    Cinnamon rabbit?

    Genetically Tortoise (the color that cinnamons are) has the self gene while Reds don't. Red new zealands have a lighter belly and lack the dark shading. Pure new zealand reds should have reddish bellies and pretty high rufus but reds/oranges in other breeds or poor quality ones can have white...

    Cinnamon rabbit?

    Cinnamons have a gray belly. A lot of rabbits can come in that color pattern though (called tortoise). Color-wise, its only one gene away from New Zealand's red. Unless you bought her as a cinnamon it is highly unlikely she is one; Cinnamons are a rare breed.

    Color identification

    The first two look like broken sable points (one just looks a lot darker than the rest - they vary a lot in color. I don't see chocolate). The solid looks like a Siamese Sable

    Color identification?

    I don't see blue. Just looks like a broken magpie to me.

    White ear gene?

    It's a gene that was recently imported into the US - similar to broken where one copy causes the classic 'white ear' markings and two copies causes a mostly white rabbit with a few spots (personally i call it extreme white ear).

    Plush Lops?

    Frankly, if you were interested in a rex-furred lop breed you'd be 100% better off with velveteen lops, in my opinion I've yet to meet or hear about a reputable plush lop breeder - all the ones I've seen just breed them to sell as overpriced pets, without much standard or consistency.

    How Do I Import Rabbits?

    It's not possible to transport rabbit sperm. It degrades very quickly, so you can't store it. Transporting live animals is really the only way to go about it, which does get expensive and difficult.

    Tips for First Time Breeder?

    Honestly, the smaller rabbits tend to be harder to breed. Both netherland dwarfs and holland lops tend to have small litters, difficult births and more genetic issues (especially Peanuts) vs other breeds. A medium sized rabbit, like a havana or mini lop, would be easier to breed for your first...

    Identifying peanuts

    Mini lops in the UK do have the dwarf gene None of those look like peanuts to me, though. Peanuts usually have a larger, rounder top to their skull and very tiny, pointed ears that are set further back than usual.

    What Breed Is My Rabbit?

    The color is called "opal" but as for breed, she's a mixed breed.

    Black tort vs Tortoise?

    They're the same color. Could be the breeder changed their record-keeping program between the two, or just wrote something down as short hand. The full correct name for the pattern is Black Tortoise.

    What age to breed a standard rex buck?

    Best to wait until a buck reaches his senior weight before you start breeding him

    Making my own Rabbit Harness/Leash

    Look up styles for H harnesses for rabbits. They are the most widely used harness and the only one accepted by the American Hopping Club. Very often one of the biggest issues is fitting. I see far too many loose harnesses than tight ones. Slipping legs through the harness is a real problem with...

    Mini Satins

    There are some lines of whites (and chinchillas) that live up to the name of "mini satan". The other colors seem to be relatively okay.

    color of bunny

    The top one is Blue Harlequin, and the bottom one is Opal. Watch out with the opal for some faint harlequin markings as it ages (darker brinding or stripes on the belly especially), that would make it a Harlequinized Opal which means it carries the harlequin gene (which is possible given that it...

    Genetics mystery? Or am I missing something?

    It's possible the vienna sable point could be a vienna sallander instead (cchd instead of cchl) and the kits are self chinchilla (which look black)

    Possible color outcomes

    It is possible to get tricolor from that cross. You do have to be careful though - since they carry tort it's possible some of them might be torted tricolor (tricolor but with tort shading on the ears and face) which is not showable. Harlequin (and maybe torted harlequin) is another possibility...
