What Color Are These Steampunk Rabbits?

[Rabbits by Accident]

I have two brothers like this, and I don't know their heritage. Is this a specific kind of rabbit? Their father looked similar, but not exactly like this. The definition is getting stronger and darker. It's really neat because the black part of their face sticks out farther than the brown. These are older photos, I'll take new ones tomorrow, to show how strongly the coloration is progressing.

Is there a breed like this? or does this coloration have a name? or are they just weird steampunk rabbits??

I am guess that the color is a black tort. the eye brows look really funny.

I know right?? and they are getting more and more pronounced ... wait til you see tomorrow's pic. That's why I gave them Harry Potter names LOL Quidditch & Phineas.

Black tort, probably in-between a baby and adult coat.

Is the black area usually as delineated as theirs are? And sticks out like that? I've never seen a rabbit like that, but then I've not seen a lot of rabbits

when baby coats moult sometimes weird things happen. And yes, it's quite normal.

Well . . . seems he could have the rare Cinnamon Rabbit in his background - I have no idea of his ancestry, so it's possible.

Cinnamon is a breed that only comes in one variety - tort - but lots of other breeds come in that variety too, so the color is not great evidence of Cinnamon ancestry. Cinnamons are black tort; your bunny looks like a blue tort. Compare the ear colors between your rabbit and the Cinnamon.

I need to add a 'tag line' that unless I'm asking about a specific thing, just "please don't take me seriously - I'm probably kidding" LOL. Besides we already ate him. I have to say, his father (who incidentally looked just like a cinnamon rabbit) was a real pain in the tush. Very unpleasant rabbit, and his genes seemed to be rather dominant LOL ... so he was tasty. (His name was actually "Bob" as in "kabob" because we could tell that was where he was headed)

If you didn't use cinnamon in your spices when you flavored him, that was a missed opportunity!
