Hi, Im familliar with genetics, but I never had this color before and I did not expect it as there is no recessive c-gene in neither side of the parents that I'm aware of. Mom is a chocolate lutino aabbC_DDEE. Dad is a chocolate tort aabbC_Ddee. They have a litter of 5 chocolates, with 1 that...

I have 2 new litters that are a couple days old. One is a experienced doe. She has 6 kits, 1 DOA and 2 peanuts, so 3 remaining now. And a first timer who had 3 healthy and 1 peanut. She has not nursed yet. Yesterday morning I expected them to be fed but they werent so I put them on my lap and...

I just had my 4th litter from a Lilac (aabbCddEe) doe and a Lutino chestnut buck (AaBbCDdE_). The chestnut carries self, chocolate, dilute, but I wasnt sure what he carried on the E locus. I first assumed tort but now in the 4th litter I have 2 visible harlequins. One peanut who died and this...

My doe had a litter of 1 survivor on the 29th and I fostered it to another litter, so I would like to rebreed her now that she should be very receptive, but she refuses the male. I tried her yesterday and today but she frantically grunts at the buck and almost attacks him and doesnt let him...

I bred a blue rex doe with a red eyed white buck and got 3 kits that i am not sure about. They are either 2 normal blues and the lighter color being self blue chin or smoke pearl.. or the darker ones are self blue chin and the lighter kit is smoke pearl or... i dont know anymore. :x Some...

From 4 bucks, i am left with 2 who look very similar. I actually already had made up my mind to go with buck #1. But they look very similar and i want to make sure i pick the right one, so i need some opinions and critique's. They are out of a chocolate vm and lutino black. Please tell me which...

I'm very confused and worried about this breeding.. I guess i made a mistake introducing a vienna marked into my lutino line but i thought as long as i cull the kits with the vienna markings and keep the solid ones, i would be fine and be able to get rid of the gene. There are 5 kits born with...

Hello A breeder friend of my has a bign barn full of rabbits and recently she imported an amount of rabbits from Germany. Within a few weeks a few rabbits started sneezing and snottering. A few days later she had 6 sick rabbits and moved them to her parents barn. She was told to cull the...

I have waited 2 weeks my virgin doe to be ready, checking her vent every other day. She was pale pink until the day before yesterday she turned red, she has been red for 2 days and today she is purple. Frustratingly, both bucks weren't doing their job so she isn't bred yet. Today she is purple...

A reputable ND breeder offered me a young chocolate doe that i plan to outcross with my lutino's. Since most lutino's are related and some inbred, there is no choice than to outcross with netherland dwarfs. And we figured it would be a better idea to breed the lutino under ND standards and get...

Hi, I haven't been active her in a while so i thought i'd stop by and catch up. ;) Before going on 3 weeks holiday to Turkey, i was overloaded with unwanted rabbits and i was confused what to do with them. Nobody wanted to buy anything since it was the holiday season, and the amount of pet...

Me and a friend did a breeding with my buck and her doe. The orange satin buck is mine, the opal VC doe is hers. We have only 1 live kit left to continue our breeding programme. But we are stumbled on his color.. it's not chestnut what we were expecting. Someone suggested chestnut wideband.. or...

I'm raising a litter of 3 in my room. They are fed twice a day when i hold the mother above them so they can all out on her. They are now 24 days old and should slowly start nibbling on pellets.. but they are not very interested and just ignore it, even when they're hungry and it's about...

My harlequin satin doe kindled this morning. She had 4. I usually have 5 or more so that's a little dissapointing but still very happy. This is her first litter with me, i got her right after she was bred. The buck is (i believe) a orange carrying satin. (the breeder didnt know, he was 14) I...

Always wanting to learn something new about genes, i'm slowly trying to deal with modifier genes. The vienna gene is a good example for this subject, and as a breeder of vienna marked rabbits, i can talk about this gene and share my humble knowledge of it. The thing with this gene is that i'm...

Hi, A breeder friend of mine has a litter with a singlee lutino in it, and we are not really sure what it genetically is. Either black or black tort, we think the last because he looks different than the usual "black lutino" that we had previously. So he is something else. Could he be agouti...

Sunday, i flipped my doe over to check her vent if it had the right color for breeding. It looked swollen and infected with white fluid in it and crusts around it. I washed it clean and gave her a antibiotics, everyday and it looks better now but still. I wonder how it happened. It can't be a...

Hi, I need satins from germany and i have been looking up an down the pas month. And i've finally found a litter with available kits that i can get. Normally i don't have a problem with picking one but now i need some help.. The reason i ask is because im going to pay big money for this so i...

Hi, A friend is going to cross a satin to a rex and i already know the outcome. But she asked the following: if they both don't carry normal coat, how can they make one? The rex doesn't carry satin but the satin does carry rex. So 50% of the kits will be rex and the other half will be normal...

I have 2 doe's in Arika's litter and i need to keep one.. but which one? Normally i can decide easily, either by color preference or head shape, i like big boned, square heads.. but can't see a thing because of the mane I still have a few weeks left until they're weaned, but people might call...
