Me too. But since I am second guessing myself, I wanted others to take a look as well. Thank you.

A shaded agouti, or Shagouti is a term used to describe a rabbit who is agouti patterned with cchl coloring. I have one with the steel gene and one without. Both also have the silvering gene from a silverfox. When I bred my shaded sts to a rew, I got kits that looked like regular chinchillas...

The two smaller rabbits are fosters from another test breeding. Keep in mind these are test breedings to uncover the hidden genes in my shaded agouti and his brother who a shaded sts. The two smaller rabbits that look like siamese sables are from a test breed between my shagouti and a rew...

I hope this helps everyone who needs it. I have a rabbit who is an Shaded STS out of a Silver Fox crossed with and American Chinchilla. So I have been working on figuring out these gene combos for a while. In my searching I found very helpful information from a video on you tube called Advanced...

Sorry to hear that.

The cc genes are on the color locus, while the vv genes are on the vienna locus. Sine cc combination is domiminant to aĺl other alleles, the rabbit who gets two copies of cc will be a REW regardless of the other locus groups. If you bred a BEW to REW, and got any REWs, then the BEW is...

She is definately a pointed white.

Cutie patootie!

I included pics with and without flash. Someone said that I easily could tell a dense from a dilute by the eye color. She has deep dark brown eyes, and her non-dilute kits all have the same deep dark brown eyes. Her dilute kits all have slate gray eyes. I also thought she was a dilute for a...

So you listed cal? Is that Californian? Californians are pointed, and that is where your rabbit is getting the shaded look. Breed him to a REW and see what is in that color allele. Genetically speaking, the sable and himi gemes can have partial dominance over the color allele. You are seeing...

I agree it is very challenging. The lighting always plays tricks on me, but it is still fun and exciting to see the changes. I am hoping to get some help from my husband getting better pics of fur shots on the parents, but it has to happen on his next day off. I am super curious where the...

Thank you. I am still learning here. I have not gotten any chocolate based colors as far as I can tell. So far every litter from him has been black based, some dense, some dilute, but no browns so far. Same with my chin doe, no signs of brown so far. In fact her litters to Sil and his brother...

More pics of the two test litters. The pic with spotted kits is from my AM Chin and a REW I believe is a Florida White. I was rold he is a New Zealand White, but he it too small and fits the ARBA phenotype for a FW. The litter with all the dilutes is from Sil and a REW. The REW was said to be...

Thank you. I agree with everything you are saying. I would never sell, or even give away a hard to handle rabbit. Any rabbit from me will not act like that. If they were not from my herd, I would take them in, and rehabilitate them. If I cannot rehabilitate it, then it goes to freezer camp...

I used an oat mush to bind them. I also did a recipe with grated carrots. I dehydrate them at 170° F until they are completely dry.

Thank you for all of your insight. This conversation is too fun. I am falling all over myself to finally be able to testt breed these beautiful rabbits. My husband and I got them for manure production 2 years ago from a lady who claimed they were Silver foxes. In my ignorance I had no clue...

I agree he has to have the cchdcchl, and my suspicions are now confirmed. I am so excited to see the kits change. It helps to see them at birth, and as they grow. Thank you for all of your insight. I am now working on understanding how the extension alleles work with that pesky steel gene. I...

I know my rabbits are mutts, but I still find it fun to see if I can determine what will pop up in my litters. I am having fun learning how to identify genotypes based on phenotypes. Please forgive my ignorance for terminology when I say agouti, I think maybe I mean chinchilla, because all of...

Update: Using the oat mash method, made these. I am calling them BOBs. Bunny Oat Buscuits. They are made from oat mash, pellet dust, hay confetti, black oil sunflower seeds and willow branches. It is about 1/3 of a cup of worth of rabbit food in one biscuit. Most of less pickier rabbits...

Test bred my favorite buck to a REW. My buck was said to be a Silver Fox crossed with an American Chinchilla. The doe was said to be purebred New Zealand REW. In breeding my buck to my American Chinchilla doe, I see a monotone nest. No whites, all have been either regular chin, light chin...
