If they look like NZWs, but in more colors, they could be just different colors of NZ. There can be red NZ, broken pattern NZ, black NZ, and a bunch of other colors. Good luck with you colony and mine rex!!

Ah, ok. I'm pretty sure they're just mixes but one never knows! Thanks

Even "just mixes" have a breed with dominant traits in them. That makes it easy to match them to a couple of their parent breeds.

Oh, cool

 

[DutchBunny03]

It is pretty cool. But confusing. That is what makes breeding so hard and sometimes unpredictable.

Yeah, I like looking at all the genes and traits. It gets pretty complicated!

I built all-wire hutches from the beginning. The first bunch were stacked on PVC racks I built and have manure collection trays of leftover steel siding panels. These panels slope downward into drain gutters I made by ripping 4" PVC pipe in half lengthwise and that drains into a bucket. When I needed grow-out cages, I hung all-wire cages on hooks in the wall and used the same steel panels and PVC gutters for manure collection but with a bit more slope on the panels. This works much better with almost every piece of manure falling all the way into the gutter and, if I had it to do over again, all my hutches would be like them. It makes clean-up and collection of the manure for fertilizer a snap and results in a very clean rabbitry.

I bought a special shed 10x12 extra tall with two lofts here is one half of it it will hold 16 rabbits and two nest cages and I have three grow out pens out side I hope you can tell that I am so happy the way it turned out and I am very proud to share it

@countrygirl1178 , I LOVE your cage set up! It looks so clean and efficient. Wire floored cages work so much better than solid floored.
