So since I picked on the Rex people now let’s do lops. 😂

This is just for fun. Don’t go get your panties in a bunch over freaking rabbits.

There is no such thing as a mini holland lop. There are mini lops and there are holland lops. Crossing the two doesn’t make them a mini holland it makes them a mutt aka mixed breed. 

Contrary to the belief that mini would be smallest they are actually not the smallest, but holland lops are the smallest breed of lop. Hollands are the dwarf breed.

Sharing this chart below as an example.

“Eliza, I love your rabbits, what breed are they?”
“So glad you asked, I raise Rex, not mini!”

❌Standard Rex, nope sorry, Rex is the breed!

Established in 1919, originating in France Rex are the KING of RABBITS. It was first shown publicly at the Paris International Rabbit Show in 1924, where American rabbit breeders John C. Fehr and Alfred Zimmerman, discovered the breed and imported it to the United States. In 1988 The American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) recognized the Rex rabbit breed.

Somewhere along the lines, folks started adding “standard” to differentiate Rex from their pint size pals, the Mini Rex. Which is a completely different breed.
Also! “Standard Rex” are a recognized “upright breed” with the British Rabbit Council.
So you wouldn’t want them in your US Rex program at all.
Truly it’s just a breeder pet peeve and perhaps it doesn’t bother everyone. Just your little tidbit for the day.
🐰1 Rex, singular=Rex

Solar belongs on rooftops before fields.
The U.S. has billions of square feet of unused flat commercial roof space ready for panels right now.

• Uses already-built surfaces instead of fertile soil
• Protects farmland from permanent conversion and compaction
• Reduces urban heat while generating clean power where it’s used
• Keeps food-producing land in production
• Turns gray, sealed rooftops into working landscapes

We don’t need to choose between food and clean energy.
We simply need to use the space we already covered in concrete.
