How cute!

 

[FourRingCircus]

Wow! Those are big!

Sooo, this little guy is harlequinized?

I keep looking back and forth, and I think mine are the same size as the head of yours!! Are those meat mutts? What breed(s) do you have going into them? How big do they get as adults?

 

[Zass]

Yeah, I'd call it a harlequinized chestnut.
There was a tri color in your nestbox too. (The one with orange and white, with little black spots) That is just a broken harlequin, the broken gene somehow changes the harli patten to something spotted. :?

I have small hands, maybe? I don't think they look that big, but I've had some really big kits to compare them to over the years.

Were these questions for me?
If so, yeah they are total mutts : They have genetics from these known breeds:
New Zealand, Flemish Giant, Silver Fox, Lilac, American, and Harlequin.
And also one big chinchilla colored mutt buck who was carrying chocolate. No idea what went into him, but he wasn't born in any of the three rabbitrys that contributed genetics to these mutts. :lol:

They should get around 9 or 10 lbs as adults, and preform as well as anything for meat stock.

Their mom is a very pretty mutt, with a type, coat, and temper(but not color!) that reminds me more of her American ancestry than anything else. She LOVES having her back fur ruffled and head scratches, and is a huge mooch for greens and treats, but she's content in her cage in the rabbitry and wouldn't want to be a house bun.
She's what I'd consider a near-perfect backyard meat mutt.

Here they are, one month old!!! Hungry the Runt is half the size of his siblings but is growing and holding his own. The kit that had it's ear scratched and torn at birth which become infected now has a raggedy ear, but is doing well. In another four weeks they'll mostly be going to new homes, but I'll be keeping a buck and doe and another buckling will go to my sister (the one who owns Fiona).

 

[bikegurl]

So cute! Those broken reds are very pretty!

 

[Tbgb1912]

My most recent litter
8 kits - 5 blue, 2 black, 1 REW(questionable)

One blue kit wandered out of the nest too early and I found him stone cold
My doe is a fantastic momma. Her first litter she provided me with two kits, then five and now eight a pattern perhaps?

 

[TF3]

Oh the cuteness!!

Those reds are STUNNING!!
Want! <br /><br /> __________ Tue Jul 07, 2015 11:35 am __________ <br /><br /> Spice had her babies last night ~ only two!
They are fat and healthy, so all is well.
(But Spicey punched her ticket on the train out of here... cage space is at a premium and I bought her bred ~she didn't take, and then this time only two babes )

Spice is a chestnut rex cross, that's all I know (she was bought to be a foster mom if needed)
Sire is my Cali buck, so I am guessing the white kit could be pointed.
The other kit looks decidedly dilute (I was expecting chestnuts!) and self coloured (no lightness in ears?)



{the worst part is this was to be a meat litter and only two and pretty colours means we will *know* them and get attached! :x :lol: )

Pictures from Sprinkle's litter - kits are 3 days old

Mom is 'Sprinkles', tri-color.
Dad is 'Scarlett' (who is also HER dad) - broken blue chin

First we have the ONLY kit in the litter, so far, who has color. Broken Chestnut, maybe?? Looks like the other broken chestnut kits I have, but I don't understand how these two could produce a broken chestnut? :shock:

Anyway, it's a fat, healthy looking little thing




Four of the kits look like this... fat pink things.



And one kit looks like this, can't see much of a difference on the computer, but it looks more 'white' instead of 'pink', of that makes sense.

Chrissie's kits - 3 days old

Mom is 'Chrissie' - broken chestnut
Dad is 'Scarlett' - broken blue chin

Litter of 7 and no surprises that I can see... I think they're all broken chestnut (one solid). If you folks see anything different, let me know. Most of them are fat little potstickers. Two seem to be small and I've given a couple of supplemental feedings from my other does, since they seem to have a good milk supply.

Kit 1 - solid chestnut



Kit 2 - Broken Chestnut (could be Charlie)




__________ Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:14 pm __________

Chrissie's Litter - Kit 4 - Broken Chestnut

This one has nice, dark, bold markings. I think it's pretty





__________ Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:18 pm __________

Kit 4 - "Baldy" - this is the runtiest kit, cute little markings though - probably broken chestnut





__________ Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:20 pm __________

Kit 5 - barely any color





__________ Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:21 pm __________

Kit 6 - This one is also kind of runty, but seems to be doing ok
I like its freckles



<br /><br /> __________ Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:29 pm __________ <br /><br /> And finally - Kit 7, another nice bold broken chestnut (I assume)
I love its face because I think it looks like a Jersey Cow lol

This is my FIRST litter of Mini Lops!! Yay! I'm excited to see how they grow up

 

[Zinnia]

Broken Chestnut is one of my new favorite colors. Beautiful kits, Susie!

Finally a litter of all agouti

Got my Amber Rex kits. Doe did not make nest, she didn't like the box for some reason, after 20 minutes I gave up and went to bed. Came out to find her on the wire nursing kits. She has milk but hasn't pulled fur, I tried and it doesn't come out. Well, temps are dropping so I bet she'll do it herself tonight.

Nice, fat looking kits! Congrats! I'm sure she'll figure the fur out. At least she was nursing them! <br /><br /> __________ Wed Jul 08, 2015 8:46 am __________ <br /><br /> River likes to give her babies toys.
They won't be old enough to play with them for another few weeks... :roll: :lol:

 

[Zass]

Everyone's babies are so precious.

Another harlequin flower!
I only allowed the girls to feed 11 kits out of that big litter. Because I'd rather have 11 healthy babies than 15 struggling ones.

 

[TF3]

Scrumptious!!

How is the white on these ones?

 

[Zass]

Scrumptious!!

How is the white on these ones?

Lots of random white, and not a single one with good marks. :lol:

 

[TF3]

Well, bunny berries.
That stinks! And they look so purty all flowered together!

 

[Zass]

I wonder. Another show breeder was telling me how the white might be connected to getting good markings, so it may not be a bad thing to have when they start coming out magpie instead of jap(orange), since the magpie doesn't dq for white.

I've heard it suggested that it's easier to get magpies with really good markings for that reason.

Not to interested in saving any of these guys.
Maybe, if someone happens to get really good growth, I'd consider test breeding..

 

[Susie570]

Those are lovely kits! I just have a soft spot for Harlis
I'm hoping some of the harli kits in River's litter come out with better patterns this time!

 

[WhWRabbitry]

This litter of Mini Lops arrived in the early morning hours today!
6 delivered, 4 healthy survivors.


I had to post this picture also of the proud poppa. I thought he was so adorable. He kept keeping watch while she was kindling.
