I have never even heard of an Altex before, but I am pretty sure you are right.
I don't know what I'd do without this thread, I am new to rabbits.
If I end up breeding him to one of my NZW does down the line, do you think some of the Cali coloring he has would come through on some of the babies.
He's huge, but he's so sweet. He just loves to snuggle. Sits right on your lap, doesn't even try to hop away.

he could my old rabbits twin right their He died last yrs. he was 10 weighing in at 26 lbs. I have his kids and they are large like him and some has black ears and some with gray ears and markings, very friendly like he was. You got a nice rabbit keep him happy and he will do the same for you .

I'm with you on the not liking summer.  Our central air conditioning went out.  We are using portable evaporative coolers as a back up.  We are not used to the moisture.  Reminds me of the summers back east where everything stays damp from humidity.  UGH.  

If ac goes out here, it is considered life threatening, seriously. A walk to your car from your house, 10 feet, results in sweating. Humidity sucks, but it is good for your complexion, like a 4 month steam bath, and good for plants. Not good for chickens and rabbits

Only life threatening for those who are not acclimated to it.
When you live in the southern heat and humidity without a/c, you learn when and where it is wise to spend your time. I feed and water all livestock within an hour of the sun coming up. I work in the gardens all morning, but spend the afternoons inside with ceiling fans running.
The only time I work outside in the heat of the day is when I'm putting up hay.
The livestock all know where to go to get cool - the woods in the ridges or in the creek. The buns are in the shade with fans. The chickens know all the cool hidey holes. Even temps in the upper 90s have not affected them. My am Chin who had 8 kits when it was 94 four weeks ago didn't miss a beat - all 8 kits are growing like weeds. It is because that is what they are used to.
I firmly believe too many animals (and people) are pampered way too much, consequently they simply aren't as hardy.
We all seem to tolerate heat here just fine - i love summer. But winter? I spend my down time by the wood stove - when I'm not outside in my carhartts and warm boots. ;-)

I have 2 new zealand white does named cloud and ruby, a black and white dutch doe named jade, a black, blue, and white harlequin doe named marble, a NZW buck named sailor and a blue and white harlequin buck named bucky. I love rabbits!! Jade is currently bred to bucky and we will have some cute little babies in about a week!!!

I see you're from Tennessee. I was born and reared in southern Louisiana, Gulf Coast. I never could stand the heat and humidity. My daughter got married and moved to California so nothing was keeping me in Louisiana. I decided to move out of Louisiana. I could have gone just about anywhere but I chose Tennessee and never regretted it. I lived there for a decade until 2000. That was the best years of my life. The people, the landscape, the opportunities and I could go on and on, were the best imaginable. My daughter moved back to Louisiana in 2000 and so did I. I loved being with my daughter again, but to this day I miss Tennessee. I have taken both of my grand kids on separate extended vacations there showing them the beauty of that state. My family knows to always use reverent tones when they speak of Tennessee. All that said, the difference between the heat and humidity in Louisiana versus Tennessee cannot be compared. My girls have a totally shaded chicken yard in a "breezeway" area. There are fans there and soon I will have to pull out frozen bottles. They are given frozen watermelon and have cold water foot baths as well as areas to dig in the shade and lie on the cool earth and they still pant and if I'm not careful will heatstroke. JS

Yes, I've moved almost 30 times and have lived in almost every state in the eastern half of the country Acclimation is the same process everywhere... Just takes getting used to. I enjoyed the Louisiana humidity a LOT more than the Illinois snow. Lol

But TN is surely God's country and I hope to be here till the day I die.

Yeah, count yourself blessed. I have to say, I have never acclimated to Louisiana even though I lived here 50 out of 67 years here. I still, literally, throw up in the yard when I cut it bec of the heat July - September and I have a riding lawn mower. Lol
