Here is baby's genes. She is called a lilac sable. aa bb cchl- dd E- Her color wont breed true. If you breed 2 rabbits together with this gene code you may get lilac point which will breed true. But you wont get another lilac sable.

We found the gene!!! Our bunny is cchl!!! The cchl does sometimes cause the eyes to have a ruby glow!!! And my daughter found the rabbit responsible 5 generations back in the line!!! A smoke pearl had the cchl gene!! I knew it wasn't a ch, pointed white. Plus as the kit gets older her color is...

Males can hold their testicle inside. The way to find out is to pop the penis out. Its not hard. Just flip the bun and push down right in front of his pee spot to retract the skin. A penis will pop out in a boy and the vulva will be seen in a girl. The vet is probably correct that its a boy...

Sulmet is medication used in livestock to treat cocci. That all I know about it. I have used it in goats and sheep. As for the ammonia, I would use bleach! Ammonia, IMO is to harsh in fumes and not as good as a disinfectant as bleach. Use bleach diluted with water. I dont remember the ratio for...

Our area has a law against selling animals under 8 weeks and I am glad for it!!! Yeah rabbits can wean earlier but some sell right from teat and they bun has no time to adjust to the change from weaning and lossing the family. The stress of being sold too....and people wonder why the new bun...

I just took chicken pic recently. With eating the chickens, we can play with color when we breed. So we have been doing a lot of cross breeding with many breeds to see what pretty feathers we can get. They only bad side is the prettier the chickens, the harder it is to let them go to the...
