A Question about broken does...

[TinysMom]

I'm sitting here and watching Buttercup pull yetMORE fur for her nest. For the record - she refuses to usenestboxes...so I let her make her own style of nest. The other day shemade an awesome nest (I'll have to take a photo) and just FILLED itwith fur....

Then when she gave birth - she stuck her HEAD in the nest and had the babies in the middle of the cage....

:shock:

Anyway - on to my question. She's pulling more fur and I'm noticing that ALL the fur she's pulling is white.

Then I got to thinking about my other broken does. I've never seen anyfur in their nest that wasn't white...never the color of their pattern.

What about y'all? Have you ever had a broken doe pull fur that wasn't white?

Just wondering if my does are strange...

...like me?

Most of the fur is pulled from the belly, chest and dewlap - which in brokens is generally white fur

Just to be different mine was mainly all coloured don't ask me why but it was!

There are some brokens that are minimalwhites. In Mini Rex, these are referred to as"booteds".We actually have a couple genetic blackbrokens with just white toenails and a few white hairs.

Mine personally is white underneath and has awhite dewlap so i don't know where she pulled the coloured fur from, ireally didn't think about it at the time now you've got me wondering!
