This is the second time I bred these two rabbits. Alex(chestnut agouti) and Ninja (broken chestnut agouti) the first time I got black, agouti,(both solid and broken) and martinized pointed whites.
This time I thought I had three martinized pointed whites (unshowable, but have people who love them for pets). Well I lost most of the litter at a week old. I saved two of the "white" kits, and now realize they are not white. They are broken some color or another. Obvious greyish coloring on rump and butterfly markings on their faces. Any ideas?? Both have red eyes? My people who where looking for a pointed white (as a pet) are going to be a bit dissapointed I guess. The one that is living with my other mini lop is a lot darker marked the the one who is living with he mini rex. The rest of the litter was agouti, and black, both solids and brokens.
I know its hard to tell at this age, but what are your thoughts?
1st kit -being fostered by a mini lop doe
at 1 week
at 1 week 6 days
2nd kit - being fostered by a mini rex doe
Second question - WallE (broken black) and Eva (self steel, or really dark sable) - In her first litter with Alex (buck above) she had black , siamese sable, and steel kits. This time she had a grey looking kit that died at two days, the rest are black except one broken grey kit. I thought it was a broken siamese sable but am not so sure. It almost looks to have banded fur, like a chinchilla or agouti. I know it is hard to tell at this age (almost 2 weeks) but just curious if you think it is siamese sable or something else?
Here is a picture with the first kit in question and the other kit in question (siamese sable?? broken grey kit) They have different parents and are unrelated, but the whitish one is being fostered by the other ones mom as its mom didn't have enough milk for the 11 babies she had and five died
