I feed pellets once a day, in the evening. That's what I've been feeding for thirteen years without issue.

It's not possible unless there is the steel gene involved. A steel rabbit that carries non-extension/orange can sometimes appear solid black, despite being agouti, which can lead to confusion. Steel is not particularly common netherland dwarfs, though - unless this rabbit had steel in its...

Looks good for fawn to me Mini rex usually have bright orange pigment in their coats, so she looks dilute. Dilute mini rex isn't a standardized color so it is known by a few names, usually fawn or cream

Mostly likely chestnuts (or if this is a rex furred breed, castor). You'll likely get some black otters as well, as the fawn carries self which is recessive to otter. All of them will carry non-extension and probably tan pattern as well, which is not a combination that people like to see in show...

I agree. Just a chinchilla.

Darker one looks like a sable point. The himalayans are 2 black and 1 blue; however with a sable point sibling I would not be surprised if they ended up being non-extension himalayans, but that would be very hard to tell at this age.

Getting too big too fast isn't usually a problem; especially in a litter of four. Only if it were a singleton would I worry. They look healthy to me.

"solids" are any rabbit that isn't broken. The term for a rabbit with one single color like black, blue, chocolate or lilac is "self" To get oranges or black you'd probably have to bring in different colors. Black is dominant to harlequin. For oranges you'd need to bring in some non extension...

Yeah, looks like an opal

I see three magpies and 1 broken magpie (it can't be charlie if one parent is a solid) Because that mother produced solids (magpies) she would actually be a broken magpie, not a charlie magpie. People sometimes call these rabbits that are genetically broken but appear charlie as "false charlies"

Rex already have the same body type as a New Zealand or Californian. Their body structure should be exactly the same. You can see it more in show quality rex where people have actually been breeding for body type, as opposed to meat/pet quality rex, where a lot of people breed for things like...

They're mixed breeds. They're definitely not mini rex, they have the wrong type. One rule of thumb when looking at pictures for rex fur type; rex usually have curly whiskers. Rex is a simple recessive gene; so having some Rex in the line won't make it slightly softer or anything. It's all or...

I use panacar (fenbendazole). Safe-guard is fenbendazole as well The dose is 20 mg/kg according to "Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents Clinical Medicine and Surgery" by Hillyer and Quesenberry. For regular deworming I usually use a lower dose but I can't remember what it is; I just wrote it down on...

It depends on where you are located, different colors have different names depending on location If you are in canada or US: 2 harlequins, one broken chocolate agouti, 2 broken chestnut, and the dark one is either a black, or, if it has a white belly with tan edging, a black otter. If it has no...

As far as I know they only exist in the US. Frankly, I wouldn't try starting from scratch from the US standard. I bred some when the breed was new, and it took so much to get them even where they are now and even now they're not as consistent enough to be an ARBA recognized breed. Breeding in...

The parents looks like a charlie magpie and a harlequin to me

Tricolors would be the most likely out of that mix

Can't be a californian or pointed white, as those colors always have red eyes. Looks to be either a chocolate frosty or a chocolate point marten.

Champagne D'argent are the ideal size for a meat breed. Rex are a commercial breed but are a bit on the small size for a meat rabbit. Neither of those are giant breeds.

you'd be better off making your own thread If you are breeding for show your options with harlequin are limited. Best would be a tricolor or a broken red.
