HELP NAME MY BUNNY!

[Haley]

He is such a sweetie. He actually was tatooedfor showing and his markings were perfect when he was a baby, but thenhe developed a small brown spot on the white area above his saddle. So,they sold him as a pet and he eventaully ended up with me.

We had a member recently (sugargliders) who bred some tort dutches and they were just gorgeous!

Haley,

He looks like a blue tort to me too. A tort should have more black/dark to him.

At least in lionheads and minilops. You might want to show the picture to Pam Nock and ask her since she judges.

But that's a blue tort if I ever saw one (and I own them and breed them - just not in dutches)!

Yours is a tort while the other one is a blue tort - it is lighter and has more of a blue on the ears.

P.S. Edited to add: A blue tort is a dilute of atort. This means it is a lighter color than the traditional tort colorbecause it carries blue instead of black. The blue is a recessive geneand both parents had to carry it in order to get it.

Thanks Peg, I had been wondering. I see torts a lot and they are a bit oranger than Basil. He has a lot of grey on him.
