The darker coat that you see coming in has more guard hairs and is closer to the correct textured coat of a mature fuzzy lop. The coarser mature coat is easier to care for than the softer baby coat. (Although some adults have an incorrect, soft coat).

I would say, from seeing the new coat coming in, that yours is a siamese sable.

Edit: Something to also keep in mind, you "Black" Buck may possibly be a Self Chin - you now know that at least the buck or the doe carries the "c[suP]chl[/suP]" gene ;).



Thanks! But, um, OK, what's a Self chin?

I just sexed all the bunnies and all but the two black are bucks (and one of the blacks has a lucky toe). I sure did get a lot of bucks out of the last two litters.

 
A self chin is exactly what it sounds like - a chinchilla with the self gene instead of thecorrect agouti gene. They look just like normal blacks and can be shown as a black as long as the eye color is correct...sometimes self chins get blue or marbled eyes which would be a DQ since they are shown as a black.

As for your sable point, I believe she is what they call a "sallander"in the UK. It's shown as sable point here, just looks like a dark/smutty sable point. In laymans terms it's a tort with the chinchilla gene or a sable point with the chinchilla gene (which ever one is easier to remember) which makes sense since you have chinchilla, non extension, and self in that litter.

VERY cute kits! I have Fuzzies too and they are an awesome breed (well...the best!) Your babies are very cute, love the ears.
