Well after a lot of kit loses one of our Lionheads kindled this morning 3 kits. All kits are alive and fingers crossed. I honestly had little hope for the doe. She kindled 2 stillborn kits last time. I rebreed her right away as she looked to be doing well. During the first 2 or 3 weeks she started looking worse. Partly because she pulled so much fur the first time around. I finally got one of my rabbits to use a nestbox. I was determined this time and put in 2 boxes. I joked around if she didn't start building a nest in one of the nestboxes, that I would put several more in the cage. She would have to jump from box to box to get around lol

Here are the Lionhead babies at 7.5 weeks. Can you help me with the colors. The dam is all black vienna marked (white paw), sire is a chestnut with steel markings. Our names didn't work out well once sex was better determined.

Doe - Jose II








Buck - Misty lol








Buck - Izzy









Here are the babies at 2 weeks

Interesting colour on that one pink one... What do you think it will be?

And congrats, I can't wait to see them grow!

I'm really curious myself. The dam is all black with a white paw which I believe is vienna marked.
 
Congrats on the popples! I, too, am interested in their colors and can't wait to see.
 
Good for you on the nest boxes!! LOL And :congratulations: on the cute popples!!!
 
Thanks, I couldn't remember what the pink one looked like, LOL.

I think it's smoke pearl, I wonder now what the non-chestnut kit is.
 
Alright, so Siamese sable, black, and chestnut vienna. That's my final offer ;)

I love the vienna, he looks so... dapper, lol.

Added 7.5week pics, still final answer :) I loved the vienna chestnut one too, If she would have been a he, I'd be keeping him to breed to my vienna marked does.
