    Looks like blue chinchilla, but not..

    The tweener makes even more sense to. Before I had bred King Arthur to Little Princess and had gotten a very lightly otter (may have been a tweener). Then the first litter King Arthur and Guinevere (this current litter is their 2nd successful litter). They also produced one that looked like a...

    Looks like blue chinchilla, but not..

    Her GGFather is on the dams side, so that makes perfect sense. Im still sifting through pedigrees and found another blue steel. So, here's a brief rabbit family tree of this steel baby. I had gotten 2 blues, Little Princess (just found that her grandfather on her dam's side was steel) and Toby...

    Looks like blue chinchilla, but not..

    Okay, i plucked some guard hairs and my camera refuses to focus, but I definitely see banding, it's no one color at the tip. And I'm right now looking at my pedigrees and her her great grandfather is a broken blue silver tipped steel, i didn't realize how close that steel was in her genetics, so...

    Satin Angora chocolate- Silvering?

    Yeah, its a shame, she has a great body and her 2 brothers are exactly the same, in body and color. I ended up culling all her colored offspring. But she threw super nice REWs, so I'll definitely have to do that pairing again

    Here's a few current close up pics, one of the ear and one the hair parted on the colored spot.

    Ooo, than would be cool. Is there any way to confirm its steel? These are actually my english lops (is steel showable in them). I think I do remember seeing steel further back in one of my breeders pedigree. I'll have to look and see if I'm remembering right.

    Satin Angora chocolate- Silvering?

    I thought I'd update this post with a better picture of the chocolate doe that was in question. Just for future reference for anyone who stumbles on this post. She's almost in full coat here and it's clearer to see her white hairs.

    Looks like blue chinchilla, but not..

    I have a baby rabbit in a litter that looks like a broken blue chinchilla, but the inside of the ears are colored and so is around the eyes and nostrils. Is this a real coloring or something just messed up in its genetics. Sire is a broken blue otter and dam is a self blue. Here's some pics of...

    What's the dif between red and high rufus chocolate agouti?

    She's not a red, if she was, she wouldn't have the grayish colored undercoat, it would just be red/fawn and cream, and then she may have only a little color on her ear tips and nose if she's a bit smutty. So, I'd say she's an agouti. If her ear tips are brown, than she is a chocolate agouti and...

    Is this enough color on this broken?

    That's what I was thinking, but since I have no personal show experience, I have nothing to go on. Thanks for sharing an example of a rabbit you successfully showed! That helps! I have a kid coming to find a rex for 4H and I want make sure that my current litter had no DQs. He was the only one...

    Is this enough color on this broken?

    Would one say this broken baby rex has at least ten percent coloring and would be able to be shown?

    Is the Desert Southwest Classic happening this year?

    I know the last few years there has been a rabbit show in El Centro (Imperial valley) CA. I can't find anything about it for this year. Except, KW cages has it listed in their show schedule list, so people can order for pick up at it. The only info it gives is that it's November 9th, I think. If...

    Satin Angora chocolate- Silvering?

    Ah, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the clarification. I thinking to stay on the safe side I'll not let anyone choose any of the colored babies, just in case they develop like their mom did. I'd hate for them to get disqualified for it. I have several REWs available, so I'll try to...

    Satin Angora chocolate- Silvering?

    Thanks! That's good to know the it's just a fault. If any of the 4h families are interested in any of her colored babies to show, I'll be sure to make sure they are aware about the stray hairs.

    Satin Angora chocolate- Silvering?

    So update, doe (and her 2 brothers) definitely appear to all have silvering. Which is disappointing, since I don't really want to keep that in my herd, so thet will have to be woolers. But I am currently evaluating the doe's litter of 9. I have 4h people reaching out wanting show bunnies, some...

    Need advice about Craigslist sale

    Definitely I definitely wouldn't offer a refund or new rabbit, I only offer that to friends or family, who would tell me exactly what happened. And that would be a good idea to start stating all sales are final, just as a protection. As for what happened to the rabbit, since you would the...

    Satin Angora chocolate- Silvering?

    Thanks to everyone giving input, just when I think I'm getting the hang of genetics, then the extra modifiers come into play and I'm at a loss. I've been meaning to give some update, but life has been crazy! So, I have that doe's 2 brothers, and I noticed they we're just about to start growing...

    Recommendations for Tattoo Pen?

    I had gotten the TB Tatt tattoo pen by All Things Bunnies off of Amazon. Seems to work pretty good in my opinion, but I also have never tried anything else yet. They give you different bundle options. Since I was just starting out I went for the deluxe set, which came with the numbing spray.

    Satin Angora chocolate- Silvering?

    Okay, I got a closer look at individual hairs. The coat is still growing in, like it's barely half an inch, it's why she looks funny, she looks like a broken, but she's actually solid chocolate (save for these sprinkling of white hairs). I couldn't get a clear Pic of the hairs, but the white...
