Thank you Sixguns! I think that helps, they do look similar to your blue(?) pearl. Did yours lighten up as they aged? I know pearls aren't supposed to be stark white, but they just seem so much darker up close. Could accidentally mixing with nonshaded have messed with it? Also is pearl just the...

Better pics in natural light of all three the bottom one's a lot more sepia than the other two, but they all have the grey points and some very dark colored grey / sepia guard hairs, which is what keeps me from going with saying they're pearls. (Granted, I still have not seen an actual pearl in...

I think googling colors is confusing me, oops. For some reason I thought pearls had to have an even lighter body / more color on the face.

Interesting. I'll definitely be back with more pictures as they age, there are three of this color. There are another two I'm thinking might be siamese sable now? It's so weird because sable anything wasn't what I expected from this litter. I didn't think chl could hide like that? EDIT: Here's...

That's good to hear! He's still hopping around on three legs, but he's gotten a lot faster about it, lol. I do worry he'll just... forget to use the foot even when it does heal, but I cant really do anything about that either. Otherwise seems happy and healthy.

I might just be feeling paranoid again, lol. They are eating pellets / oats and drinking from a water bottle as of two-ish days ago. Most are starting to plump up again, they were a little light for a couple days. The other litters I've had didn't even start weaning until 3 weeks, so I worried...

First litter in a while, something (besides the weird false pregnancy) had to go wrong. Uhg. It had to have happened in the last 3 hours, I was out there the kit was fine, came back and he's not using one of his hind legs. It seems like it's either the "ankle" or just a break further down the...

I'm having a little trouble identifying a few kits in my current litter. French angora. Momma is a tort (I believe blue), daddy is black. (maternal grandparents are blue and rew, paternal are rew and black) When they were very little I thought they were lilacs but the dark tails and muzzles...

A little heavier than normal, but maybe just 'been eating extra oats and BOSS because I thought she was pregnant' heavy, you know? I figured it would be a small litter, so her not being huge made sense. It's weird, her nipples definitely got bigger/rounder, but I don't think she was quite at...

I offered tums last night, she just dug them out of her dish. Dissolved a little in her water and she's been happy to drink that. Still no babies though :( She moved some hay around and I offered her some more, which she added to her nest. She wouldn't be keeping her nest up if she wasn't...

I got excited when I checked earlier this morning, she pulled some more fluff for the nest, but nope. Nothing. She is taking her sweet time. I don't necessarily mind the waiting, I'm just a worrier.

That is interesting. Her mom was very reliable about going to day 31, I think I just assumed she'd follow suit. This is the first homegrown doe I've bred, I'm sure I'm a little over eager =P

She was bred February 15th. I'm not the best at palpating but I was pretty confident I felt something 13 days later. Gave her a nest box almost a week ago and she went to town, hasn't made a mess of it since and was fidgeting with it a few days ago. But we're on day 33 now and nothing. I added...

Oh good someone asked! I was wondering if there was some sort of fee for just wandering around too. I know I'm not super active on here, but if something gets organized, I think I'd be interested! I don't have my plans pegged down for sure yet.

I did give up for a while. But Friday the 13th of all days I do think they all finally cooperated. I could only get the buck to cover each once before he seemed to worn out, but as far as I could tell it looked like everything was in the right place. I wish I knew what worked! But at least it...

I've only been doing this for a year now. We've had three litters between my two does. (French Angora) The first time, both does were table bred by someone with more experience than I. Second time was an oops, so who knows how they worked it out but she was bred! I'm trying now because its...

I figured they would clearly state who could and couldn't enter, now that I look back at it I think I got confused with information on registering rabbits at the show. Thank you both for your answers! :) Still not 100% sure what I'll be doing, but looking forward to the experience either way!

I feel like this might be a newbie question... but then again, thats what I am =P Do you have to be a member of ARBA to show at state conventions? Is it even worth it for a newbie to show at a state convention? I am going to the California state convention to pick up a rabbit, and began...
