I can't see the jaw or belly in these photos, which would be white in a cream. But this kit doesn't have the light inner ears of an agouti, which is what a cream is (a dilute non-extension agouti).I need help identifying this kit’s coloring. At first glance the baby on the far left appears to be a VM cream, but both parents are “self” colored rabbits…so I’m stumped. Any suggestions?
Dam is a VM black and Sire is a VM blue
I agree. Even as newborns, you can see the white inner ears of an agouti rabbit (cream is a dilute agouti with the fawn non-extension 'ee' recessive gene, which removes the dark color on the body hair of the rabbit. 'ee' rabbits that are agouti are ideally all yellowish shades with no dark anywhere (fawn/cream/orange/red), but self non-agouti rabbits still retain dark color (black, chocolate, blue or lilac) on the points--head, ears, feet and tail.can't see the jaw or belly in these photos, which would be white in a cream.

Though it may just be the lighting/shadows, it does appear that the kit may have shading on the tail and lower flanks as well as in the ears. So it looks like it may be a dilute tort, either blue, or possibly lilac if there's chocolate in the background. That would make sense since a tort is a non-extension self.
