So I may know plenty about raising meat rabbits for MEAT....but I am clueless when it comes to genetics and colours. My sister has started raising Netherland Dwarfs. She wants to know what you all think these colours are. My guess (probably wrong) is either Blue Silver Marten or Lilac Silver Marten...and Black Silver Marten. Let's see how wrong I am LOL.
They are 4 weeks old tomorrow.
Sorry for the bad lighting. Cell phone pictures.

I can't help you with colors, but dang that is a big kit!

I think the picture is a bit deceiving. It may be a bit bigger, it may not be...it kept putting its back legs up on the couch behind it, which lifted its butt making it look bigger. LOL...just trying to be a comedian I guess. "Hey Ma! Look what I can do!"

Unfortunately the pictures make it hard to tell if there is any brown on these kits.

I agree that some are black and some are blue, I don't see any lilac. I believe they are either otter or silver marten (sable marten would not have a dark black saddle but a sepia brown or smokey blue one)

Silver martens are basically chinchilla otters so there shouldn't be any brown around the eyes, ears, belly or nape of the neck, if they do have brown trimmings then they are otters.
