That litter was completely smashed by mom, so I cannot compare... the other purplish bum from the first litter this mom had grew out to have grey tips, but a white undercoat at 11 weeks. I mention this because her newest litter had 2 kits that appeared to have very light purple spots on the...

Yes. Same doe that is the broken I assumed was a full himi but you pointed out her white feet. OK, I think what I misunderstood is that this doe would be considered a broken himi. I thought it was either or. I thought himi acted like REW and covered all coloring, not partial. When you had...

Last month I had a litter of 6 to my charlie(whom I thought was Hemi but with white feet) and A chinchilla coloring buck. That litter had a solid agouti, a good broken and 4 seemingly REW. I admit that I have very little understanding of the hierarchy of different gene dominance pairings.

Here is his Sire when he was little and again as an adult. He had a large yellow band when he was younger but as he grew he lost the yellow in his banding and the orange triangle at the nape of his neck. All four of her feet are indeed white. He does not have white feet. I haven't had...

This is great. The worry with poison is our dog will seemingly eat anything she can fit in her mouth. I'll check to see if baking soda will harm her.

This! I have a Himi doe that I bred to my chin agouti. The litter that just died was 4 solid white, 1 broken, 1 black otter(which I assume would have grown up agouti and not solid based on prior experience breeding this buck.) This means that she carries Enen under her himi, and the agouti buck...

Haha your quote of my post made me realize autocorrect on my phone made it say pungent. 🤣 Glad my biology isn't totally failing me from college years ago. I have pages upon pages of notes per locus based on these threads currently. I need to sort them so I don't lose the order of information...

This post is either one about steels or wideband modifiers. Here are 5 kits from the same litter. They have definitely grown into their coloring, as I believe @Alaska Satin mentioned Agouti rabbits tend to do. They are currently 11 weeks, but a good set for the banding conversation. This time I...

So helpful. This entire post is very informative.

So even with the orange triangle, all my kits were born black, so they would all be considered chestnut agouti. Oh, or steel when I get to that bit based on if they have banding or just tipping, correct? I sae your example of this optical illusion on the other thread. It was a great...

Does it not work where two Dd could also produce a dilute dd? This may alter what I thought I understood about basic genetics if rabbits don't follow a regular pungent square genetic pattern. I admit I'm still having trouble with the steel genes, so I'm shelfing that mentally until I get a grip...

I didn't realize the en was a separate locus, not the same as E. Thank you for clarifying the dominance in that though. I believe currently all 3 of my broken rabbits would be considered less speckled than most, one of my smashed kits from earlier this week was the most colored broken we've had...

This is beautiful. I wonder what would happen here Currently, our vets won't even allow owners back with animals because the fear of covid is back in force around here. I haven't tried any assisted living areas. We have visited older church members at home with bunnies while the weather was...

Yes, 9 in one cage, and 6 in the neighboring cage. They have been neighbors for 4 months, and both kindled together last time with no issues, so I don't believe it was doe rivalry or anything related to being next door. Neither has stomped an entire litter before. I have had one other doe stomp...

I hadn't thought about mice, as they werent a problem when it was very cold a couple months ago and we had litters in boxes. I will have to check. I do know there is ample food on the ground below them because I have a wasteful doe currently, and my recently moved hay stock would be easily...
