What kind of non extension is this?

First thought of blue tort but is it? Or maybe something else?
Out of opal and black tort

Or lilac?

This is what they're saying on the fb group

Kate
Looks to be lilac tort. It's definitely a tort, because the belly and ear linings are colored. Looks like either the picture lightened her up a bit or she's very lightly shaded, though. Torts tend to get a lot darker as they develop, though.

Kate
Hmm. It doesn't look chocolate tort to me at all and I have a litter of chocolate torts right now at about the same age, too. The back should be a bright golden-orange color in chocolate tort at this age, with some 'milk chocolate' shading coming in. Give her some time, maybe she's going to be obviously one color or the other in a week or two. Sometimes with torts, it is really hard to tell their colors this early because they change so much.

Dorothy
At this moment I would say it is going to be a lovely lilac tort but they can fool you and it may darken up to a blue tort.

Laura
The body color looks too dilute to be a choc tort. As Kate said, choc torts have a very bright orange body color. Lilac torts will also lack shading-- after all, lilac tort is simply the dilute of a chocolate tort, so they will look very similar, except more "pastel" in shade. All of that being said, blue tort is also a possibility, although it is unusual for them to be this 'clean' at this stage-- usually there is more blue shading. Orange or red would have lighter or white agouti markings inside ears, belly, etc-- even with wideband and max rufus, the belly and inside of ears would not have darker shading like this kit, but be lighter but closer to the topcolor.

I agree, My blue tortd are very sooty at that age

He has no shading at all, there is nothing blue on him, though he has a little pinkish tinge on his feet.
But lilac torts should be lighter brown than this? Many have said lilac tort but some are also questioning blue tort.

I hope he is lilac, that would be a huge surprise for my breeding project.
Though i had other plans and was not going to keep any bucks from the litters.
I will have to make room for him if he is indeed choc based.
Will testbreed his mother with a choc buck to find out.

This suggests me that the parents are closely related, the doe's grandfather looks identical to the buck and they probably come from the same wholesaler who has delivered choc based rabbits to petshops before, where the buck and both the doe's grandparents come from.<br /><br />__________ Tue Mar 26, 2013 7:07 pm __________<br /><br />Still a mystery.. is the grey tinge on his feet lilac?

I know what it is!!!!!!

CUTE!!!!!!

Haha you got me there! :lol:

I was getting excited and expecting more something like this "yes he definitely is a lilac tort blabla"

He looks cuter than the average baby to me, if i compare him to the kits from last year around the same age.
Ofcourse they're all cute and sweet but this one is different.. and the possibility of him being lilac makes him unresistable!
I'm definitely going to keep this guy, he has grown on me now. :mrgreen:
