Hi everyone. I am new here! Glad I found other bunny lovers.
I raise Angora rabbits.
I have been working on colors for several years now.
I am just stumped by our latest kit.
She is beautiful and was a total surprise.
She comes from chocolate and black lines that still have a lot of unknown genes floating around.
We have gotten REPW, Lilac, Blues, Fawns, all different torts, brokens, etc from our buns but never this blend of color. But I still have a lot of hidden genes to discover.
Every year I find at least one new color or combo in a nest.
And the big surprise...this colored rabbit has red eyes. Very red, no mistake about it!! Red iris and red pupil. Totally red. I was shocked.
Her mom is Black with hidden genes and dad is chocolate with hidden genes.
They are all French/English crosses. I also have been working on fiber quality for my spinning hobby.
I havent found any info on colored rabbits like this with red eyes.
Everything is suppose to be gray or brown eyed.
She definitely is not a REPW. I have many of those in many pointed shades and of course white bodies. Her body is colored. I am confused.
So here is the strange red eyed, colored kits pictures. She is 3 weeks old.
A close up of the color.
And her entire body.
Thanks for any help.
