I've been playing with the idea of perhaps adding a few VL to the rabbitry, but I'm finding a lot of issues like this popping up. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, since the mini rex and EL themselves seem to be pretty hardy breeds with well established lines. I think I'll just stick with my EL and my meat mutts for now, since I'm feeling very circumspect about the vitality of the VL.
I don't know know for sure, but my velveteen doe also caries genes that cause very astrex-like curl in kits. I've never properly grown them out to see if they would have curl as adults(due to the lymph issue and other ailments), but, Mucks still has a few little curls herself.
:shrug:
I suspect there may have been Canadian plush lop added to her gene pool at some point.
There is a reason that curly coated rabbits are few and far between.
