Really struggling to understand genetics of bunnies and wondering what her kits will come out like 😊 I’m getting impatient so thought I would ask the experts I’m imagining g the possibilities are endless!!

From my knowledge, you're almost guaranteed to end up with all magpie/VM kits, opal and orange/cream, maybe torts is my guess for the colors. And they will be holland lops because... they're holland lops..? I'd think it's pretty self explanatory but breeding lops to lops only will produce lops, not like you'll end up with an angora or anything.
 
Thanks for the reply, yes I knew I would end up with mini lops as that’s what both parents are, I just find all the genetics so mind boggling, ether way what ever the colour I’m so so excited! And if I get the colours you think I’ll be over the moon, dad has blue eyes but am I right that will only get passed I. If both parents carry the gene.
I kept rabbits as a child but now my children are older I need to fill in the gap with my love for animals lol if not I’ll get I’ll have more children and I’m way to old 😂😂😂😂
 
The Opal is A_B_C_ddE_Vv
The sable Magpie is aaB_c(chl)_Dde(j)evv although I'm not sure those can be the parents as neither seem to be Harlequin. Tort can't carry Harlie, and neither can Point (looks like one parent is maybe a blue or lilac point).

Anyhow, expect agoutis, opals, blacks, maybe blues and lilacs. Anything else depends on what the Opal carries. Some will be Vienna marked.

Brilliant thanks so much for the info, I can’t get hold of dads breeding parents to find out about his parents, but on asking about mables that’s who she said was her parents 🤷‍♀️. Looks like I’m In for a treat with the kits then!
super excited 😆 let’s hope she has more than 1 with it being her first litter xxx
