I have 6 baby Holland lops, and we are pretty sure 2 are chocolate tort. Is chocolate tort a rare color? Also, what are they good to breed with in case I want to keep one. Here is a picture of one at a week and a half. We know it is not a orange or cream because neither parent has the agouti gene.

I guess you could say that it's "rare"
I have really been grateful to have a litter of 3 different torts show up recently

they were out of a chocolate sallander aabbchdcDdee

bred to a black tort aaBbCcDdee

so if you introduce the chin gene you can also get sallanders

the other thing that I will also be breeding to the torts is all the self colors
black, chocolate, blue and lilac
