"Magma", our beloved Astrex doe!

MamaSheepdog · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 10:25 pm

I thought it was time to share some more pics of my curly girl! I have another black doe with a "ripply-butt" named Lava, so I thought I'd continue the theme, and named her Magma!

Here is a pic of her as a scrawny little kit:

I think she is posing for you. Is this my best side or this. How about when I turn my head just so.
Too pretty.

You may be able to "grow your own"...Astrex is a mutation of the Rex fur gene...just watch for curly babies!

Yup, mine were a surprise- they popped up after I became totally besotted by Duman's bunnies. According to DumansArk, some of them go completely bald at two weeks!

I have a hunch that the Astrex also have really curly whiskers... like this:

Here is a kit with more "normal" whiskers. They have a bit of curl to them, but not as much as the last pic:

Done, Sistah! Couldn't they fly in an under-the-seat carrier? Surely that can't cost all that much extra...
