    New colors for my elops

    A friend and I are working on a color project. I bred her chocolate buck to my blue doe (whose mother is a known chocolate carrier). The chocolate buck has a sibling who is either a smoked pearl or blue point (or some other shaded color). The buck's three generation pedigree is all blues...

    Chocolate Tort?

    With convention busy-ness, I had not looked closely at my new tort elop, but yesterday I looked again at this three week old, and I think it might be a chocolate tort. The nose and ear lacing are much lighter than on my prior torts. The sire, Charlie Bucket (named after characters in the...

    I can't believe this might work!

    I have an Elop who gave birth for the first time on the 12th. She didn't make a nest, pull fur, or clean them well and when I forced her to stay in the nest box to nurse, she urinated all over the five kits. Unfortunately, the other two experienced back up does refused to breed 30 days ago...

    Steel Gene

    I am buying a Gold Tipped Steel. His pedigree lists his sire as blue and his dam as broken orange. If I am understanding steel correctly, the dam could not be responsible for the steel as she is "ee" and steel requires one Es. So, I am thinking the blue is possible EsEs, producing a super...

    An interesting vet visit

    I have an awesome elop with great type and I really want to continue his lines in my crew. But after his first few shows, he started showing signs of matted paws so he stayed off the show table the rest of the spring. Although he had no sneezing and his nose remained dry, he still had these...

    Soft cecotropes

    I think I am having a feed issue. My elops, and Giant Chins have been on pen pals 16% for about three years now. Occasionally, one or two would cage floor would show signs of soft poo, but this would quickly resolve with a little more hay. For about a month now, half of my buns have been...

    Didn't think these kits would happen...

    One of my elops had a doa kit on day 34, so I bred her on day 35, and she bled some. Then on day 36 she had another doa. Amazingly she had 3 healthy kits yesterday! That's a pretty good for a doe that :rabbit-hop2: :rabbit-hop2: probably had one of her horns blocked at the time of...

    broken x broken

    I know "statistically" speaking if you breed broken to broken each kit has a 50% chance of broken, 25% chance of charlie markings, and 25% chance of solid. So I have 11 kits from a broken to broken breeding (with 2 solids), but all 9 brokens have full butterfly noses, and about 50% or more color...

    Finding chocolates

    I had this "happy accident" of a blue tort doe x black buck producing a lilac elop doe. One doe is not really helpful for test breeding for more chocolate carriers. :| I happen to have a lynx FA buck. Wouldn't he be useful for test breeding the self elops to determine who is carrying...

    I knew she looked big...

    But I did not expect her to have 12!!! This is my largest elop litter ever! Sweetie Pie had the smallest litter of two a few weeks ago, and now she had the largest. They are pretty evenly sized, too. Fortunately, I have another doe who gave birth to three live kits two days ago and they are...

    Sweetie Pie the She-Devil

    I have an Elop that eventually was named Sweetie Pie because she was, well, so sweet. She is due to deliver this week, so I made her a nice nest box filled with pine chips, a layer of straw and then a softer layer of hay. Sweetie Pie promptly jumped into the box and started flinging mouthfuls...

    tort vs dilute tort

    I bred a fawn buck to what I believed to be a blue tort, and according to my rabbit program, the known genetic codes are: buck A_B_C_ddee, and the doe would be aaB_C_ddee. So, in the new litter I have these lighter "blue torts", but I also have what appears to be a tort. Wouldn't I only have...

    Not loving the Woolies...

    This is going to be hard for some of you to believe, but I am not lovin' the woolies. :cry: I bought a starting trio this summer, and have had nothing but problems. First, the buck grew to 4 lbs, so he obviously is not carrying the dwarf gene. Then, one of the does turned into a buck, and...
