we are always happy to help.
On behalf of Smurf himself - thanks for his new home. :thumb:

Hi all!
Hi everyone! I have just posted a message in "my" section on the Introductions part of the Forum. Sorry - I'm not sure how these things work so don't know if I have to put a reply on each "thread" or would I just be repeating myself unnecessarily?? Would one reply be read by everyone I'm "talking" to??
The wee poseur in the photo is my 9 year old niece, Lynette. Yes, she is proud as punch!
Pam - I love his name! I think it's a fab idea to take photos and post them on here.
Can you tell me, does Smurf need any special grooming? Lynda mentioned something in an e-mail about Rex rabbits having different needs - what would those needs be??
Bye for now

I wouldnt say rexes need any special grooming,a rubber brush is quite good when having a moult (which) mine are at the moment
But they do have differnt needs to other bunnies for one rexes dont have the guard hairs which other bunnies do (which makes the rex coat) so they do feel the cold more than other buns,also because they dont have the guard hairs they are prone to sore hocks they need to be beded on a thick layer of bedding i use vet bed for mine,the other thing with rexes is there nails grow really quick so keep your eye on those
Heres some pics of my rex bunnies

smuf is a stunner i breed and show mini rex and would say u would need to keep an eye on his feet as they only have a thin layer of fur on the feet and will wear away quicky if kept on hard suraces. Mine find it hard to cope in the summer as having such dence coats and cope easy in cold weather, last year i have a litter born on the coldest night of the year and mom didnt pull much fur out and survived fine. as for grooming i wet my hads slightly with water and which hazel and rub my hands backwards moving up towards head, they will need brushing around back end tummy and chest mainly but dont really need much grooming

Hiya! Thank you so much for the advice. I smiled at the bit about the claws growing quickly as Smurf's were really long when we got him! The vet clipped them while he was in for his jag. I'll buy clippers now so we can keep on top of them.
I'll keep a close eye on his hocks and feet. We'll have to rethink the bottom of his run though as it's concrete slabs. Any ideas on what we'd be better using, bearing in mind the run isn't covered?? (Mind you, we could always cover the top of the run with his tarpaulin if the weather is "dodgy").
Awwww, "Bluebunny" your rabbits are gorgeous and "Rexy Bexy" mini rex bunnies sound really cute!!
Thanks again

u could perhaps cover the bottom of the pen with lots of straw so its softer my mine some time go on the patio pens but that is about once a week as we have others on the grass. oh forgot to mencion about claws the also seem sharper than other breeds too
here is a few pic of some mini rex so u get the idea but there i lots of pics of my bunnies on my website

Hi there!
Hi Becky! Awwwwww - your bunnies are gorgeous. Have had a look at your website too - excellent! The babies are sooooo cute.
Trying to figure out the best roof design for Smurf's outside run then we can just pile hay onto the ground for him. (We have two horses so there's an abundance of the stuff).
I checked his back feet tonight and it looks like there may have been sores in the past as there are a couple of hard, dry patches.
Hi Tree - I'm glad you like Smurf.
Whenever I go out to see him he runs over to have his nose stroked - what a sweetie!
Bye for now
