Blue Eyed White Questions

[WylieCoyote]

My Albino meat mutt Doe named Phoebe had 10 kits. 2 passed the first night. One of the 8 survivors is a blue-eyed white. The buck is an vienna marked Agouti.

Is BEW desirable and more valuable than the other kits? Doesn't that mean my all white doe is a Vienna carrier?

It's REW not albino (Because albino specifically is very rare, and REWs are not) and I'd say the BEW would be more valuable because the color is somewhat rare but if bored they will throw a ton of Vianne marks

Color should be one of the last considerations for value.

Is BEW desirable and more valuable than the other kits? Doesn't that mean my all white doe is a Vienna carrier?

More valuable? Not really. At the end of the day the value of the rabbit is more dependent on the breeding behind it and its conformation and temperament than the chrome.

A BEW meat-mutt has the same value as an agouti, a REW, a harlequin or a purple spotted meat-mutt. It may be more attractive to pet buyers if you market any of your kits towards them, but the value is still pretty much the same as any other rabbit you would sell.

But yes, your Doe is a vienna carrier.
