I bought a pair of what were advertised on craigslist as Standard rex to add to our personal meat heard. They were 12 weeks when I got them and I thought they were rather on the small side but the guy said Rexes tend to grow out slower than other breeds.
Well It has been almost 2 months since I bought them, and they haven't grown much at all. They are aren't even half the size of our other Senior Rex does. Actually, they are even a lot smaller than our 10 week old butcher babies.
I'm guessing they are minis. I haven't ever had Standard Rex grow up. The only ones I have had were grown when I got them. So I had no way of knowing if he was right about them just growing out at a slower rate.
I am going to try to weigh them this afternoon to see where they are at. How much should a 5 month old Standard Rex weigh?
