Lionhead Rabbit Thread

I bred her to a blue buck, and we got 50/50. 2 white babies and 2 blue babies :O)

I would like a white bunny and I have been wondering about white genetics. does your girl have red or blue eyes? I think the genetics might be different for each eye color. I think it is great that you got both colors.

from my experiences breeding. vienna marked(like u have a black lion with dutch markings for an example) and bew carry the blue eyed gene. unless u have a parent that is a carrier u will not get a blue eyed baby from them.

for rew i believe cross to another rew will only throw rew babies. i don't think rew can mask color but someone who knows genetics more maybe can answer that better. that is the only differences i can think of off hand.

I have a vm black doe and her 2 daughters that do not have any marks. one daughter is blue and one is black. would it be possible to get blue eyes from anybody? what would I have to breed to to get a bew?
I have a few girls who have rew in the pedigree. how do I get rew kits?

my oldest kits are almost 4 weeks old now. they are coming out of the nestbox and are starting to eat. the next oldest have opened eyes. the one that looked like a frosted blue is really nice. I think it is a regular blue. the fur is very long. the 6 youngest are also doing great. chubby little tummies.

I just bought two black month-old kits. I was told the dam was red and the sire was gray and that they were the only two born in their litter. I'm planning to cross them once and see what colors I can get and whether or not the small litter size is genetic. Hopefully I'll end up with a litter of nice kittens and a head full of answers.

Does anybody know what the procedure will be to register lionhead once their recognized by the ARBA? Does the rabbit need the three-generation pedigree or just a blood test or physical exam by a registrar?

Very new to rabbits so thanks for the advice!

To get a lionhead do you breed 2 lionheads together? or do you have to breed a lion head rabbits to a non lion headed rabbit?

To register them, they will have to be accepted by ARBA. Then You need a pedigree at least 3 generations and the animal will be checked for any disqualifications. Also, you need to be a member of ARBA. If all checks out the registrar will put a tattoo in the animals rt. ear. I think it cost about $7 to register ea one.
