What colors can I get?

LittleFluffyBunnies · Jan 23, 2016

I used a genetics calculator from Kim's rabbit hutch. It said if I breed two smoke pearls I would get blue, lilac, smoke pearl, REW, pointed white, blue tort and lilac tort. Is that correct? Also I know that since my buck and doe are VM I will get 50% BEW, 25% VM or Vienna carriers, and 25% not VM. What color kits do you all think I will get when I breed them?

I'd also like to confirm my doe is a smoke pearl, because as a baby couldn't tell if she was self or shaded but now after molting she looks shaded but might be just me. I'm sorry for so many posts about colors. I find them so confusing, I once thought my rabbits were steels but were just sun-bleached!! :lol: :lol: :lol: So she is probably a blue, but I thought I may as well ask just in case. Her face, ears, feet and tail seem darker to me. And her belly a bit lighter.

Thanks!
I just wanted to say how thankful I am for RabbitTalk, you all are so nice and have helped me So much! Thank you!!!!

Both look like Vienna marked dark smoke pearls to me

Everything they produce should be self (so no chestnuts or opals), blue based and most should be sable - so basically most, or all, of the kits will be smoke Pearl

Whether you get any other colours depends on hidden recessives and if they are Vienna marked and not Dutch or mis-marked

The only way you'll get lilacs is if they BOTH carry the chocolate gene and then you should get 25% lilac based kits

Because they are quite dark I suspect they do not secretly carry himilayan or red eyed white but you won't know unless you breed them (or if you know one their parents were either colour)

If they are indeed Vienna carriers then you should get 25% BEW, 50% Vienna carrier/marked and 25% no Vienna

All we know for sure is that you'll have more Smoke Pearls.

To confirm ANY other color we would need you to provide background information, like what recessive genes they hold.

Thanks!

I don't know the parent's colors. I do know that in Galadriel's litter, half was black and half was either blue or smoke pearl, I didn't take a close look. Same for Gandalf's litter. Some were VM, some not.

Would it be possible for them to get blue tort?
