Could someone please tell me the color of the Mini Rex in picture up at top on right and the one at the bottom of picture?

Thanks.

That would be a black and Orange Harlequin patterned, Blue and Fawn (or lilac and fawn, I cant see on my screen too well) and an opal.

 

[love4bunnies]

That is what i thought to.

What color should i breed them to? The blue/ lilac fawn and the opal?

The blue,Lilac/fawn is the buck the other 2 are does but they are are all out of one litter.

Thanks very much.

you need to breed the opal to a opal to keep the color right and the harlies you need to breed them to a good broken of there dark colors or even a good colored red that will also help the colors........Toby

Yup. It's a harlequin, and Opal.

 

[SMALL S RABBITRY]

Oh and I want the Opal

 

[love4bunnies]

Thank you very much for the replys.

I don`t have another Opal and have no idea anyone with any and no idea where i could buy a red either.

Thanks again.

 

[love4bunnies]

Oh if you can come to Nova Scotia you can have the Opal LOL.

They are only 1/2 pedigreed.

 

[SMALL S RABBITRY]

or you can breed any of them with a REW with the colors in there back ground or breed to a blue on the opal or a black.......Toby

thats cool I saw a mistake on one of my posts so i fixed it I forgot castor can harm the color of the opal but i fixed it........Toby

 

[love4bunnies]

Oh i didn`t want to breed to Castor anyway LOL because i don`t like that color but i am only into some for a hobby.

If i bred to a black i wonder what colors i would get LOL She has a dark harlequin mother and a lilac father.



Thanks very much.

Castor, Opal, Black, and Black Otter is what the top 4 are on my genetices program on Evan's Rabbitry Program

Wow sounds interesting.

Here is her mother the Harlequin and the father Lilac of the babies.

At least they are calling the father a lilac:?

 

[SMALL S RABBITRY]

LILAC- The entire body is to be a rich lustrous med dove grey that runs deep towards the skinto a slightly lighter dove grey undercolor. Color is to be even over the entire animal. Toenails are to have pigmentation. Eyes blue-grey, ruby cast permissible.

Faults- Faded, rusty or sunburned color; scattered white hairs, color that is not even over the entire animal.

 

[lelanatty]

The father does look like a lilac.

 

[love4bunnies]

Yes but not a good looking one.

It looks like the flash was on in that picture which is why he looks more brownish. Here is a picture of him when he was younger with no flash. He actually has pretty good coloring.

Oh thanks Tessa.
Yes he is a nice color in that picture.
Thanks alot.
