OKAY... I'M a touch confused.
These aren't regularly being posted on Wednesdays at 10 pm. The 2nd was a thursday, the ninth was a thursday, and the most recent was a friday. By the time I see them it's all figured out already.... because they aren't posted when I expect them. So I'm confused. When are they posted, or in what time zone are they being posted?

I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT THIS!!!!

I unexpectedly started morning shifts on the 6th and my schedule has been all messed up. So, online activities were and after thought for me. However, I now have my **** figured out and reminders set, all that good jazz, they will be posted correctly henceforth.

Again sorry for the funky posting.

Quiz #4

When doing a health check, what are you looking for in the ears?

Good luck!​

 

[tambayo]

Clean, smooth ears with an even temperature, "dirt" may be earmites and heat spots from resulting inflamation. And because mites make the ears itchy also damage from scratching.

Quiz #3 Answer

The common name for the color aa bb CC DD EE enen SiSi VV WW DuDu is chocolate (or self chocolate).

The fist to answer correctly was Naelin.
Lets break it down a little.

This will be a very simple explanation in Layman's terms, please see links for more in depth explanation with proper Terminology.

This is the ideal agouti gene "code" (aka wild rabbit color, the OG) AA BB CC DD EE enen SiSi VV WW DuDu the bold letters effect the color (agouti, black, blue, chocolate, lilac, etc), while the the rest of it effects the pattern (dutch, broken, harlequin etc.). When both letter are upper case that represents that it is definantly a dominant trait, meaning that it will be visible.
Go ahead and look back at the original color code. As you can see "aa" is not in upper case, this means that there is no agouti influence and the rabbit will most likely be one solid color across the entire body. You can also see that "bb" is lower case, this means that the rabbit will most likley have a chocolate color base, rather than black (which would be BB). Non of the other alleles (letters) are different from the OG agouti color. This means that the rabbit would be a solid chacolate color.
