How large will a Mini-rex rabbit grow?

How large will a Mini-rex rabbit grow?

And is the chinchila grey colour rare on them?
Answers:
The breed standard for a mini-rex is: show weight of only 4 1/2 pounds for does and 41/4 pounds for bucks. Its body is rather short and close coupled. The top body line rises gradually from the base of the ears to a high point over the center of the hips and then rounding downwards to the base of the tail. When viewed from the tail end, a Mini-Rex is approximately as wide as it is high. When viewed from above, the body tapers down slightly from the hips to the shoulders. The ears are rather short and thick and are carried erect. The fur is one of the most notable features of this breed. The guard hairs are the same length as the underfur giving an extremely plush, silky, feeling to it when stroked. The fur has a lustrous appearance and has a distinct springy feel when depressed. The fur type has earned the Mini-Rex the name "velveteen Rabbit."

ARBA standards recognizes many colors/varieties for the Mini Rex including: black, blue, castor, chinchilla, chocolate, himalayan, lynx, opal, red, seal, tortoise, white, lilac and broken pattern. including: black,blue,castor,chinchilla, chocolate, himalayan, lynx, opal, red, seal, tortoise, white, lilac and broken pattern. Breeders are continually trying to develop new colors.
I have one ,hes not very big maybe 3 pounds.I've had him 5 years and he was about 2 or so when i got him
My bunny is about a foot long and is pretty fat, but they arn't huge
I have never owned a Mini-Rex but all the MR's I've seen are very small
To answer your first question, a Mini Rex grows to a maximum of one and a half feet long and 10 inches tall. To answer your second question, Grey is not at all rare in a chinchilla, it is probably the most common
I bought a mini-rex and it grew to be a full sized rabbit.
depends on how you feed an so on mine is at 4 pounds good luck
