Baby bunny litters update + color question

[Lizardslaps]

Well my new unproven doe gave birth to 5 with no peanuts 2 runts that needed a few extra feedings but are doing good

there 3 weeks old today I couldn't quite get a picture of all 5 together they were not happy about being bothered

mid sized kits

2 runts and the fat one (left)

colors to me look like 4 blue otters and a black


these are my 5 week olds she from another doe I have

this 5 week old one is the only rabbit I have with a white undercoat all the other kits + adults have a solid blue coat all the way down Is she not an otter and something else?

Oh, so tiny!

definitely an otter

There are all sorts of dark, light and pattern modifiers that tweek a rabbits colour which is why this little guy looks a bit different.

I've never shown the tan varieties but I believe it is a disqualification - perhaps check the SOP to confirm

Huh didn't know I was mostly curious I dont show so its not a huge deal but definitely time for some new blood the 4 colors these rabbits can produce are getting boring Im hopping for a colorful nest box one of these days

That last picture looks like a "snowball". I have elops, usually dilutes, that occasionally do this. It molts out when they get their new coat, which is usually a brilliant blue. I've never had them turn white again. I'd be interested in how it looks around 16 weeks of age.

I plan on keeping them both as long as they dont turn out like the doe that had 5 kits
