Looks like a flemish giant to me :)

Ah, I see. I was thinking since shadeds are best bred to other shaded, that you'd want to steer clear of mixing in selfs or others but that left me stuck with looking at the genetics and wondering where the broken gene comes in lol. So you can bring in a broken Self with a shaded background...

Just wondering how this would work. We have started breeding NDs in shaded and will soon be adding the tan pattern to our herd. Anyway, how would brokens be added? I know that when your breeding Self's you can just breed a Broken to a Self and have a chance of both in the litter, but with...

90% of the shows I've been to have remark cards along with the entry forms, so until you get your own supply, there's no need to worry. :) Just have fun, our first show was crazy and stressful since we didn't know where to go or what to do, but most people at the show (other breeders or...

Wow, thanks for the info. I'd love to work with different varieties and their genetics. Maybe when I get back into breeding after we move. :biggrin2:

Ok thanks for all the info. Just for my own curiosity, what's the difference between a smoke pearl and a smoke pearl marten? Or are they the same? And anotherquestion just out of interest, siamese sable X siamese sable = siamese sable so if you took.. siamese sable X siamese...

So a marten that carries otter and a chinchilla for one and a the other is a diluted siamese sable which is a tort with a shading gene...wow that's why I've never tried breeding for a certian shade or anything lol So her strongest point would be to try and find a buck and doe of the color she...

A friend of mine is hooked on a certain color of ND, I think she said Smoke Pearl Martan...or maybe it was the Siamese Smoke Pearl?..Anyway, she was asking how to breed a certain color/shade like those above?I don't have a clue since I haven't worked with ND's, but I know that it's not a 100%...

It may seem silly, but I'm curious. I just found out that I'm pregnant (SO EXCITED) and my fiance and I are starting to think about our future with the baby. One major question is our rabbits. Is it safe to continue our rabbitry while I'm pregnant and with an infant? I'm thinking more to the...

Oh yes I know this and have been doing it the whole time. The kits are clean, have been going to the bathroom great (trust me I've been peed on many times already -.-) and they have a clean nest as well.

I hadn't planned out this breeding well enough for a foster litter but for the first few days I've had no problems nursing them to mom. My does are all due this week, and as of right now I have 2 that are late and 3 due tomorrow, if anything I'm hoping for someone to pop tonight. Again, the...

I'm at my wits end with my rhinelander litter. They're 7 days old today and out of the 5 I've lost 3. One died from getting chilled when it crawled away from the rest and two died today. I've been nursing them to their mother who rejected the nest, I had only been feeding them once a day...

Update: RIP little one. Lost a baby today. :( I went to check on them when I got home from work and found one that had dug it's way away from the others into a corner. It was squeaking and so cold that I knew it wasn't going to make it. Either way, I tried everything I could think of but the...

Just an update, the litter is going strong, babies are very active and are feeding well. Their side markings are all coming in nicely, currently we have 2 marked babies that are looking very nice, a marked baby that may be lacking a bit of orange, and then the two sports. :) More pics will be up...

They are doing good. :) I just finished cleaning them down with a soft cloth and a dab of warm water, and also started working on their bathroom habits (well, they started I had to help finish :P ). I pulled a bit more hair from the doe to make their nest a bit softer and to keep the warmth in...

Put rabbitry after each choice. :)

Yep Rhines can get sports (solid and they are called "self"s in english spots) Charlies (no spots on either side) and even "marked" or "false" charlies (some spoting on the sides but not meeting the minimum 3 spots on each for showing. The rhinelander is in a way a broken harlie, since the...

Pictures! They were such wigglebuns that it was terribly hard to get anything semi-decent. :P Group: Two Sports (they are HUGE): and the three marked babies(black is the only clear marking on them, within the next few days the orange will come through): **This one will...

There is 5 total. 2 sports and 3 marked. :) Will get pics up tonight they are just too cute!
