Thank you. I should have specified but we brought her inside due to cold weather to have her kits. We put her in a box with her nesting box but she wanted to make a nest in the hay on the floor of the cardboard box instead. So the kits were in hay on the box floor but not under the fur she...

Ok. She actually had them a bit early. Her due date is in two days. Is that common? We took them from her for a few hours and now they’re back with her and she seems fine. I watched her have them outside of the nest she made. Then I waited to see if she would move them into it for about 10...

Please help! My lionhead doe just had five kits and has already eaten half of one’s ear and part of one’s leg. Should I shelf them or just leave them with her? We have never had this problem with any of our other litters. She isn’t really being careful with them. What should I do to save the kits?

Thank you for all your help! I’ll keep watching her fur to see if there are any changes after her molt. But I think you might be right. I looked at her again earlier and I’m not so sure she is shaded. Like you said the wool and varying lengths of fur makes her seem shaded. But she might not...

Hello! My black VM holland lop doe had her kits from that buck this morning and I saw at least 2 harlequins I guess that’s more proof that my buck is harlequin. Thanks!

This is very helpful!! Since I got into genetics I’ve been talking about rabbit colors almost nonstop!😆 That lilac sable does look like my doe. However my doe has no ruby cast in her eyes. She could be vc though and could that mess with the color? Or do not all lilac sables have ruby cast? I...

Thank you so much! So you think she is definitely lilac sable? I can still find no pictures of lilac sable and would love to compare. It looks like you have more experience with sables and if that’s what you say she is that’s what I’ll call her! 😄 I took me a long time to figure out the color...

Here is another picture of the sire

Thank you!! That would make sense if she was a lilac sable. I thought I saw shading once but then I wasn’t sure. I can’t find many pictures online to compare either. But you think she is definitely lilac base not blue? That’s very good to know that chocolate can hide for a long time looking back...

Thank you! I was just thinking it was quite unlikely as her dad’s (the black tort) parents were black mom and black tort dad. Her mom’s parents are broken sable point mom and BEW dad his mom was chocolate tort though so chocolate came from there but his dad was black. In my mind the chances of...

Hello! Everyone was really helpful the first time I posted! Now I have a question about my lionhead doe. I raised her from one of my own litters She is the daughter of a black tort buck and a broken Siamese sable doe. The only color I see is lilac! I am absolutely not an expert on that...

Thank you! I’m super new to genetics! Your information has been super helpful!I didn’t know that about the white ears!! I just assumed it was the vm! Here are more pictures of that young buck.

Thank you so much! I was so confused for a while then I finally thought lightly marked harlequin and that made the most sense! If I look closely I believe I can see faint stripes as well. I was hoping someone with a little more experience with genetics could confirm my idea! I have a litter...

Here is more pictures of the doe.

The first picture is the doe the others are the litter when they’re older and an individual picture of the chestnut/maybe steel. I did consider tort. If he was a tort though he would still have double ee on the E locus and in order to produce tort babies and the doe would be Ee on the E locus...

Hello! This is my first time posting! I have a question about my holland lop buck. When I first got him I thought he was orange however I bred him with a chestnut doe and she produced oranges and harlequins. How is that possible? I only recently started researching rabbit genetics. If he was...
