    How do I get this genetically?

    Does anyone know what I would have to breed to get coloration like this? This buck is New Zealand/Harlequin/? cross and I love his coat! If I could somehow get this consistently I would love to breed a line of rabbits from him. What do I breed to to get this though?

    Day 34-what to do?

    So it is day 34 and still no popples from either doe. Do I leave nestboxes in longer? How much longer? Or should I rebreed them both now and count this as a miss? I have never had a doe go any longer then day 32 so now I am just sort of staring at them a bit perplexed.
