Dooooo it!!! This world needs more angora addicts. ;) Personally, I love my English, but yes, all the extra handling they get makes most angoras very friendly. And hey, if you do decide to take up handspinning, knitting, etc, you would already have your hands full of fiber. :) - TBF

Hey Wheels, I'm also working on starting a new club, though you seem to be much farther ahead than I am! We're still in the "research and development" stage of things, lol. I currently help run our local farmers' market, which has the same basic idea (non-profit, board members, etc.). Let me...

I wouldn't keep feeding her tums. They're not designed for rabbits. If she's eating her pellets and hay and drinking water I wouldn't worry about her. She's probably not bred. Although if you bred her again you may be looking at kits in another month or so. Lots of female rabbits get...

I don't have enough experience with this color to be able to tell what it is when paired with so much white. I'm not sure why the 2nd picture is upside down... Thanks All, - TBF

Right, if we can see their eyes and ears we would be able to tell agouti vs steel. Keep us posted! :) - TBF

:D It's funny, my wife really doesn't want anything to do with the buns, unless they're between 2 and 8 weeks old and snuggly (or she can feed them treats). Then she turns into the rabbitry paparazzi! Which is awesome for my records and for sharing with all y'all! I'll let her know you guys...

Do you have any better pics of the kit? Is it possible that it's just agouti and the ticking is slowly coming in? - TBF

:D Thanks! I'm just relieved both litters are healthy! And now they're squishable. :D - TBF

I can't believe how the color is changing on these kits. Check it out! :D - TBF <br /><br /> __________ Tue Sep 30, 2014 9:30 am __________ <br /><br /> And this one is trying to convince me it's an REW (genetically impossible) but it's starting to show some shading on the tips of its...

Me too! :D - TBF -- Tue Sep 23, 2014 5:42 pm -- Hey All, The kits turned one week old yesterday! Both litters are doing well. I'm still having to flip Delilah twice a day to feed her litter, but it's going well. The two litters are no more than 12 hrs apart in age, but you can see...

Oh cute!!! Angora kits look just like that at that age, before all the fluff comes in. :) Nice job you guys! I didn't even notice the eye rings on that kit! I had what I thought was a lilac tort boy in Daphne's June litter, but maybe he's a lynx too? He has the light eye rings, lilac nose...

Yes, I forgot to put that in my post this morning (not enough coffee!). I think what I'm dealing with here is the cchl gene, in both does, which is making things interesting. Oh, and sable is the same as pearl for "angora people". :roll: :lol:

Mornin Dood! 1 out of 21?!?! That's crazy! And yes, Daphne is definitely a fawn (which is the black based version of cream, at least according to us angora people =P). Which is agouti with non-extension, and her belly is very light, but not white. The more I look at Delilah the more I think...

Thanks for the input Dood! So Yeti is definitely an REW. His eyes are red (though you can't see them in this pic, lol). Here's Daphne: And here's Delilah: And here's the blue pearl baby from Daphne's June litter, Yak: Here's what I'm guessing: Delilah's "white" babies now look like...

Ok, so with our newest litters a couple of questions/confusions have come to me. I have an English Angora REW buck, a fawn doe, and a lilac tort doe. The does are sisters. I have bred both does to the buck twice. The fawn doe produced broken black, lilac tort, blue, and blue pearl in the...
