Me again :lol:

I'm more curious about the colour of the wee grey in the litter, I think I have:

2 black - self? Steel?
1 black agouti - kinda looks more brownish in some lights
1 magpie
And I'm unsure of the grey - could it be another blue steel? Lilac? Opal? *shrugs* still figuring out the genetics of my buns :lilbunny:

Sorry I missed your post earlier in the week

I see

Magpie - possibly blue magpie
chinchilla with white trim in ears
black without any grey at the nape of the neck
Silver tip steel (steel chinchilla) with grey at the nape of neck

And I *think* a blue silver tip steel (blue steel chinchilla AKA steel squirrel )

Do you have updated pictures and what are the colours of the parents ?
 
I haven't got very good updated pictures, as they're so active now. But I do have these

Doe is a steel seal and Buck is a blue chinchilla agouti

I've noticed the slight colour difference in the two darker kits - will one be seal like the mother?
I think I've got another blue steel, another black agouti chin, magpie and I thought the other two were just black :lol: one kit looks lighter though.
Would a self black rabbit still have lighter feet? And as kits, would they have the grey colour inside their ears, or would it be black?
Regarding what you think is a silver tipped steel - when do they start showing the flecking in their coat?

Thanks for your reply Dood!

Definitely a seal and a black :)

Lighter feet are normal in blacks

Steel don't always develop ticking and some can be so dark they look like a self instead of an agouti, I now think you may have a self blue and not a blue chin steel :shrug:

Sometimes
