A bit late, but that happens all the time if they get pee or fluids stuck to them when they are younger... their skin grows faster than the fur get itself clean so you see stripes of clean fur and dirty fur

Both those bucks in the most recent pictures are overposed. You can't tell their structure from those pictures. Of the original pictures, my favorite is the broken black doe. Broken blue doe is nice as well. I wouldn't worry about the dewlap. Brood does just get that with age. Definitely my...

Welcome. She's cute

Looks more like a broken sable chinchilla to me

Tort otter

Welcome! I am in southern arizona. Stillborn kits and peanuts are very common in holland lops.

Like, you want the narrower slots of the cage wire to be on the top. If you were looking at the floor wire from the top: You can see in this picture how the closer together wires with the 1/2" gaps is on the top where they intersect. This is better, as it more evenly distributes weight and can...

Charlies and False charlies look the same but False charlies are genetically broken (so they can throw selfs)

That just looks like a new zealand white with weak ear carriage to me.

Linebreeding shows up all the time on pedigrees; you'd have to keep both bucks and does back to make a full pedigree though; if you only use that buck it would still only be a 1/2 gen (if you count just having the names as a gen) pedigree because thats how far back it would be on the sire's...

He looks black tort to me.

Harlequins are always called by the black-base color, not the orange-base color. So cream harlequin or fawn harlequin isn't a thing. The pheomelanin/orange pigment can range from light cream to red, but they are the same genetically (aside from rufus modifiers) and have the same color name. The...
