Kits color?

[CeroBlanco]

Hi all! In your opinion, what color are the first two kits from the left? It seems that the first is slightly lighter than the second. They are 10 days old. The father is blue, the mother is black VM, she carries dilute.

Opals?

I don't think you could get an agouti (e.g. opal) from two self colored rabbits. They wouldn't carry the required genes.

Could they be tort? That's my first guess...

my vote is tort too. the inner ears look dark. cute!

Dont know how I missed the agouti bit. Thats what I get for trying to function with a cold. :roll:

They both look blue tort to me

I thought blue tort too as the most likely color, but they were very clear at the birth, identical to the lilac tort of this page http://www.gbfarm.org/rabbit/holland-co ... aded.shtml . And also now, they are very similar to lilac tort. But the odds are against this supposition. Moreover, in this same litter I have two blacks and a seal probably, so no chocolate based anywhere.
And the third, it is a blue VM, isn't it?

Blue torts

I don't see any indication of chocolate and statistically that would be less than a 1 in 16 chance
