Not blue, that's for sure..

I'm gonna say.... perhaps a Chocolate? Maybe even a colour from the shaded group, even. It will get easier to tell as s/he gets older.

Oh, forgot to mention that mom is blue and dad ia black. Im just so confused because this baby doesnt look black or blue to me. I thought I was seeing things but compared to the other babies who are clearly black...this baby isnt.

Looks to me like a very dark chocolate. Is there any possibility of the parents carrying chocolate?

 

[whaleyk98]

Ok, in the dads peds there is chin,tort (black and blue),black, REW, chestnut, sable point, and lynx. Moms is blue, opal, chin, steel, and tort. Could the baby be opal?

It looks Chocolate!

 

[whaleyk98]

Its not brown though. More like a drk smokey grey. Thats why I just assumed it was blue. :?

 

[wooly_queen]

[TinysMom]

Definitely not chocolate as it isn't brown enough - doesn't seem blue though.

That's what I think too! That is how they start out. Smoky grey pretty much matches the description of their color. I made the same mistake when I had my first seal babies! I was calling them blue up until they were almost 3 weeks old. Looks like it will be shaded.

It must have come from further back in their heritage. rabbit genetics are just funny like that. And you do already have a lot of shaded in their background.

Hmmm...ok guys. Thanks. Ill post pics again in a couple weeks. This is interesting,lol.

Siamese Sable is my vote, its the sepia brown Siamese sables are.

 

[wooly_queen]

yeah siamese sables look dark blue when they are babies...flashes from cameras make the brown stand out. When they get a little older they get some silvery ticking in their fur. Then they turn brown... hahaha! Such weird stages they go through. lol
