Perfect example, thank you! Harlequin just didn't seem likely, but I couldn't come up with any other explanation for all those orange patches.

Trouble I've found is that the rats will search for a way in, a 1" hole is like an open invitation. So that means that roof sections, sidewalls, around J-feeders/water bottles all need to be covered with the 1/4 to 1/2" hardware cloth. Such a pain.

Sorry, no test for breed that I know of for rabbits. But I have another question--this could just be my monitor, or light differences when the photo was taken, but is the rabbit's right ear (the left looking at the photo) really part chocolate and part yellowish? The back looks like there are...

Looks like a "snowball", a word for two different conditions with the same trait--the dark color only goes a short distance into the fiber before the hair turns white. They got the name snowball because they look like "dirty snowballs", just a little dark color on an otherwise whitish coat. When...

From the looks of the chocolate on the nose, which is in uneven patches, I think this bunny may already carry a harlequin gene. Tort is recessive to harlequin, so a harlequin buck would work well for you. Since you don't want black kits, why not choose a chocolate harlequin? Your rabbit appears...

It sure can be hard to choose which rabbits to keep, which to cull, and which to sell. Been doing this for over four decades, and it gets harder, not easier! Just love those bunnies.

I can't see the attachment either, sorry.

Fascinating colors. Okay, so mom is a brindled harlequin, although she does have eye rings (a proper harlequin shouldn't). You can see all the mottling of colors in her coat: dad looks like a dilute blue/fawn tricolor, and mystery baby also has harlequin. Look at the patches of color on his...

Nope. Black babies have bellies and inner ears all the same color--black. But agouti patterned rabbits have lighter bellies, and most noticeable even as newborns--those light inner ears. By the third day, they should look quite white inside the ears. Regular black agouti rabbits (called...

What things in particular?

Sounds good.

Tell me about your rabbit pen. How far apart are the wires? Standard cage sidewalls are 1" x 2" holes, flooring is usually 1/2" x 1". Rats, weasels, and snakes can go right through holes as small as a quarter, and they all love baby bunnies. If predators were getting into the pen, or simply...

Fascinating colors

Did we determine what the undercolor on the reddish kit was?

Okay, Flemish have interesting color names. Translated: Fawn--rich golden straw color, shading to light cream at base Sandy--chestnut brown, brassy reddish intermediate band, slate gray undercoat--aka chestnut or castor agouti Frosty/ermine--(not a showable color, but it occurs when fawn 'ee'...

The eye rings say either tan 'a(t)' or agouti 'A_'. The banding on the ear hair says it is agouti: The silver band says chinchilla or sable. The lighter shading down the sides of the rabbit looks like a sable based color, which would make it a sable chinchilla. That's my guess, anyway.

It's actually a high rufus Satin Angora chocolate agouti. This is her at two weeks, just looking like a plain chocolate agouti: Once the high rufus orange bands started to grow in, she ended up looking like a red, didn't she? When you look at the fiber closely, you can still see the chocolate...

Isn't it wonderful! Rabbit Talk said they were working on it, and it looks like they did, woo hoo!

I can see the thumbnails now, but cannot enlarge them to really see the photo. I tried .png in text paste and as a picture with the button to the right of the link button on a test thread, nothing posted. I finally did get a .jpg to load as a thumbnail, using the attach files button on the...

Trying again, photos are not showing up on the other threads either. One person got a .jpg through, although when you clicked on it, there was nothing to see. I sure hope Rabbit Talk can get .png pictures to post again, and that the enlarge feature works again. Sure is missed. Here's another try...
