No picks yet but the more I look at my little impulse buy - when a five hour round trip drive is involved I tend to come back with more rabbits than I went for :oops: - the more she looks lavender instead of blue.

The breeder called her a broken grey but she is a light blue with enough red mixed in to look lavender.

Do New Zealand even come in lavender?
 
Oooh, I have no idea, but do you have a pic? sounds like a pretty bunrab!
 
I am so intriqued :p


If you get pictures, try and take one of her fur ring pattern and colour by blowing on the coat like this.

This is her. The last picture shows the color the best, she is the one with her head behind the hay rack.

And this is one of my second generation harlequin project rabbits. It seems to be iridescent :shock:

My eldest son just informed me that your bunny has a crop circle :shock:
 
Ha ha, yes it does kind of look like a crop circle ;)

Genetically a broken blue tort is ' aa B_ C_ dd ee ENen'
So it is a self, a black, a dilution, non-extension and one broken gene

Fawns are agouti that have non-extension and his parents must have been blue fawns or carried the blue as well as the self/non agouti.
