Rex rabbit fur has short, dense, even hair and is an important raw material for the fur garment industry.

Rex rabbit fur is the pelt made from rex rabbits after slaughter, skinning, and preliminary processing. It gets its name because the rex rabbit's coat resembles the valuable fur of the otter, and it is an important raw material in the fur processing industry. Its standout features are a dense, thick underwool with no protruding guard hair, an even and glossy fur surface, a soft and smooth feel, and a thin yet strong pelt.

In terms of use, rex rabbit fur is mainly used for fur garments, and can be processed into clothing, shawls, scarves, hats, gloves and other cold-weather items, as well as toys, cushions and various decorative objects. Rex rabbits come in many color types, and white, black, blue, coffee and other coat colors all have corresponding markets. The pelts can be used whole or processed as needed after shearing.

The quality of rex rabbit fur is clearly affected by the season in which the pelt is taken. Winter pelts have full hair and thick underwool and a firm pelt, making them the best quality; pelts taken during the spring and autumn molting periods often have an uneven fur surface and shed easily, and their commercial value drops noticeably. Commercial pelts are generally graded by pelt area, fur density and color, and degree of damage, and whether slaughtering, skinning and drying are done properly also directly affects the grade of the pelt.

For farmers, pelt quality directly determines farming income, and feeding nutrition and daily management levels are both reflected in fur quality. Therefore, scientifically balanced feed, timely slaughtering and pelt removal, and proper preservation and air-drying of fresh pelts are key steps for increasing the commercial value of rex rabbit fur.
