Cupcake Update Pics.....silvering?

[OneAcreFarm]

Her color has started changing, she is getting this silver look spreading everywhere....Any thoughts on what color she might end up? We are thinking that she is at least part Flemish Giant....

I still want her to be a Silver or a Silver Fox.

She looks to be maybe a Steel?

I have not been able to find any really good pics of Steel Grey Flemish babies or even Silver Fox babies for that matter...so it is really hard to compare her...

I highly dought you will find any good steel babies because its not a popular variety..give me a couple weeks and I might be able to get you some good pics of baby light gray and steel...its werid that she dosen't have any white eye circles...she might be ticked black..

Steels are black base with the silver tipped hairs, not really silvering, per se. It's a black agouti pattern, basically. Very pretty. Your girl is a regular agouti, she's a dark Sandy. Most Flemish sandies are lighter brown in color, but you do get some darker ones, like my Silvia: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/? ... 9155321429

She doesn't have quite as much of the eye/nose lacing or white belly as your girl, but it's the same basic coloration.<br /><br />__________ Mon Apr 18, 2011 5:20 pm __________<br /><br />http://www.rayrabbit.com/photos/3

There's a website that shows the different varieties, the steels I have seen here often look much more black than that particular rabbit. There is quite a range of shades possible within each of these colors (except white) and the steel would have no rufus (brown/red) which is most noticeable on your girl behind her ears at the nape of her neck.
