Crowing
Rex are certainly pretty, and their pelts can be used for extra income. Keep in mine, at 8-12 weeks, the typical processing age, the skin is thin and the pelt doesn't have much value. You will need to raise them longer in order to use the pelts, which makes for a slightly less tender carcass. At the same time, because so much energy goes into that beautiful fur, they don't grow as fast as some varieties. All in all, they make a decent way of raising meat and fur.Rex is the hope, or a medium sized mutt. Wouldn't mind a Californian. I'll let you know the exact dimensions of the cage when I get the parts in, I'm aiming for around 30 inches by 48 inches.
