Curly Rex Rabbits

Hello there all... Since the 1990's I have worked on saving the nearly extinct curl /wave gene in rabbits. We've had our website up and running for about 8 years. I begin researching the wave genes well 15 years ago. In the last 10 years I have made the terms / names Astrex Rabbits / Astrex / Curly Rabbits / Astrex Rabbits Curly Wavy Bunnies world known in the rabbit world and the world wide web in general. Before our published information and sites from 10 years ago until present, there WAS NO internet information on Curly Rabbits / Astrex / Astrex Rabbits.

In the last couple of years a few breeders out for a "quick money" has tried to take our information on our sites, to "sell" "astrex" rabbits, and ignoring our copyrights. Well, I guess they need to understand intellectual copyright laws?

On to brighter topics... Rainy our broken black curly wavy Astrex Rabbit doe has a litter of three eight day old kits and they are doing WONDERFUL...and she's being a fantastic mommie bunny !! We are very grateful for this new litter of curly bunny kits, and for Rainy !!

I also want to thank God for giving me this Vision to save the curl gene in rabbits so very many years ago...

At times it's been a "labor" of love, but I'm grateful !! Many times I"ve solely supported the Astrex Rabbits Creation and Development programs by myself through the years... meaning I've done what I had to conserve money. Sometimes this meant doing without for myself to buy cages, feed, hay, etc...whatever the bunnies needed. For years, I shopped at goodwill stores, and second hand stores for clothes, to save money for the bunnies.
I cleaned houses, worked as personal assistants, worked in convienence stores, whatever I had to do to earn money for the curly rabbits... I bought rabbit food instead of groceries a few times also through the years. I was/ am determined to see my God given Vision, through... to see my Dreams accomplished, in the form of Astrex Rabbits, Curly Rabbits Creation, Development Programs... and bunches of little curly bunnies !! There were many "lean" times... money wise... and sometimes we still have some.

I want a state of the art facility...for Astrex Rabbits, with a vet. Many of the indoor cages we have now, cost me $100 to $150 dollars each. Many of the outdoor cages were custom made.

Someone once said, "Ignorance is Bliss..." LOL over the years I think this to be truth many times. I never realized 15 years ago what it would take to achieve my dream / My Vision... God must have I'm sure... He musta looked down, and said "That girl is asking why can't there be curly rabbits... there are curly dogs, and curly cats.... I'll GIVE her the Vision... to achieve this...she'll do it!!" He was right... I'll do it. Cause it's a LOVE / a WANT to in side my soul to make sure Curly Rabbits survive and live and thrive even long after I'm in Heaven.
