What color be this??

[Celice]

this little girl was born from a New Zealand doe and a broken Blue mix buck. I'm still kinda new to the rabbits colors so if anyone can tell me what color she is that would be great! I'll probably be posting more rabbits I don't know the colors of here too...

The pic on top would be some sort of smoked pearl....not sure what the bottom rabbit pic is.... :?

I agree that the top rabbit is a smoke which is a fancy way of saying blue sable something but I don't think she is a smoke pearl but a smoke point AKA blue sable point or blue point

The second rabbit is more confusing - I think she is an opal (AKA blue agouti) but she might be a blue fox (AKA blue torted otter) instead :shrug: could you post a clearer picture or do you know the colours of her parents or siblings?

I thought so too. I'll take more pictures of them both soon.

for the bottom I know for sure she's not an opal no tan in her want. her parents were a REW NZ and the father a Steeled Sable Agouti.

How are you certain that she isnt opal? The REW doe could genetically be anything as the white hides all other colours.

I can see she's agouti (A_), and dilute (dd) The foot and ear colors suggest she probably has a white belly too.

I also wonder, what makes you sure she isn't opal?

very certain. all her points are white like around the nose, eyes, ears and sides. I'm sure she carries opal but it would be from her grandmother, the litter her father was in didn't have any opals. The REW that was her mother never threw opal ether.

She actually looks like a Shaded Squirrel to me (I think the another word for it is blue chinchilla).

Your rabbit really looks like she has tan ticking in the pic.

She might be a squirrel. An opal will have the tan lacing on the belly and some other places like you mentioned, and a tan patch on the back of the neck.

An opal is just a blue agouti, so it's not something that had to be expressly "carried," it can be fairly easily put together from anything with blue and agouti genes. That includes anything visually chinchilla. A squirrel is just a blue chinchilla, it will look almost exactly like an opal, without the tan or cream color.

I've actually been REALLY confused by a squirrel before, she looked more like a blue steel under dimmer yellow lights. When I finally I took her out into the sunlight for a really good look, I was able to see what she really was.

Also..My camera is becoming NOTORIOUS for distorting the colors of my kits. I can see what they are in person, but others often mistake what shows up on the screen. It's definitely worth the effort to get some of the odder colored animals in different lighting for pics.

Err...wait...did you just suggest she may be a dilute shagouti? Now I'm confused...

is it passable for squirrel to be sabled? I have a sable chinchilla kit and it's basically a really dark chinchilla with darker ears nose and feet. So I wonder is she's a Sabled Squirrel?

I just posted a picture of my other squirrel doe I had a while back and her color is almost spot on at the nose and ears, but her back is REALLY light. OH, and she was born white. in fact all the kits were this color.

Like always, your rabbits make my head spin. :stars:

haha!! but it's a good thing!!! a great head-spinning learning experience!!! XD

I just took lots of pictures of her. I'll post them now <br /><br /> __________ Sat Nov 15, 2014 9:40 pm __________ <br /><br /> Some more pictures of the bottom doeling. it looks like she's growing into her winter coat and getting darker. her sire did this to me he's get really light in the summer and really dark in the winter.

The brown tones in the first pic made me rule out chin or shaded agouti but in the ones above I do see the shaded gene - it might of been a camera distortion or she is VERY sooty and is moulting out to a cleaner colour.

So I agree with agouti, dilute, shaded = shaded squirrel
