So I had seen here that a chinchilla rabbit wont turn grey unless it also is Agouti. Does that also apply to REW? or is that totally.
From whay Ive read here I think REW rabbits can be agouti or not, and just want to confirm
This is the general design ive been housing my daughters rabbit in outdoors. We use a water bottle in the summer and a heated water bowl in the winter.
In the fall we stuff the nest box full of straw and the rabbit essentially burrows into it. Which seems to be the best way to keep them warm...
So I joined the forum and asked a few color questions about the 6 kits I had. When she had those I had the pair together still and thought I would get a warning of her building a nest. I checked in the morning and want to a baseball tournament. My son messaged and asked if I saw the new baby...
So the kits are now about 25 days old and the eye colors are a lot more distinct.
We have 3 black kits with light grey-blue eyes, and one with a darker brown eye
That is more slivering than what I thought was possible. I would already be able to tell if they were chinchilla right? They can’t still turn that grey
I'm curious what people think of the buck I have that I've called black but he seems to have silvering and the now 4 black kits.
The kits are looking mostly black but also seem to have some silvering. Two are REW.
Also curious what exactly will be different with the eyes if one of the black...
So my kits are now 12 days old and I definitely have four blacks and two REW. Still waiting to see if there is any eye difference to see if one of the blacks is a self chin. Dad has some silvering but I think he got it once he was older
dad, mom, dads parents, and the kits
I'm still confused how somethings like American Chinchilla are described as a breed when they are just a color and fur trait. So are " breed" standards just that, color and fur traits of the standard and not a true breed of rabbit?
Well that is absolutely not what Ive read. I read REW and albinism are one in the same, and they are popular because they have been used to bring out the less dominate features like chinchilla and himalayan, without needing two of them.
I've learned that the chinchilla is the more dominant form of albinoism. My buck is a solid and black, and I believe a self.
She is an agouti chinchilla.
So I was a little surprised to see 4 solid black kits, and 2 what I think are going to be REW's. My daughter had brought the buck in from...
I've had a rabbit for most of my life.
The last one here was my daughters and shes now at college. My mom showed up with a chinchilla to add to my 8 year old bucks cage.
And sure enough 30 days later and i have 6 more rabbits.
Started reading to predict the colors and wow was I in for a...
