and CalicoDoe is still holding out...

so all you rabbit color geneticisits...

papa is agouti (wild color)
and blackbunny is black all over (grayish fluff underfur)
and it looks like all the babies are black black

papa is agouti (wild color)
and CrabbyRabbit is ... 2 color calico? amber-red and gray (no black, no white) with light fur under her paws...
and we've got 4 blacks, and 2 calicos (amber-red with some black and white patches showing)

how's the black work? I was thinking it was dominant because black mama gave me all black babies, but I've got black babies in crabbyrabbit's bunch, and neither parent is black...

teach me?

I'm still learning about color genetics myself so I don't want to give any wrong answers, but I am really curious to hear a more experienced persons thoughts. Congrats on the healthy litters!

Still no babies for us :rolleyes: I have a doe on 31 so she still has a chance but the other is either holding out or not pregnant.

We have a litter due on the 29th. Lost our first litter last night. First time mom didn't nurse and it was 33 outside. Thought of pulling them inside for the night, but didn't want to keep her from nursing. Guess it didn't matter...

yeah, they can do that.
I've got 2 with litters... and one apparently not bred. although she did carry around some hay, and dig a nest... but that was a week ago and no babies yet, and the others bred within a day of her had babies more than a week ago. so... guessing not bred as I don't think they can hold out *that* long.

hopefully yours will be here today!
