Animals that eat only plants are herbivores. In a food chain, they are called the âprimary consumersâ. This is because they are the first animals that eat the plants. Energy stored in the plant moves into the herbivore when it eats the plant. This energy is then used by that herbivore.
Here are ten popular pet bunny breeds. 1. Mini Rex â Rabbit breeders created the Mini Rex through mixing the Netherland Dwarf with the Standard Rex. They are intelligent, energetic and naturally curious and cuddly. 2. Thrianta â Still a comparatively new breed, Thrianta (pronounced tree-an-ta) are attention lovers.
No wonder the Mini Rex has such a huge following! There were over 2,500 Mini Rex entered in the 2011 ARBA convention, more than any other breed. Rex is a distinctive rabbit fur type caused by a recessive gene. The first Rex rabbits appeared in France around 1920, and the breed was soon spread around the world. The ARBA adopted a standard for the 9-pound Rex (sometimes called the Standard Rex) in 1929. But of course, it didnât take long for people to want to put that beautiful coat on a smaller bunny.
