Ok that's good to know... I appreciate all of your help. Thanks! <br /><br /> __________ Sun Apr 17, 2016 3:11 pm __________ <br /><br /> So if all of them are black based, what are the chances that they're carrying any recessive traits for diluted colors like the blue or chocolate that is back in the pedigrees?
 
It depends on how far back in the pedigree it is. If its a direct sire or dam that was dilute or chocolate then the rabbit carries it, if it was a granddam or grandsire or further back there is really no way to know without test breeding to a dilute or chocolate rabbit to see what they throw.
 
None of the kit pictures you've posted look chocolate or dilute and you would expect 25% to be if both parents were carriers but it can take several litters to rule it out completely
