She's 1.5 years. Could non extension cause the blue middle band? Could she be a chocolate with non extension? Other possibilities: Could the steel gene cause brown tips instead of gold/silver? ( thus allowing the middle band to be dilute without diluting the tan tip) The pattern of otters...

Red eyes. What confuses me is the banded color. If she's not agouti she shouldn't have bands, right? Also, it's brown tipped with a blue middle band, how does that even work? I thought the middle band could only be shades of red and yellow

The rings are only on the colored part of her-- she's a Himalayan, her belly is as white as everything but the points. Here's a better pic of the bands, I can only really show them on the ears because everywhere else th fur is too short and my finger covers up the shot

She doesn't have a pedigree, I can only find clues through her kits

From what I've heard, lops are multiple genes, so there's no genetics strategy to use like there is with color. Just straight up pick the best to breed with the best. I've brought in some lop angoras that I'm hoping will show up in future generations (because they're fiber bunnies so I don't...

I thought steel wasn't recessive; was the only domestic mutation that is semi-dominant over the wild coloring? It can hide in blacks, because it affects banded fur and blacks don't have bands, and it can be hard to spot with a double steel... correct me if I'm wrong

If you didn't use cinnamon in your spices when you flavored him, that was a missed opportunity!

Beanie has had 3 litters now, and I thought I could tell her color but on closer inspection I'm not sure. Her first litter was with an English spot, and was all En or otter coloring. Her second was with an otter son, and produced more otters, some Himalayan, some black self, and one brown...

Have you considered cooking the rolled oats, and then using the oatmeal to stick everything together?

Do let me know when you have kits, I'm looking at that fiber and I COVET IT!!!

Let us know what worked

Well, one of Beanie's grew in lilac fur and the other (likely)Himalayan kits died, so now I can tell by coloring. I don't have a tattoo pen but I might just get one soon Beanie is such a successful mom that I'll probably breed her when i have important litters on the way so I can put the...

My heart dropped when I read that post, i am so relieved it worked out for you. I've seen those symptoms a few times, it's always ended in death for mine... I wish I knew what it was and whether it is something that is environmental or hereditary.

This is a mother daughter pair that I got from kijiji. When we got them they were very codependent. We tried to separate them in a bigger cage with a partition (to hilarious results ) but eventually admitted defeat. The mother raised an entire litter with daughter in the cage, with no...

Trim any stuck on stuff, and then see if they like pool parties as much as poop parties. Don't "give them a bath" in the way pet owners will say kills them from heart attack, but give them a large area with maybe an inch of watery... my weirdo buns will eagerly go into that and it'll soak out...

Isn't it normal, in the Angoras that molt, to have a limited stretch of color? Are your previous angoras the kind that you trim?

Ok, so yesterday was Tassel's (pic 1) due date, and this morning we found not only tassel but also Beanie (pic 2) had kindled. Beanie is technically retired, but she got knocked up by an escapee buck. Tassel is a first time mom, produced 2 out of the box, and one was trampled before we...

Mine don't have dance parties atop their poop collections, but I totally understand! I have an angora that is personally offended every time I scoop her art project out of the cage

Another option, if it isn't ground down to the skin, is to cut off the clumps. if it's a rather large mass, a bit if a soak to make it bendable and just keep cutting a scissor tip at a time

With the next one I believe we were intending on extending the 2x4 fencing across the whole bottom (we had changed our mind on dimensions after we cut it) but still add the raised mesh inside the hide. It's hardware mesh instead of solid wood to allow poops to drop through, and it's raised...
