Hello! Introduction to my Herd

[FluffleFarm]

Hello! My family and I just began our rabbit journey. We have traditionally handled parrots (Green cheek conures, parrotlets and Indian ring necks) so my knowledge of genetics is strong in the parrot world, but rabbits are a literal whole new world (cue flying carpet).

We homeschool our 3 kids (only 1.5 of school age) and have close to 7 acres in sunny southeast Florida.

Bunnies and parrots keep mama home to keep on homeschooling and loving the babies!

Enough about me, on to the fluffs!

So we have Holland lops and netherland dwarfs and while I trust one of the ladies we got almost all of the lops from, the lady we got the dwarfs from didn’t seem as knowledgeable. So now I question everything. * is male, rest are female.

Holland Lops: (all are pedigreed except bun bun)
Peter* and Patches had Bucky*, Minnie, Princess and Pitter Patter.

Peter* is Chestnut white ear
Patches is Japanese black/orange harlequin
Bucky* is cream vm white ear
Minnie is cream vm white ear
Princess is Japanese orange fawn harlequin
Pitter Patter is chestnut vc

Sparkles is opal
Layla is tricolor broken?
Bun Bun* is blue eyed white
Honey is cream vm with blue eyes
Dash* is a broken black tort


Now for the Dwarfs:
Hopper is a black otter. (Tan-ish cream fur)
Beautiful is a silver marten. (White fur not tan or cream)
Bashful is blue otter?
Breezy is blue otter?
Maximus* is broken black (getting photo ohim, he’s new)

None of my dwarfs are pedigreed except Maximus*. Beautiful and Breezy are mom/daughter.

do those colors seem right?

Are you sure those are cream vm, not orange vm? Its hard to tell in pictures if they are dilute or not (cream is dilute), Honey at least doesnt look very dilute
Layla looks charlie black tort to me
Princess is black/orange harlequin
Bashful and Breezy look vienna marked
The rest of the colors look right

I am sure of little! Layla princess and honey came from a lady who did shows with her daughter and ad a kid. But I am sure of very little haha!
